Coco Coir Nutrient Dosage ?
Seldom_Seenstarted grow question 10 months ago
This is my first grow using Coco Coir. When growing autoflowers in soil I have always halved or quartered the manufactures recommended dosage of nutrients. Should I also lower the recommended dosage of nutrients when growing autoflowers in Coco ?

Autoflowers require half dose or less for all medium. They are very light feeders compared to photoperiods.

I agree, 1;2 strength feeds and add in some CaMg on every feed or every other feed. The coir when it breaks down steals the calcium and magnesium and release extra potassium and sodium. You can buffer coir or buy prebuffered coir so it does not do this as much but its always degrading and releasing more and more.
Good Luck!

Watering with natural spring water?Since I am growing with 50% coco/50% Perlite PH of water should be between 6.0 and 6.5. I hate to measure PH so I have found a very super cheap still water SASKIA which has PH of 6.2. Is that possible to grow with natural spring water? Any risk? See ingridients on the picture.

EC of water for organic soilWhich EC of water should be for organic soil? I checked a lot of sites and there is information only for hydro or coco...
My tapwater is 0.4 EC ... Is it ok? Or I should add cal-mag every time to increase it?
Is it important to check EC of runoff?
Thanks!Week 2
