GMSgrowsanswered grow question 3 years ago In coco, ph needs to be 5.5 to 6.0 with 5.8 being the best for very cycle. From sprout, you can feed at 400 ppm 0.8 ec and increase by 100 ppm 0.2 ec if you see good growth every week until you reach 800 ppm for photos, and if their autos, you stop at 600 ppm.
