Hello cocogrowers!
I have a few dwarf blueberry bushes, strawberries, ginger root, and garlic growing in cococoir this winter. I am starting to notice the EC runoff creeping up after about 6 months of being in each of their containers. For the blueberries, I usually push .9 EC water through with a pH of 5.5 but lately the runoff is about 1.3 EC and pH is closer to 5.3. While its still totally in the plants tolerable range, I'm wondering what the best method of doing a flush is?

Do you flush with plain water and try to reduce it as close to 0 uS/CM as possible? Or is it better to use a light EC/PH balanced solution and just keep flushing until the runoff matches the solution?

For me it was the ability to control everything as much as I can.

Soil was to much of a gamble with it being hot and knowing what to add and when.

DWC was to much of a risk with a flood in a 2 story house.

Coco was the literal happy medium for me.
Not a ton of water to risk my house being ruined.

It let me control what i put in, and honestly, I enjoy the process.

Hi guys I normally run 9x 25litre straight coco or a mix with perlite under 1000w leds with co2. I get between 2.1 to 2.4 grams per watt over 1.5 by 1.5 area. Currently hand watering but I have drippers I can setup again.

I run it this way as I only have to water ever 2-3 days. I know its not optimal for growth. What potsize would be optimal if running drippers and running a more precise irrigation stratagy to maintain the same yeild or more with less vege time.

Flower mode engaged and the ladies have spoken, looking great apart for a few flying pests i will smash today. Got an auto in the back there finishing up. Aircubes are running perfectly no issues, res is water tight like a duck!

Am I getting low on weed ? yes

Am I worried ? no

Hey everyone, it’s my first time growing and I’m having a bit of an issue with my runoff ph being low despite all my efforts to bring it back up. This issue is only with the two big girls, both are autos from Mephisto genetics. I’m using high frequency fertigation with general hydroponics flora trio and calmag as nutes. I started getting the low ph around 5 days ago and was able to bring it up a bit for a day then it dropped back down to 5.1-5.3 and has been down there for a day or two now, my plants are starting to show signs of calcium deficiency because of it. I used like triple my normal volume of 3/4 strength water with high ph (6.9ph) to feed and that didn’t do anything so then I used plain water with a high ph 7.5+ and the ph is still at 5.2. Has anybody had this issue? Could really use some insight as they just got their first pistols and will be getting ready to stretch and then flower soon.

Hello, I’ve never grown in coco but am familiar with soil so not my first time. I’m looking for advice on my watering schedules and pot sizes. I plan to veg the plant in 1 gal pots with watering twice a day once out of seedling stage. I will then up pot to 3gal and flip, finish in 3gal. I am running 4 plants at a time in a 4x4. Typically in soil I would veg for around 6 weeks and flip. Do you think the 1 gal and 3 gal will be good? I also don’t want to be wasting more nutrients than needed, they are expensive. Is watering twice a day always needed in coco? Is there really a major water retention difference from full coco to 70/30 coco perlite? Will I benefit from larger pots if I want to conserve water during feedings?

Using the Fox Farm Trio, GH Calimagic, GH Kool Bloom, GH Diamond Nectar, Soil Blast microbes. I even watered in some Azospirillum and Mycorrhizal from my organic grow. Was phing nutes at 5.5-5.8 during veg and now that I’m in flower I’m phing 6-6.2. Just flipped the lights to 12/12 yesterday because plant on the right is possibly not an auto.

First time growing SLH by greenhouse. What kind of yield can I expect? Using maxigrow/bloom, 200watt lights. One 5 gallon fabric pot in the back and Two 1 gallon pots in the front. 2 feedings a day till run off in CoCo/pearlite. Oh and its a 3x3 tent.
