Pursies Coco plan

[Pursie]

Gidday all

Well decided to move from DWC to Coco, Spent a few+ hours everyday of this week and most of last week seriously reading up on coco. Seems ideal for my needs.

I've transfered some seedlings into 1 litre pots of coco/perlite 60/40, feeding 1/2 strength super seaweed extract, worm juice. so far they are going well.

I just got some nutrients today but cant seem to find any feedback etc from peeps using this range. Its from NULIFE - Coco a&b, got the veg one at present.

I dont have much choice for coco nutrients here, it was a toss up between the NUlife range or Canadian Express range. Didnt go CEx cause my mate just got some and we will see which nutes perform better. Cant source Canna here

Looking at majority hand feeding daily 1/day upto 2/day max. Will add a drip for if a when i'm away for a weekend. Got the pumps etc so i guess why not .


I have 700x900mm tray but am unsure which size pots to use in it, heard that the size of pots determines watering frequency?


250w veg, 400w bloom. Thinking of using canna schedule but nulife nutes as nulife dont have a schedule as such.

I think i've got the measuring of runoff for e.c and ph sorted.

Any great ideas or suggestions please fire em through on this thread.

Well, obviously, smaller pots will dry out quicker so you would probably need to water more often.
That said,,,,, a big healthy plant in a big pot can drink amazingly fast.
Your best bet is just to play it by ear and adjust your watering schedule to suit.

Dont worry about run-off.
If you're planning a recirculating system then see to it your resevoir is the correct ph and EC.
If you're handwatering just insure what goes in is correct. The coco will sort itself out

As for nutrient "schedules",,,,i dont believe in them.
Each strain is different. What might be good for one strain can be the kiss of death for another.

Thanks stiky buds, Ive just had a kiss of death!, so back to basic for me. Run to waste, hand water.

-VT- Tag along mate, the more i read the more i like coco, hopefully with a good 1st coco grw will bring better fantastic grws down the track.
