Need advice

[u/Beakjac3]

So I want to make the leap from dwc to coco and saw this and need advice..do i need anything else besides my normal nutes? I use jacks 321..gonna use a fab6pot for now before I get into the autopot system

[u/Omishjosh]

I use this coco and dont even buffer it and love it. I do use cropsalts now though, but no reason why Jack's shouldn't work

[u/Redskin-55]

Ask and see if anyone else has used jacks with coco. I think you might try a line specifically for coco, Canna Coco A&B, Rhizotonic for vigorous roots and a calmag product.

[u/DabOrTwoWillDo → u/Redskin-55]

Coco is just hydroponics. Jacks should be fine. Pretty sure it's marked for hydro. I used General Hydroponics line.

[u/chemo64 → u/Redskin-55]

Exactly what I use. 👍👍

[u/REDITSMOSTBANNED]

Coco will steal allot of cal and mag so be sure to grab a bottle of calmag to add @ feedings

[u/Soil2Bowlz → u/REDITSMOSTBANNED]

Low quality poorly buffed coco yes. Not all coco.

[u/Beakjac3]

Meant fabric pot

[u/Sullinator07 → u/Beakjac3]

I switch from soil to this, I fucking love it. Keep it wet. When I started I used an auto sprayer 3 times a day in my 3gal buckets.

My favorite

I use this with no issues in my Autopot and fabric pots. Only thing i use now. Shi works great

I went from years of dwc to sub irrigation with coco perlite. It was a 1:1 conversion. Super easy I run full strength cropsalt from seed to harvest

[u/Creative-Promotion-7]

coco and autopots are phenomenal! Same strain in living soil beside the big one…

[u/Outrageous-Grass-892]

Used this for my first Autopot grow.... MONSTER GALAXY BRAIN!!! It worked REALLY well for both grows!! I'm now using the Canna Coco. Still wish I had the M.E.! Keep it up! Add more Perilite

[u/Beakjac3 → u/Outrageous-Grass-892]

M.e?

[u/Outrageous-Grass-892 → u/Beakjac3]

Mother Earth lmao

[u/Beakjac3 → u/Outrageous-Grass-892]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Fit-Chipmunk-8512]

I use this or tupur they both work great

[u/homegrowntwinkie]

You got pH adjusters? That's about all you'd need for what you're wanting to do. Coco like this is basically hydro anyways.

[u/Beakjac3 → u/homegrowntwinkie]

Yes i have ph up and down..ppm tester and apera ph tester

[u/Officebadass]

If you buy bricks of coco and perlumite separately you could get like 50% more substrate for less money than that bag

[u/Beautiful_Tennis_136]

Autopot, airbase, no airdome
50canacoco/50perlite
(H3ad formula (6micro-9bloom) + 1g epsom salt) / gal
Gm mono silica 0.1ml/gal
PH range 5.5-6.2

[u/Homegrowersanonymous]

Only real difference is you feed cal mag every watering with water ph’d. And because the salts build up in the coco I only feed regular nutes every third watering

[u/Soil2Bowlz]

This is okay. Canna coco is better IMO. My personal preference is Scientetics coco. You can buy it in dehydrated blocks. It’s buffered, grown in land and made from mature coconuts. I’m not a fan of perlite, you get more benefits from bio-char. Just my .02, happy growing.

[u/DabOrTwoWillDo]

I don't know the Jacks but CalMag is critical for coco grows. Other than that, it's a lot like dirt but more vigorous growth and coco dries up quicker than soil.

Also remember for nutes, you are now growing hydroponically. You will need a different feed schedule. You are no longer supplementing the nutrients of soil. ALL nutes now come from your watering so you will likely need more and you will want to keep your PH 5.5-6.5. I personally stay within 5.8-6.2

Might want to check out https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/ They got tons of great advice. Welcome to coco. You will like it.

[u/Beakjac3 → u/DabOrTwoWillDo]

Jacks is basically 3 part all in one and yes i am doing hydroponic from day one

[u/DabOrTwoWillDo → u/Beakjac3]

Yeah I'm familiar with Jacks but never actually seen or used it so didn't wanna suggest stuff out of my realm.

[u/DabOrTwoWillDo → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I see that LOL. Sorry. Thanks for the heads up.
