Watered every few days with a lower strength nutes

What if I mixed the coco with half the native soil and treated it like soil.

So what's the consensus, would digging a hole work?

Ive tried that, still got root rot, temps here stay over 40 degrees all year round. Even used 50% perlite. I'm thinking buy putting the coco in the ground, the root mass will stay cool.

Ive been a coco grower indoor for many years with no problems, growing outdoors in coco I'm always getting root rot, live on the equator its hot as all year round. I was thinking instead of pots to dig a 20 gallon hole in the ground and fill it with straight coco. Can anyone see any problems...

Thanks for your reply, I'll try a few and see how I go, I'll also try putting the hole on some 1 inch high instead of 2, just so the water doesn't sit in there as long.

Sorry if this question has been asked before I searched on this thread as much as possible and others but couldnt find the answer. I grow on the equator pure sativas, usually panama and haze. I grow in a green house using pure perlite watering 3 to 5 times a day. Its not hempy the holes are at...

Ill have to do a side by side comparison, pool shock vs UV sterilizer vs peroxide

Thanks for the reply, I think a UV sterilizer would be perfect for the well, just hard to get one in the country, ill have to do some researching, I've been drinking from it for a few months, it was fine up until a month ago I got typhoid after finding a dead bat in there. I didnt close the lid...

Yeah I'm good thinking of filling a 44 gallon drum and add some calcium hypochlorite or pool shock, and let it sit over night, then water

Thanks for the info. I wish it was that easy, I'm an Aussie moved to rural Africa, English here is not coming, my well was dug by hand. Anything I have to get to treat the well will have to be ordered from the states.

Does anyone know if its ok to use at seedling stage?

I got it made especially for growing, ive had it tested for minerals, ph etc but thats all I can do, I'm in Ghana near the equator so Its the only test I can find. I'm also limited to products I can buy

I'd love to but I have to electricity at the the site, plus im planting half an acre of veggies, so its a lot of water

I've been growing non stop for the last 6 years in coco run to waste outdoor. Ive had great success without any problems. I recently moved to a rural area and the only water source I have is a well. The well water is infested with pythium, as soon as my sprouts emerge they get root rot and...

I'll be growing sweet skunk and c99 from peakseedsbc, Malawi and panama haze from ace seeds, never grown a sativa dominant or pure, so will be an interesting grow.

I usually start them in coco pellets, then transplant in 30 gal pots, this is how I grew out door in Australia. This will be my first equator grow so no veg time here.

Thanks for your reply. So just stick the seeds straight into the 2.5 gal pot and go from there?

About to start a grow on the equator. I'm growing sweet skunk, c99, Malawi and panama. All the strains are either pure sativa or sativa dominant. The light is constantly 12/12 all year round so I guess this would be the best thread to post questions. I'm growing in 10 litre (approx 2.5 gallon)...

I would like to start a grow on the equator where the days are 12/12 all year round. The problem is rainy season starts in 3 months so what I ever I grow now will finish in rainy season, my question is would I need to grow a pure sativa like Malawi or Neville's haze etc or would a sativa...
