How to grow in Coco: Feed schedule

[Cultivator]

Oh yes sorry thats my error. The principal is the same though. Start on really small amounts and build it up. So 50ml around the seedling then after a week start upping it to 100ml, then 250ml etc. What size pot is it?

Photo plants are better for indoors. Autos arent faster and use more electricity. But make this auto the best ever. Id avoid topping and just start bending the plant as soon as its got 3 nodes.

It's a 12.5 litre pot, I heard a gallon for every month your growing is right ? Ya I'm hoping to move onto photo plants because I heard from 1 photo plant you get the same yield as 10 autos

Well that depends on who you ask. Its possible to get good results from both.

A gallon for every month growing is way too much in a 12litre pot. I reckon you will be doing 2litres per day by the time the plant starts to flower. Maybe a touch more. Just give enough so that each day the pot is light to lift but not so dry that the plant wilts.

Hey cult. The way I understand it is because it's similar to hydro you can flower with a root bound plant. Infact being root bound is good as it allows you to up your water frequency. That's why most people grow in 2-3 gal containers. Am I wrong in this? Works for me to let the plant get bound then flower.

This guy was grown in a 4" container. Root bound before flower.

Coco is hydro and many people mistake that.

Yes you can get pots full of roots as long as you frequently feed and dont over do it to the point of plants being strangled.

I use fabric pots mostly now but i would say minimum 12litre pot if you are only feeding 1x per day.

Normally i do 4 plants per light with 20litre pots.

Nice roots cult. That's what I'm talking about! When do you cut great white? Just before flower?? I like your waste set up. Is it easy to drain those basins? Please post more pics of what your pots sit on.

Simple drip system

Cult. This is my drip system I currently use. Do you have any advice or tweaks to get the most out of my system? It's diy. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I cant get into my gallery for.some reason. I have a journal in my sig called easyfeed hydroponic, its in there. Theres actually no waste or run off. The set up started out as a bottom fed system but i modified it for drippers.

I add great white direct to roots on transplant and hand feed with it once per week until day 28 of flower. Its the one additive i wouldnt substitute or give up.

Great thread cultivator.

I wouldn't mind getting into drip feeding my coco coir after I have some root-bound ladies

I'll have to check out your system and see if there is anything I can make better on mine. I'm a little confused. You get no runoff? I had a lockout develop from too little runoff, how do you manage that? Little to no runoff sounds a lot less messy. I love my great white but I don't take it all the way into flower. I'm going to try that out. Use it all the way through the first month of flower. Thank you.

Drip feeding is def a great way to feed coco plants. They respond to it so well.

And thanks.

I dont have any run off at all. I have my ec spot on and never have any probs. Small amounts often. Then when i flush i start 10 days before harvest. 1 flush with 20% run off of plain water not ph adjusted then i just water daily as per regular feeds.

So if for example I was using a 5 litre pot would I water it with 5l or under? And about using the GMB is that the total ppm from the 3 bottles or should I add that amount from each bottle (grow then micro then bloom?)

Also if using a drip feed system in coco is it necessary to use an air stone constantly or am I able to turn it on for fifteen minutes every so many hours during the day and then maybe half hour before feed?

[johnnyblazeon]

Or even just turn them on an hour before feed?
