    Why PH in coco is so low

    Been trying to research but have found nothing on why ph in coco is so low. 5.5 to 5.8 is what I keep seeing as the sweet spot. If cal/mag is readily absorbed at 6.0 to 6.5 and cal/mag problems are so prolific in coco grows why is 5.5 to 5.8 the sweet spot? Coco does not ph buffer so I am not...

    Srem narrowing

    I have never seen a problem like this before. 95 percent of the rest of the plant is super healthy and green with most all leaves super healthy green. On like 1 or 2 lower branches half way up the stem it gets very narrow and looks dead for like 2 inches. It then goes thick again and is a nice...

    Farm Security

    Hey guys I live in Texas and am interested in starting a CBD farm. Any docs on common pitfalls or issues would be great. The main reason I'm here tho is to ask for security ideas. Getting started is expensive so can't afford top notch security or a guard or anything. Other than a fence and...

    Coco or water?

    Just curious on everyone's opinion about growing in coco versus growing directly is water. I am currently doing both and so far its seems like more of a hassle dealing with direct water. Coco I can manage my feed in smaller amounts wheres water its the entire bucket and if you change water...

    Ro water

    Just need some tips on cheap water I know it sounds dumb but I got through about a gallon of water a day feeding all my girls. At 1 dollar a day that adds up. Any ideas on a cheaper solution? Maybe buying a good filter or something? My water is suuuper hard sitting at .65ec out the tap so it's...

    White patches on seedling

    Growing in coco with ph tap water at 5.6 - 5.9 with no nutes. Tap water is super hard right now at .65 uc. She popped about 4 days ago and was doing great and this morning woke up to see her with big white patches on both leaves. All reading I've done suggests she doesn't need nutes yet. So...

    I have root aphids!!

    Thought I had an overwatering issue but after digging through top layer of soil I see tons of white tiny bugs. I've been catching tiny little bugs in glue traps but this infestation got away from me as it was really beneath the surface. Plants are yellow and wilting from them. I ordered captain...

    Coco and overwatering

    Ok so I am growing in coco for my second grow. For the first coco grow I followed a technique of frequent fertigation watering three times a day. This worked very well but it was started with larger plants so I think they were able to breathe better. This grow I was doing the same thing and...

    To harvest or not

    Simple issue... my baby's trichomes are mostly white and milky with about 10 - 15% starting to go amber... good time to chop her down right? The only thing stopping me is she is still making buds and has fresh calyxes with fresh pistils still being created. Should I cut it now or wait until...

    Northern lights brown spots

    I have an issue where only on the NL strain am I seeing brown spots on leaves. This to me looked like a calcium deficiency so I upped the cal/mag in her grow solution. Current grow solution is mega crop a and b. I am feeding the larger girl around 1.4 ec and the small girl .85 ec. Ph is...

    Trouble with diagnosis... Calcium deficiency?

    I noticed a week or so ago that my Northern Lights auto has some browning spots on her. I had some initial light burn as my leds were a bit too close to her. Backed them up a bit but still noticed some browning on newer growth. After doing some research it looks like calcium deficiency but I...

    Curling claw leaves.

    Growing in coco and Perlite. PH is between 6.0 and 6.3 with EC intake at 1.2 and output EC at .8. Giving her plenty of nutes in each feeding. I seriously doubt this is an overwatering issue as I am growing in coco and drainage is great. Only watering twice a day 1.5 cup each watering in 5 gal...
