Hey penny wise can I ask you some questions about Coco coir and lighting?
I want to know how far to keep a 400 watt mh lamp away from seedling/small plants?
My plants are 19 days old but growing still very slowly in Coco they are in 2l pots and most plants have roots popping out of the...
If you have a well buffered coco with cal and mag you maybe not need extra calmag. If your tapwater has enough calmag you also dont need extra calmag i think. I found a good video growing in coco coir but i dont know if i can upload it in here or i get a ban for uploading videos if someone...
My bigger plants and the cuttings the coco i use is canna coco. At seedling stage they took about 3days to dry out in 0.2l pots. I got some new seeds in another coco, the coco is not soo fine as the canna coco and the seedlings are also in 0.2l pots and they are waay more dry after one day...
With my bigger plants i can see at the drainholes where the roots coming out there is some grey/green fungus it looks like aspergillus. And this mold grows on overwatered rotting organic material. I looked at the whole room/house if some where grows mold because the house is so old but i cant...
Ok thx i only feed the seedlings at 300ppm on 0.5 scale. I will go back to your ppms with my bigger plants. I feed them around 900ppm daily to runoff so i will go some lower for the ppms. But you have to give more runoff because of the salt buildup in the coco? Dont take the roots damage if they...
Thanks i will try it. I started some new seeds and i feed at 0.6ec, if i let the coco dry out what ec should i use? :)
i also can see the coco stays really wet at the bottom, at the top it feels moist but not soaking wet. My pots have enough drainholes but after i water and they drained i can...
Hmm i think i have problems with root rot. The plants drink really slow, i got some cuttings from a growshop and they also show signs of root rot,i took them out of the coco and some roots starting to turn brown. With my bigger plants they also have some brown roots and i never get those big...
And one more question should i water the coco daily?
I read some more here and i want to know some questions. Do you start to feed the seedlings after the first transplant from jiffy/coco pellets to a coco Medium and start to feed 0.3calmag +1.0 base nutes so you are at 1.3ec for seedlings? Is...
Ok yesterday they looked more yellow maybe because of the wet coco without good drainage put them in the coco on 3.5.19 hmm and im not sure if i should use calmag to my base nutes or just use the base nutes. Is the 0.6ec ok or can i give them some more?
