Apple Blossom/Nap Time in 2x4

@kansasscott725, I'm just hang feeding, no reservoir. I didn't know anything about it other than Dr. Coco suggested it as a surfactant replacement for SM90. Would it be useful in a CalMag foliar mix that would be sprayed? You're right on, I've been pretty much following the cocoforcannabis blueprint. I wanted something I could follow beginning to end for my first time, instead of trying to amalgamate all the youtube and podcast info I was absorbing into a Frankenstein of my own. I've seen a lot of people using the Cocos A&B that you're using, and I've since heard a lot of bad things about general hydroponics corporate overlords. I'll be looking to switch things up next grow or when the nutes run out. Seeing that your feeding EC is so high and my plants are showing some deficiencies, I'm wondering if I'm being too conservative and that's what led to the damage. Definitely your results are showing that you have things dialed in.

@Paulbearer1891, Glad to see things are turning around. With 80% runoff, makes sense the numbers were so low, you were essentially flushing everytime you fed. Your EC will fluctuate. So long as your Runoff is no more than 200 points higher, you're good. Question: Do you have a reservoir or are you manually mixing in gallon jugs, then pouring? I only ask because Yucca is only necessary for reservoirs. Your feeding line reminds me of the cocoforcannabis high frequency fertigation chart. I based my whole grow on those methods, but I added in the House & Garden nutrient line. My starting EC can get to almost 2.02 but when you feed in coco multiple times a day, the heavy nutes are freshly administered, and the girls will continue to thrive. Change its feeding from a lot to a little or add in sudden variables...that's when you'll run into issues.

@kansasscott725, Thanks for taking a look. I'm using the same meter to measure EC and making sure its in the same mode. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll do that for the next watering. I also have some 1 gallon fabric transplanted pots coming tomorrow so hopefully a transplant will help. More roots are showing at the bottom so I think we're about good to move them. Your advice is much appreciated, enjoy your weekend.

@Paulbearer1891, Yes. His chart is 1000% for High Frequency Fertigation. Last year it took me nearly 3 months to get in veg what I had in 3 weeks this time around. I always love the beginning and then I'm ridiculously exhausted by the end. Never ever again will I grow multiple plants (especially different strains) with high frequency fertigation. But I never missed a day and have made this far so why stop now. Next time, I'm going to grow just one Girl Scout Cookie and find the right feed for it ( seemed to like GH Floral line ). My hope is to stretch to fill my entire 4x5 space. With one plant, I'll really be able trust the auto timer for feeding as it should be relatively the same every day. After that, I think it's DWC time. I'm loving your grow. Now that you're feeding twice a day, just stick to the plan. If ya need help setting up auto system like Doc has on his page with the auto draining saucers, just follow the script. Best investment I ever made. I just 🔌 the sub pump in and unplug 5 minutes later and voila! That's it. Every few days, I dump the drainage bucket that sits outside the tent. Makes watering multiple times per day a piece of cake.

@kansasscott725, Right on, my inconsistency is my biggest issue. And I think Dr. Coco's nute schedule is more for a higher frequency watering then I've been doing. I'll make those adjustments you recommend. I've also moved up to his late Veg mix the past few days, which brings the base levels up some (2.5/2.5/1.2) but I hadn't ever considered the proportion of base nutes to supplements, thanks for pointing that out. I have to keep an eye on the important stuff, and not that CalMag isn't, but I've clearly had something going on with N/P/K being low. Looking at what I've just posted, I don't think I did it justice with how bad some of the older fan leaves got damaged. And I've definitely got the lights cranked at 100% these days, I was scared I was burning them earlier but they seem to like light! Who'd have thought? Thanks as always for your help. Edit-and I've been watering twice a day now, no matter what. But I add the water slower and in intervals so I'm approaching the runoff point with better control. Before I was dousing until suddenly a ton of runoff would be pouring out, until it was 40-50% of inflow. Its a learning experience for sure!

@Paulbearer1891 Thanks Brochacho,

@kansasscott725, Thanks, I appreciate it. You've got some beautiful plants and an awesome setup!
