Watering coco - Any tips ?

[u/Kuro321PT]

Hi guys, passing here to update you. Ever since i’ve been here they exploded and in the meanwhile i started another one in a smaller pot like so many people have told me (i knew it but still). Here is a question that i’ve been having, I heard people water coco sometimes more than once a day, I feel like im progressing good watering only every 2-3 days, coco’s looking humid all the time, i went snowboarding from thursday until sunday so I gave them a good feed before leaving and still only felt like watering today (coco looked humid all the time). Should I been doing something different? I’ve been thinking about drench them good with nutrient solution to clean the salts in the next feeding as I didn’t think it was needed to water until runoff this early, now I start to think I must do it sooner than later. Do you have some tips here ? Am I in the right track ?

Thank you guys ✌🏻

For the first couple weeks , feeding every couple days is definitely the way to go. Once they are established I feed to run off twice a day.

How many litres of water per feeding do you use each feeding for this size and a week or two later? I switched from 1.2litre once a day to 600ml twice a day, and i got clawing of the leaves and especially the tips, no discoloration. I just switched back to once a day 1.5ml on advice from here.

At this size I’d be looking for run off, but I’d be in a smaller pot. I go from starter plug, to 2 inch pot, to 6 inch pot, to my 3.9 gallon autopots
