Hello.. Hope you are well.. Yes u can mix coco with soil.. Most quality soils will already av coco premixed in.. If extra air u wanted around ur root system then perlite is ur best option tbh.. If u use coco/soil mix just remember ur feeding will change slightly due to not as much pre energy that ur soil contains.. Stay safe n gud luck with ur garden.. 👍🍀

I have mixed soil and coco 50/50 with great success. You will need to water more frequently though.

I heard that perlite spreads some unhealthy dusty thing and it sticks to buds,I'm staying away from it.only using coco. I would mix them together and set the ph to somewhere between 6.0-6.4 and you'll be safe.

Coco holes less water / more air than soil, so it would have that impact.
Perlite or hydroton may be better for what you want? Either way, you'll have to water slightly more depending on the proportion of coco or anything else added with tose properties.
Coco can become compacted like soil, so add something like perlite or hydroton to create air gapes and improve drainage which also helps avoid compacting substrate a bit as you water over 3+ months.

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant?
It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better.
Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode.
I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more.

EC and PH of Runoff is Higher than SolutionI'm putting a full nutrients indication in all watering since beginning of flowering. And I was suspecting it was too much, so I decided to measure the runoff of the plant. And the measuremet was:
PH - in: 5.88 -> out: 6.76
EC - in: 1.15 -> out: 1.27
And now? what this mean?Week 9
