H3ad goes Coco

[Grat3fulh3ad]

starting at 6.8 your ph is gonna be close to 5.8 when you mix in nutes... between 5.7 and 6 I wouldn't worry too much.

H3ad, or anyone that may know...

Would adding 1 teaspoon of KoolBLoom to the 6/9 formula at 4-7 weeks of flowering burn the plants?

 

[Grat3fulh3ad]

I doubt it would, but can't say for sure... If you use it, let us know your results...
side by side would be fun... one kb'd one not...

 

[whodi]

Will do.

Thanks for the info guys, think I will pick up the cal mag just incase, cause I'm having some brown spots right now, lol. Still in ffof right now, but not for long.

I love Coco!!!! I just did a side by side with 2 of my GDP in the soil I had been using and 2 put in Ready Gro Coco and damn!!!!




Coco ladies on the left look how much bigger they are and were flowered at the same height!

Do you plan to add the kb first and then subtract those ppm's from the micro and bloom? For example, after adding Kool Bloom you might end up going with 4ml micro and 6 ml bloom per gal?
That's the way I'm trying it, adding Big Bud. Appreciate feedback.

High h3ad! Just wanted to say that when im done reading 20+ pages ill say more...lol.
Ive always been a hydro/Aero guy but have been loving this coco thanks to the Postman. Which, he of course got good knowlege from you, and shared with me..lol. I have a lil side-by-side going with coco vs aero in my chemdog thread atm, but thats neither here nor there...lol.
Your thread has been very helpful so far and I just found it..lol. I would like to ask you a few more questions if you dont mind. Ill wait till im done reading, of course, as to avoid repetiveness...lol. I am curently creating an entire room for coco...lol, and I really dont even know what im doing! Just seems like I cant go wrong with this stuff...lol!
Peace and thanks, bugout

 

[one Q]

Head, Lucas mentions that ppl should use a lesser, 5/10, ratio for "low light." So I wonder if this may be the case for yours as well. Could there be a need to use a bit less for ppl using CFLs or 250s?

And if I may, what size light do you use, Im sure it's a lot since you breed.

using the gh 3 part flora series calculator at 5ml grow, 5ml micro an 12ml bloom. I get a profile of
NN AN UN P K Ca Mg S Fe Mn Zn Cu B Mo Co
87 8 0 81 185 67 54 72 1.5 0.6 0.1 0.1 0 0.01 0
Total PPM 555
this is pretty close to the lucas formula of n100-p100-k200-mg60, but will it work for coco? Also is this an every watering formula?

800 watts veg and 2600 watts flowering.

Head I have gone coco and Lucas now! Between your thread and my buddies insistence on Coco, as I have alwasy used LF. So far I have all my Chem Double D and my Double Strawberry D in it as of now in my veg side, and I must say I am impressed so far. Thanks for the great read.

Just over a week in with coco and wow, cannot believe the amount of roots on the outside bottom of the pot. Thanks for the kick ass informative thread!

 

[gdawg]

hey head ive been on your gh formula a lil over a weeek now and the results are great. everything is even lookin better, no more pbp for me, ill be stockin up on the gh this week. got a q though ever use the diamond nectar? my buddy gave me a gallon of that stuff along with the gh nutes. so far i havent had to adjust my ph, havent even checked it, both my meters are untrusty lil bitches but my plants are saying everythings fine.

 

[sirshamus]

quick question....what is the best technique for transplanting when there are roots growing on the outside bottom of the pot, i mean the whole bottom is covered, roots everywhere. do you just pull out the rootball or cut it. any info is appreciated.

great thread, if i ever stop using flora nova i'll be sure to try this

so i recently finished a run with heads formula. i used 1/2 gal grow bags, vegged for 2wks under a 600w hps. i had 3 plants total hand watered. two plants were .8oz dry on my cheap kitchen scale and another 1oz dry. i wish i had a better scale but here is a pic to show yall my results with heads formula. i think i did pretty well for 1/2 gal bags. but im not gonna use heads formula for the next run. im using FNB & FNG and other additives. then after that im gonna do a run with the house & garden line. hey im relativity a noob gotta see what works best for me as far as nutes. one thing i do know is im loving coco especially if i can get this much outta 1/2 gal bags

 

[sirshamus]

that looks really nice, congrats

 

[straight reggie]

thanks sirshamus

hey head im just lovin how my girls are lookin. i added some diamond nectar at 1/2 ml per gallon in this rez but i didnt like how it jacked up my ppms. im not gonna use it again unless i see some huge difference. i stuck my meter in the other day just for shits and giggles...6.0 hmmm can it be trusted?
