Mr_Juice ……during the last 3 growths, I worked to mix the best foundation. I think I succeeded 😊
…..it is a mix of coconut, light mix of biobizz and organic nutrients that I tried to harmonize into the best that I can provide to the plants in my modest conditions. How? simply by observing all the growths and looking for the right setting, creating nature in the growing room.

Mr_Juice ……. I water with the 1-0-0 system, that is, every third watering is with nutrients. I water every third day. Guanocalong nutrients were used in the ground before planting, so I don't need to use high doses of fertilizers - on the contrary, very small amounts. EC is difficult to measure because of the nutrients in the soil otherwise it only serves as additional information.
……. the light intensity is still at 60%, I don't feel the need to increase it, and the distance from the plants is about 26cm

Mr_Juice I'm satisfied with the growth. They stretch a lot, but it should be 50/50 sativa/indica…..but I don't see a problem with that, I still have enough room. I'm still looking for the reason for the higher pH flow-7.2-7.3...everyone has a different opinion about it...there are no problems, I just want to understand...but despite the fact that they are growing incredibly well in 3l pots
-i ❤️spanish seeds bank,i ❤️ anesia.thanx Javi
-I also asked the guys from plagron about the problem with ph, because I do everything the same as last growth, only I added their calmag pro:
Calmag is rich in not only calcium and magnesium but also nitrogen. Often growers use a low EC because they're afraid of overfeeding, resulting in an imbalance of nutrient uptake. Certain ions would be easily taken up by the plant while others remain behind. Simply having a low EC could be that your plant is heavily taking up elements that drive runoff pH down.
Calcium itself has a buffering ability, but Calmag Pro has a lower pH level. So I do not think that calmag alone is increasing the runoff pH. I think it could be due to imbalanced feeding, as this is what we see the most.
Runoff pH can also increase/decrease due to fungal/bacterial dominance.
@Mr_Juice, here's a mini-tutorial that I've also posted on my profile
Let's see if that could be the reason for the high pH in your pot!

Mini-Tutorial Using Coco / Coco Bricks in Substrate (Soil)
I found out a while ago that coco bricks are not pre-buffered (with the pH adjusted)... and I was putting the coco in my substrate with a very high pH!
So you have two options to add coco to your substrate
Two options:
1. Buy pre-buffered coco in bags from a trusted brand:
- PRO-MIX CX: https://www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-cx/
- PLAGRON Premium Coco: https://plagron.com/en/hobby/products/cocos-premium
- BIOBIZZ CocoMix: https://www.biobizz.com/producto/cocomix/
2. Buy your coco bricks, and follow this guide that the great grower @Hydro_Hiebs explained to me for using coco bricks
The process with the coco brick involves soaking the brick in tap water.
After total saturation, start rinsing the coco fiber with any type of strainer to remove the dust.
Then place the coco fiber in a fabric pot.
After that, prepare a calcium and magnesium (Cal-Mag) solution at 150% of the recommended dosage.
Then, soak the fabric pot filled with coco fiber in the solution for 24 hours.
Repeat this soaking process with the calcium and magnesium (Cal-Mag) solution at 150% of the recommended dosage
In total: two times, with a new solution.
This is work, and it's easier to get pre-buffered coco fiber bags.
