Athosanswered grow question 6 years ago For growing in coco you will need am EC / PPM meter (a cheap one will do), else you will have a lot of trouble dialing in the feedings. what you want to do is start feeding right away, focusing on cal / mag on the beginning, around 0.5 EC worth of it (asuming you start with RO water, it should be around 1 ml per liter), or if your tap water is close to 0.5 EC, then don't feed anything. After 10 to 14 days or so (depends on how fast your plants grows), you can start adding growth nutes. Keep in mind that during veg the EC should stay between 0.5 and 1.0 EC. One you get to the preflwoer stretch up it slowly to 1.2 to 1.4 EC; once flowering starts, you can use an EC ranging from 1.4 to 1.8 EC. This are general values, your milleage may vary. Also, when increasing the EC, I would use increases in feed strength of no more than 20%. TIP: Screw led bulbs worth 3 to 4 times better than samw wattage CFL; you might want to check my diaries since I use them,
