Experienced growers please give input
Dannostarted grow question 10 months ago
Good evening, I need to get some input from some experienced growers. I am going to be using a mixture of cococior and leca mixture in my hydroponic system, 12-10 gallon buckets with a drip irrigation system and a drain to waste disposal. Gonna be 50/50 coco/leca. Thoughts?

Sounds good! Make sure to only use House & Garden Coco-A&B at 75% strength. :) (no I don't work for them I just like there product.)

I would do more of a 70 coco 30 leca. It is purely for drainage in this case. Too much and you are taking up good rooting space for the plant. Coco is a Hydro set up in a potter. Ph will need to be 5.8 and coco needs to stay wet with heavy irrigation. Just not under a constant stream.

Hello friend
Booth mediums are quite different from itch other. I will not go in 50/50 ratio for several reasons. Its better to go 70/30 Coco/leca and use nutrients line for Coco . Perlite is also good option with Coco or Leca.

noticed the ph in the Pots is at 6.5+, something to do with the Hydroton. In order to balance it i had to drop the res PH to 4.0, but it constantly rises back up to 6. Using RO water
Suggestions appreciated, will the Hydroton eventually stop having the ability to raise my PH?Week 1

How to get PH downHi everyone
Her run off water is around PH 7.1 so I'm watering this plant with 5.8 PHed solution (biobizz and ph down). Despite of it I am not getting down the run off PH. What should I do to solve this problem?
PS - I have already flushed her with 2.5 liters of 5.8 PH water.Week 6

Outdoor ideasQuick question to any guerrilla growers: I have found an ideal location that’s good for light and hidden. But when I dig the soil down about 1ft water starts to appear, any ideas because I really don't want to have to give up the location because of it...

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :cRunoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.4 years ago
