Hello,

i've been looking around extensively but i've not been able to find any info about this.

Which is the best way to water coco in your opinions?

Please compile this:

How often?
How much?
Specs of the water?
How big pots?
PPM/uS/EC in?
Ph in?
PPM/uS/EC out?
Ph out?
Any notes?


I post mine:

- How often?

On a daily basis

- How much?

I give 1 liter to my single plant.

- Specs of the water

Sometimes RO water 30 [email protected] ph, lowered @5.2 ph, sometimes i mix water with tap water up to reach 170 ppm.

Previous i used my rock hard water @ 300 ppm

- How big pots?

around 25 liters

- PPM/uS/EC in?

usually 800-1000 ppm

- Ph in?

5.8-6.2, min 5.4, max 6.7

- PPM/uS/EC out?

Around 20% less, 580-800

- Ph out?

the same, sometimes a bit higher, max 0.5 more than in

- Any notes?

I wait to water till some of the top coc start to dry, like when they change color

If you do like me, and automatically top feed 4x per day(How often?), with plenty of run off(How much?), using 5.8pHed and 1.8ec water(Specs of the water?), and use a recirculating system, you only have to check your reservoir to know the pH and ec of all your containers.

don't move your pH faster than .5 /day

I've been using this regiment and it has been working great for me, I just run a dripper for 15 minutes, 4 times during the day cycle only. There's lots of run off but it works great and its my first shot at coco. They really seem to like it alot.
