That was the week with a lot of surprises. The first I should say, last 2 weeks I was in a business trip and my friend control the plants state by my recommendations. Unfortunately I can’t research it by a photo completely.
Arrived to home I discovered my plants are hungry. This is first time I using coco in growing. I had a lot of experience in soil and hydroponics setups but coco’s is new for me. So, a little facts about state
1. Coco should be really buffered, not a little, during transplantation I metered a solution before and after buffering. And that was 1400 and 700 ppm difference! Coco just ate half of micro elements, incapsulate it and hide inner
2. It’s better to enable the light to max value as soon as possible. I set this to 70% before a trip and you can see in photos the plants a little toll and have big distances between a stages
3. Never water coco with a still water, it’s washes and depletes coco, a plants are hungry
However, you can see the plants captured space with a roots and were done to a transplantation. I buffered a new set of coco and did it used Great White micorrize. Day after the plants wake up of stress and continue growing.
Next few weeks will be about a stress. I should fast catch up state I need. I already see a 6th stage and will do a first crop in next 3 days. 5 weeks before start a flowering because I have plans in autumn and haven’t additional time to fix everything. Will see. Stay tuned
that was a good journal! i also want to start growing with coco. do you have any advice what fertilizer i should buy based on your experience? there are so many products and im not sure. do i need sensi grow coco or is the normal fine too? what additives are good and make the real difference? when you could start over, what would you buy? maybe u can share some info, that would save me a lot of trouble. Thanks for sharing the grow!
@Seedler, first, thanks for read :) Also, right now I use must stable set of my experience and you can just buy it, that’s enough to easy and happy growing. As additional I can recommend Bio Buzz Leaf Coat to protect your plants. For a coco always use special fertilizer. These contains more nutrients, because steel water washing your coco and it can be poor. Always water your plants only with solution, never just water. And read about coco buffering before begin a growing. Usually it’s about 10 minutes reading but contains a ton of useful information
