One day I watered mine with straight water to use up built up salts. Next morning I had some nute deficiency. The tips of all the big leaves on every plant were bend downward. Apparently there were no salts built up at all, and just like they would have in traditional hydro they immediately...

Agree completely. Exotic supplements are not necessary.

Yeah, you really cant beat T5 for vegging. T5 will give you very short internode distance. Three weeks and they are big enough to go into the flowering room, and I grow trees. They are vegging a lot faster in coco than they were in my DWC vegging setup. 23 plants, you would want like a...

Pardon my ignorance.... What the hell is drip clean? Is it something to dissolve salt buildup in drippers?

What you need to do is get some forbid 4f for the next round vegetative plants. Forbid 4f kills all mites and eggs with one application per crop. You can only use it during vegetative stage, and it kills for 6 weeks systemically. You only need to spray it on the topside of the plant and it...

How much run off do you allow and do you flush them?

I have converted two rooms to coco so far. Going perpetual. Just using base nutes and calmag. I'm curious what PPMs people are running with their coco grows? Im running pretty low for flowering, 600 PPM - 650 PPM. 100 - 150 PPMs of this is calmag. Only about 500 PPM are flowering...

As for a drip assembly.... Here is the cheapest easiest way to set up drip. Plastic air stone manifold - $3 Cheap water pump - $16 1/4 inch airline - black preferably Drip stakes, can be bought at most hardware stores 3/8 inch poly hose to connect the water pump to the manifold. That's all...

I am using GH flora series with cal-mag. Results so far are breathtaking. Here is what I am doing: I am vegging in 3 gallon pots and flowering in 7 gallon pots. I am draining to waste between 1 pint and 1 quart per pot. For flowering I first add the calmag at 100 ppm - 150 ppm, then add...

This stuff is miraculous. 1 ml makes a gallon of spray. You spray them once during vegetative stage and it kills mites and eggs for almost 7 weeks. This stuff is a holocaust. You can get it on Ebay, a few ML for 20$...

Damping off is caused by pythium bacteria. The same bacteria that cause root rot. Hydrogen peroxide will save you.

looks a bit over fertilized. 1/4 - 1/2 strength nutes til they start branching.

They look over watered. Thats where the droop comes from.

Coco is a midway point between soil and hydroponics. You get the aggressive growth of hydroponics with the forgiving nature of soil. Coco is inert and has no nutrients so you need to use hydroponic fertilizer. Your yields should go up by at least 1/3 and more likely they will double.

Get forbid 4f. Spray once per crop, no mites. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pipette-free-gift-of-Forbid-4f-Miticide-1-4-oz-Aphids-Mites-No-Sales-To-CA-/271168262993?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f22e35351 1 ml makes a gallon of spray. Only thing I ever tried that works everytime. Spray once...

In hydro cal-mag is used the last 60% of the flowering phase, after they stretch. The plants increase magnesium uptake when the buds are filling out and finishing. It isn't needed during vegetative stage.

The face of evil...

No, the loose fibers you get are already reconstituted. Same thing as bricked coco. I know they add other stuff to certain brands, like perlite etc. It's all good!

He has a point. The first time I reconstituted a brick, I had 14 gallons of wet coco, but only needed four gallons so I had ten gallons left over sitting in a hefty bag. It sat for three weeks before I needed it again. I just ran 5ml per gallon of 35% h202 water through it before I used it...

Yep, didn't add cal-mag one watering and saw calcium deficiency on every plant. They seem to like about 100 ppm of calmag every watering.
