Hi there, the grow set up is looking nice! I really like growing in coco so I can try to lend a hand. When you are growing in coco, you always want to add Cal-Mag in addition to your base nutrients. Coco will bind to calcium and magnesium (due to its cation exchange properties) leaving it unavailable for the plant to use and creating deficiencies if extra is not fed into the grow medium. Because of this, i add 3-5ml of calimagic, or .5ec of any other Cal mag nutrient, before adding my base nutrients and other goodies. The other property of coco to pay attention to is that it should always be wet, and never left to dry like with soil. I water 6x per day with an auto water setup, but you can get fine results hand watering 1x per day (or every few days with large pots or depending on added perlite). Properly controlling those two properties really lets coco become a great growing medium, which is why I love it! I hope this helps, happy growing! 🌱👍

@Vinny1Ternova, 5 gallons can be good for big plants if you're only feeding once a day, but in coco you can get really big plants with smaller pots as well. I'm currently running 2.5 gallon containers at 5 feedings per day, and my autos are way bigger than when I grew them in 5 gallon soil pots. I feed every watering, and I keep the feed between 1ec and 1.3ec depending on the plant stage once veg begins. I reduce the extra Cal mag later in flower to make room for bloom boosters, as I've found when I get above 1.3ec my plants start risking burnt tips. Your plants look nice and healthy at 1.6ec though, so don't feel like you have to reduce the feed. The amount of water you are going through seems about right, I aim to have about 20 percent come through as runoff so as long as Your plants are looking very nice for their growth stage and are about to get really huge!🌲

Thanks. Had a few issues trying a few pots with coco and the others with soil which takes of a lot sooner than the coco which I expected the opposite but will take it as it grows.
