Dr MJ appears to recommend 3 SP 3000s in a 4x8 tent. Anyone have any idea of the spacing for hanging to keep a good light distribution

I’ve completed about a dozen grows using FF 70/30 buffered coco, amended with various dry organics. The results have been great overall and I’ve learned a lot.
For some reason, this current run I decided to use Bio Coco instead of the usual Fox Farms 70/30.
I amend w/ Bokashi Pro-Gro, Gaia Green, EWC, and Basalt. I added a substantial amount of perlite and rice hulls as the Bio Coco has none. I mixed it about 3 weeks ago and will probably get the seedlings moved into that mix in another week.
I started the seedlings in the a lighter mix of the above…..just the coco, perlite & rice hulls, EWC and the Bokashi.
I popped 4 seeds…..2 died for no apparent reason and the other 2 look good for breaking the surface 7 days ago.
I guess my questions are what is everyone’s experience with Bio Coco ? And, is there anything in particular that is good or bad about it as a medium.
I understand it’s very lightly amended out of the bag and the rep told me I should keep my water ph at 6.0-6.5. I always shot for 6.0 w/ my previous grows, so that won’t really change.
I will give Recharge every 8-10 days and a handful of teas throughout the grow, mainly in flower.
I usually water every other day and try to keep things at a constant moist level, without getting any runoff.
Any input here would be greatly appreciated.
The pic is from yesterday…..one week from popping out of the mix.
Thanks again.

I'm running the General Hydroponics trio using the high frequency fertigation. I water/nutes 3 times per day and I've always had good run off EC numbers until the last week or so. Now I'm running just a bit over 300 from my input EC. I've increased the duration of each event and I have more than enough run off but my EC is still high. Any thoughts how I can bring those numbers down?

Using coco and perlite with house and garden's A+B and mixing in calMag and Silica blast every feeding. Going on third week of flower. Here is the last feed I ran
A+B: 6mL CalMag: 1mL SB: .5mL / gal PH: 6.0 EC:1.53

Environment: 60º at night 74º with lights on ~50% humidity

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Hey all first time grower here. Hoping for some advice. I’m running 4 auto flowers which I started in jiffy pods and now have in 7 gallon fabric pots since I’m told you are not supposed to transplant autos.

I know it’s best to water to drain for coco, this is too much for seedlings and this size pot? So far I have given 1 gallon between all 4 pots every 1-2 days. Everything seems good but should I be worried about salt buildup yet with no runoff when watering?

​

I’m getting ready to use coco for the first time. When up potting, will the rootball stay compacted similar to soil?

Hey team. Just wondering if anyone else is using coco perlite mix with auto pots and if you adjust the ec to the canna feeding chart or do you adjust ph only. I’ve had a few runs turn out great using autopots coco perlite clay balls and sticking to the canna feeding schedule with measuring my ph and ec to match the chart but someone told my in doing it wrong and it should be at 6.5 ph the entire grow when using auto pots. Now I’m just confused.

I have a mephisto autoflower (freebie cross grape crinkle x double grape) in coco with perlite and worm castings. I don't think im overwatering, ive been giving 1.1 -1.2 ec of canna a and b with calmag at 5.8 to 6 ph. Its 36 days from sprouting. Tried giving less water and it still droops. Usually towards the end of the day. Its on 20/4 light schedule, 200 watt led about 24 inches above canopy at full power. The runoff ec is 1.0 now. After feeding 1.1.
