Sloooow, this is a good case study for “when autoflowers go wrong”
Small size is due to a cock up at the start of their very short and unpredictable lives. what happened?
• I added 600ppm of Calcium oxide... note to self - never do that again.
• I also been overwatering, even if it is impossible to overwater coco my tests suggest from seedling stage it is possible...
• Roots need time to develop, they need that wet/dry cycle even if it is for a few weeks to a month. I have seen better results when treating the 100% coco like soil almost.
I’m going to keep them alive and try to pull something off this run but I’m not expecting miracles at this stage.🙏✌️
@PharmaZ, you've given me a heart attack reading that. Hopefully I can get this right just worried about ec levels. They seem to low. So will the coco hold onto the Organic nutrients longer than the other nutrients? Will avoid watering everyday and just when it needs it
@OrganicNature420, yeees, Big mistake. This grow is killing me😂
But I have learned some things from my mistakes...
If you are going to grow in coco with Green Buzz do not water them everyday as seedlings they don’t need it. The organic nutrients PH shifts upwards over time... so you basically feed at 5.8-6.0 after a few days the PH in the Coco rises which is good thing and more natural than having a fixed Ph or rapid Ph fluctuation.
I add Calmag 0.4ec still this buffers the water so when you add the other nutrients you don’t get rapid PH swings in the solution either.
It’s not the same as using chemical/salt based nutrient in coco as they need to be continuously flushed and also with the chemical nutrients there isn’t the same organic/microbe synergy.
Some things to think about 🤔 😃
Ps: I’ve watered the seedlings everyday and transplanted them that’s why this grow is fucked up, in the past I grew them like soil until they were big and needed that everyday feeding :)
