These plants are in the bin several weeks ago. Coco has been a total waste of time for me, I fucking hate it. Back to dwc and never looking back.

Right, it's been two weeks since I last posted about these fucking plants. I've flushed them (again) it has taken ages for them to dry out, they look over watered, well I have let the coco go bone dry, flushed them, fed them, moved them under my cmh lights, temps up to 25°c, everything under the...

I'm using diy Samsung strip light (6 strips) ~140w in my veg tent. Temps are around 15-20°c I know it's a bit cool, but it shouldn't affect them too much right?

OK, so really I don't need any calcium, but am definitely short on magnesium. Is there a calmag minus the cal I can buy?

Classic grow forum advice here, seems a bit of everything is the recommendation! :lol: I've just dropped 6 more beans in some root riot plugs, when they surface I'll put these 3 in the flower tent so I get something at least in a couple of months (gotta make the electric bill worth it!) then by...

Is there any regulation over strain genetics? There seems to be millions of strains by millions of breeders that some of them must be made up bullshit or the same seeds repackaged as something else. I mean I could buy a pack of Gorilla Glue seeds, grow them out and make a shit ton of seeds...

I fed them a bit around 10 days ago, then let them dry out as people said to do. Then.fed them a couple of days ago. Using canna coco. Run off ec is slightly higher than what's going in think this is down to me giving them 1.8 a couple of weeks ago. Now giving them 1.0 ec and getting 1.2 out...

I was doing it once a day until I made this thread and let them dry out over the last couple of weeks, last fed them two days ago.

The dripper runs off a tiny pump in the res, it's not on a timer, I just plug it in for about a minute when I want to feed them, it gives them 500ml-750ml over a minute roughly.

OK, it's been 2 weeks since I first posted. Since then I have poured about 5 litres of 1.0ec water @ph6 through the pots, minus the calmag. I let it dry out quite a bit which took until two days ago. Then I fed them until run off. They have grown a bit but still look rough as fuck. This coco...

Yes they were doing fine until they went into bigger pots. I've diluted the res down and given them a light feed each morning the last few days and they have perked right up. I think I managed to bog them down with too much water, combined with the high N levels they weren't happy. The pots are...

I fill my res with water, add Calmag, stir, add micro, then grow, then bloom stirring in between. Then ph test it, it usually ends up around 6.5ph, so I add a squirt of ph down and give it a stir, let it settle for half an hour, then test it again until its at ph5.8. I have a small air stone in...

My tap water never gave me trouble in dwc, used to have RO water a few years ago but moved into a house with a water meter now so can't justify the cost of running the RO filter. I guess another factor for me in coco is it doesn't grow as fast as dwc so I may be seeing slower growth as a...

I might try h3ads formula once I have got things working properly, I don't think chopping and changing things is going to do me any favours until I have got the hang of what I'm doing. So in the meantime, what should I be doing with regards to my current approach? Should I be feeding until run...

My tap water is 0.6ec, then 1ml/l Calmag takes it up to 1.0, then nutes on top bring it to 1.8ec.
