Hello Iv been hand watering my cocoa for a few years now and now trying the drippers run to waste...here is what I have done so far.
Hand watered in vedge for 4 weeks , 3weeks in small pots from rooted clone then 1 week in big 20litre and then flipped to flowering.
Started using the drippers when I switched to 12/12 with 3 feeds of half a litre each per day(1 and a half litres everyday) with no run off but hand watering 1 time every week with big run off.
Now my first problem which arose in the first week was leaf tip burn and some slight hooking of leaves, I was feeding with an ec of 1.6 (800ppm US) which I know now is too high for multiple feedings but in the past ok for feeding every other day hand watering. My EC NOW IS 1.3 (650 PPM US) 1 and a half weeks into flowering but still maybe a little high but Im worried about lowering it further in case of deficiencies.
I must say after the nute burn episode I gave them a thorough flush with ph water and cal mag and then lowered my ppms on nxt feeding to 1.3ec.650ppm.
Well here goes the question can anyone help me on strength of feedings when feeding multiple times aday ???? Should I just keep the cocoa moist at all times or let it dry out then feed? (which would i suspect defeat the whole object of using drippers and mulitple feeds)..
Last night I hand watered til run off as Im just clueless on amount of times to feed or strength of feeds to use with drippers...please anyone with dripper expirience help???
Growing in tent dr240w..
8 plants in 20 litre pots (black kush)
two dripper lines in each pot with each dripper giving half a litre every 15min..so each pot getting a litre every 15mins
using hesi cocoa nute line with pwerzyme and super vit also bio balancer by canadian express and keep it clean by dutch pro (same as drip clean)
