Small Coco Grow

[stretchpuppy]

Dear ICMAG,

Here are the goods for this go-round:





6 VBSxAK47
9 Spacequeen
9 MMM
4 Marmalade

I used 2 bricks of the sunleaves coco to make the original mix, and added the guanos. I needed slightly more medium to fill the pots so I added about a half gallon of a soil/hydrotron mix I made a few months back. I'm not going to veg long at all with these seedlings, maybe 2 weeks before flowering.

Right now on water and superthrive.

I just broke open some coco too.





and added it to my pots. I didn't add anything to it. Maybe I should have? Im planning on grabbing some canna coco nutes myself. Seems like the best way to go.

peace

im leaning to coco coir mix for my next grow...I would go bale myself instead of having to rip up blocks....so does coir need special nutes?

 

[LavenderCowboy]

Better choose the good coir...Cheap coir should be washed/rinsed severl times to remove the salt that's in the coir.....LC

The bricks didn't turn out too bad really. The sunleaves brick is good stuff- a little higher quality then the one shown in the picture above. I'm still looking for the bales at local shops though.

I used the Sunleaves Coir for my last/current mix. I did rinse really well to make sure I did not have a salt problem. I figured it was better save than sorry. The rinsing also helped to get rid of some of the super fine coir that was in the bale. I would like to check out some of the other brands though.

Day 40 - 13/11 from seed

Just transplanted 16 girls into 1 gallon grow bags. Local hydro guy didn't have the nicer coco so I went with Promix HP this round.

I like coco, I've used it before and now I'm back to soil mixes.
If your using coco then DEFINATELY use a nutrient that is designed for coco like Canna lineup.
I've tried to tailor a mix that would be of the water it and forget it type but to no avail, nutes need to be introduced over time as a loaded mix breaks down too quickly and overferts the plants.
Coco is NOTHING like soil, the food web is completely different, it's break down and nutrient balance is completely different.

I mixed in some sunshinemix to my coco and i'm having good results so far. Feeding them different types of nutes from organics to hydro. They seem to take it all at full dose with no signs of stress.
