A lot of growers seem to like 70% coco and 30% perlite, but I should let Bill speak to all things coco.

Hi @FelipeBlu
I couldn’t find a label as such, but here is the official website, it seems to have information about them:
Jungle Juice 3 Part Grow Micro Bloom | Advanced Nutrients
Jungle Juice hydroponic fertilizer is a grow-micro-bloom base hydroponic nutrient. Here are the five reasons to use Jungle Juice for your hydroponic crops.
www.advancednutrients.com
They say at that link that this line has the same ratios as the GH Flora series, but I like to see a label before I add it to my database of nutrients for my spreadsheet.
If you get this line, please make sure to follow the directions for mixing (Micro first, mix well, then add the next, mix well, etc.)
If you get this line, please make sure to follow the directions for mixing (Micro first, mix well, then add the next, mix well, etc.)
That's a perfect ratio.
As long as your coco is washed and buffered.
Do you have access to bokashi and insect frass.
I mix it into the coco first its wonderful for roots and nutrient uptake.
But even mycorrhizae mixed in first will help.
4" coir pots are fine for the first week or so usually.
Then I'd go to 5 gal cloth bags filled with your coir mix.
I can help you with watering when you get there.
If you can get your hands on GH nutrients that will be fine.
Stay safe
I found the labels for all three Jungle Juice parts! So, if you go with this line, I would suggest the following:
Early Veg: 3ml/gal each
provides
65 ppm N
28 ppm P
74 ppm K
47 ppm Ca
18 ppm Mg
Mid Veg: 5ml/gal each
provides
108 ppm N
46 ppm P
123 ppm K
79 ppm Ca
30 ppm Mg
Late Veg - Bloom: 7ml/gal each
provides
151 ppm N
64 ppm P
172 ppm K
111 ppm Ca
42 ppm Mg
For one week (after stretch): increase Bloom to 9ml/gal
Boosts P to 78 ppm and K to 193 ppm

I will prepare this 70% washed and buffed coco + 30% perlite. I already have mycorrhiza, I can source good quality insect frass locally too.
Let me first shift the plants to a more conducive and healthy media and then I’ll inform you of their state with time.

I will go ahead and order this line and start with your recommendations.

I started with the Radon Grow till the time I have access to GH, and starting feeding CalMag+, once a day.
The plants seem to be much better now, as far as I can see, have attached photographs.
Getting better, keep on going and they will bounce back.Hi @Bill284 @FelipeBlu ,

Hi @Bill284 ,
First on, Thanks a ton for the help, they sure seem to be getting green.
Just had a few questions, should I keep feeding them with the fertiliser everyday, or something like 3 times a week?
I have ordered the ppm meter and Tds pen, for the pH I am maintaining it at 5.8, what are the ideal values of TDS and ppm that I should maintain?
All 4 of these plants are autoflowering feminised, so, they will flower according to time rather than development, is it so? I am a little confused about that factor.
In coco, you must feed with every watering. Do you still have them in the mix with the heavy metal vermicompost? If so, and you care about your health, you should really take them out and put them in a new mix without it - just coco and perlite.
For small plants like that, 500 to 750 ppm is appropriate.

Hey @FelipeBlu ,
I replaced the soil mix yesterday itself, replacing with a mix of 70% coco + 30% perlite, sure, I will keep that in mind and feed them everyday
Okay, I will maintain 500-750ppm once the ppm and tds meters arrive.

As Filipe stated feed every day, no plain water ever.
Try and nail the 5.8 every time it's important.
Also just weak nutrients for now around 500 or so is plenty until they get some roots going.
And as stated straight coco is going to be your easiest to maintain and feed.
Stay safe.

Hey @Bill284 ,
Sure, I will continue feeding them everyday, maintaining pH at 5.8, will update you as they progress.
Thanks

Hey @Bill284 ,
All four girls now seem to be quite healthy and doing well. I just had a question on which I’m getting mixed opinions everywhere.
I have now shifted to a mix of 70% coco + 30% perlite for all plants, and was originally watering every day.
But I have come to realise that the pots don’t sufficiently dry out between consecutive waterings. Meaning, the coco is never completely dry, so, should I shift to watering once in 2-3 days, or should I stick to watering once daily?

In veg you want to feed at least once a day at 5.8ph until you get runoff.
Coco is hydroponic ond must be kept wet all the time.
Once they are in flower you can feed2-3 times a day.
Looking good Amigo.
Stay safe.

I just caught up here. You are in absolutely amazing hands here with @Bill284 and @FelipeBlu. Stick with these guys and you'll do just fine. Your plants are already on the road to recovery and it shows. Good job.

Hey @Grower100 hope you are well today.Hi All,
Thanks for the help . One of the plants has seemed to stop growing since I transplanted in into a larger pot, I’m watering once a day at 600ppm, with recommended ratios, pH 5.8. What seems to be the problem here.
Do you have any root health products?
Superthrive, b1,Kelp anything like that to give the roots a little help.
Stay safe

I am okay, hope you are fine as well. I do have access to premium liquid seaweed if that’s be of any help.
