I switched to coconut coir, boticare brand with perlite already mixed. I use roots organic dry fertilisers. They are growing twice as fast as peat moss mix I was using. But I'm having problems half way through flower, fading hard. I think I need to feed them more in flower. The roots grow so much faster in coco.

Looking good Mo Last summer Blue D 
My flowers look great but the leaves have faded hard. I realized I needed to feed them more. I looked up the feeding schedule from roots organic and they recommend week 1, 3, and 5 feeding. Still learning with this coconut coir.I bought a ph meter yesterday. First one I ever owned.

I have the opposite happening. I topped dressed some plants with some blood meal, neem/karanja cake, azomite, and guano and then covered it all in 2-3 inches of bark mulch and I cant get my plants to fade. Lot of my roots are growing upwards to feed directly off that zone and there is a lot of active composting going on by all kinds of critters.
I just harvested a Lotus Larry girl grown outside and flushed it for a good 2-3 weeks straight water, didnt fade but it smokes real smooth and burns to clean white ash. I'm also growing in straight, undiluted super soil thats been sitting since last summer....I like to just mix up a good soil and do a tea every so often, PHing bottles and sticking to feeding schedules is too humbug for me.

What I mean is, I topdressed right before plants went outside to flower. Then just water or tea till harvest. I had problems with early fading using a few different brands of soil.

Lambsbread x OG at 3 weeks. Blumat auto watered since the flip and no nutrients.
@kaloconnection Mahalo for posting the blue mat info, I think I'm gonna get that. I've been trying to come up with a auto watering system. I have a 17gal tub in my flower room catching water from my dehumidifier. I'd like to put a pump in there and some kinda timer or auto water system. I don't have anyone I trust to look after my plants so I can't leave for more than a day or two.

Yeah man, Costco online has the best deal I've seen anywhere. They also got all kine grow shit now: LED's, aerocloners, tents, etc. I keep a 5 gal bucket as my reservoir feeding 9 plants in 3 gals, lasts me over a week, so 17 gal would be cherry, especially if it is regularly being refilled by your dehumidifier.
Blumat is all automatic, no electricity or pumps needed...theres a couple hundred page thread on icmag dedicated to blumats.
