See i thought about just using the a+b alone an see how that would work for me, since i got gallons of it.. how are your yeilds?

old grow
Last plant harvestedcurrent growmuch more veg time on this one, but I'd say pretty decent yeild on the others with one month from seed before flower in 3 gallon pots

No bad i usually veg for 2 or 3 months, i usually yeild atleast 6 to 9 a plant but the last ones where only 4..sounds like i would do better if i just used the a+b after seeing urs an using 5 gallons

How much are u feeding and how often?

In coco I feed about every 2 - 3 days, depends on the humidity and such, I only mix in around 10 ml per gallon of each maxing out at 12 in the peaks of veg and bloom, I'll give plain tap water with Epsom salts in between feedings if needed, but haven't on this one (3 month veg in 5 gallon flower lighting started 2 weeks ago)

Ffw or fwf? I was doing ffw cause fwf didnt work for me but with all the additives an eveeything my plant would get salt build uo here and there an i would have to flush

No, I'm more of a feed feed feed guy, I'm in coco so there isn't any nutrients in my media, if I go water only is just to rinse any salt buildups in the bottom of the root zone, I don't usually have any because I keep my ppms low and always give a good leaching when I water with nutrients

See im using advanced sunshine 4 with coco coir so i dont about feeding like that but then again i was using all the additives.

Weird thing about growing cannabis, there's a billion ways to do it, folks get angry with each other and bash about there way being "the" way, but the more I watch what others are doing the more I realise their is no right way only your own way, if that makes any sense. I'm sure the nutes you are using work great, but if they don't work great for you then definately find the ones that fit your style, have you always been coco or have you used different media in the past?

Im trying different ways and medias, im trying a hempy bucket with all perlite right now, im doing the sip method which is half soil and half hydro..but i just starting trying this but yes ive used the same media for the last 5yrs an been scared to switch..

Cool, so you definately get how the coco works then, what made you want to switch the nutes up this time, spirit of adventure?lol. Sounds like you just need to dial the nutes in to me, just like any other change you make in your grow environment.I moved to a new house about a year ago and have been chasing the dial in on my rooms ever since, took all spring and summer just to finally get to a place i feel I can control the temps and humidity of, go over your notes and see if you missed something, or re-read your labels and simplify your feed scedules a bit, most of the bells and whistles are pretty much just that right? Bells and whistles aren't always needed we are growing pot not cats lol

I just feed the cost for one, an i have alot a problems thru mid flower everytime with the nutes but like i said i use the whole line, i guess i need to cut all the additives an just keep it simple.. i do know i get a better result not ph vs ph in that soil tho...

An the switch in nutes is cheaper and simple an something that seem interesting to me to try

On the sip you are running, did you amend the soil with dm? Just wondering out loud if it would be the way to go with a soil sip if I try one in the future

Im sorry what do mean but dm? All i did is got a deep round tray an put a gro pro nx plant elevator in it with a round air stone with a 7 gallon smart pot on top of the elevator, top fed then fill the tray up to the elevator.. keep top feeding til the roots grow out the bottom of the smart pot then the roots will feed itself after that, just keep the tray full and change once a week or 2, if ur lazy its a way to go..

Sorry, dolemite lime, do you amend the soil with it to keep the ph in line or do you just ph the water res as it's feeding the roots direct?

Well im using the rx green solutions on it, an there is no need to ph with their line in any median.. pretty much run it as hydro and no i didnt do anything to the soil at all..
