I could use a little advice from experienced Coco Growers. I have recently begun using Coco for my clones as they come ready. I am vegging them until they go to new homes or I flower them. I had previously used FFOF soil which is good, but I like the idea of more control over feeding with Coco as well as the ease in going to DWC if I choose. I am using Canna Coco A and B with my Tap water which is 200 ppm. Is this all my plants will need? Should I get the CalMag? It seems that the use of tap water should satisfy the CalMag issues? What ppm and PH are folk usualy running with Coco from Clone to Finish? How often are folks reusing runoff? Any help would be appreciated. Here is a nice Purple X Skunk that I just Harvested in soil...

Taps at 200ppm, should be fine, no need for cal-mag plus.
pH: 6.5-5.5, I try to shoot for 6.1 in veg, 5.8 in bloom... But pH has never really been a problem in coco, atleast for me. Ive even fed a [email protected] for a week and had no ill effects(don't recommend doing it tho, DUH!! lol).
as far as ppms havnt check that in months,I dont bother just go by the Canna regiment.
never reused my runoff, thats a question for the people running rec rez

Nice looking bud too
good luck dude...
Peace and Love

My tap water is 380ppm and I use no cal-mag additives. My nutrients are Fox Farm's Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom used per their feeding schedule. I water my plants every other day to 10-15% runoff. Couldn't tell you about reusing the runoff as I consider it garbage and feed it to the lawn. I can tell you that my runoff ppm is well over 2400 and the ppm of the water going in is about 1400-1600 ppm so I wouldn't consider reusing for fear of burning them up.

My water is about 120ppm and I max out around 1800ppm in full bloom with botanicare's line. I run 5.8-6.0 ph in coco and also feed every watering. I use a flood/wick type system to water. I put small clones through this and have had no problems..
