hey 👋 in no particular order: put 1 L of clay pebbles or pumice at the bottom of your pots, mix 1 L of perlite per pot into the coco, add cal-mag at each watering at the proper dose, don’t use more than 2 L of water per watering, and finally give them 1 m² or even 1.44 m² and a good tower fan for every 5 plants because you’ll need to train them ; it seems like a vigorous genotype 👍

cocoforcannabis.com -- guides and articles only... user-submitted stuff should be taken with skepticism. Great source for any grower, but soilless growing even more so. avoid forums... and most marijuana sites just regurgitate 25-50% bro science. A number of things will be stated on such sites that have no evidence to support it. It's frustrating. It's more about selling useless shit than having any integrity.

It’s important to consider the dimensions of your grow space, as you haven’t mentioned them (indoor). To use two 600W LED lights, the ideal area would be around 4.5 m². Personally, I like the pots to fit evenly in the space; I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself clearly. If you have 10 plants, one of them would end up out of place, since the ideal setup would be three rows of three, for a total of 9 plants. I usually sometimes put in a few extra plants and discard the ones I like the least during the first few weeks, then I organize the space properly. My grow tent is square-shaped, so all the pots need to fit into the square. You also need to consider if you plan to do any training, like LST.

Depending on efficacy of light, you only need ~23watts/sq ft for 18-hour light operation per day. Add up umol/s PAR production of each light and divide by 57.. that'll tell you how many sq ft you can cover with those two 600w lights. nutes are nutes.. there's no rarely much of a difference when it comes to soilless growing. I'd suggest to save money and buy in bulk dry nutes - like jacks 321 or similar. AGain, brand is mostly irrelevant if they are a professional Ag company, like JR Peters (makers of "jacks" nutrients) Mimic the ratio and overall concentration of what they instruct and it'll turn out well your first grow, almost gauranteed. Cropsalt, megacrop, kosher-something, southern ag, masterblend all have a similar 3-part 'hydro' fertilizer setup. It's not a coincidence. It's all based upon same knolwedge base as opposed to esoteric anecdotal nonsense that can't resolve such a complicated context with any consistency. More often products that promise magical things are just preying on rubes. Religiously get 10% runoff on every irrigation and fertilize every irrigation... adjust formula to what you see and within a grow or 2 you'll barely even think about what to do in regard to fertilization... it should be one of the easiest things you do. People that battle constant symptoms and issues are shooting themselves in the foot. That doesn't mean things should be perfect all the time, but it should be small, manageable hiccups that are rare in occurence. You need to adjust any basic instructions to your local variables no matter which brand you go with. Some will put you in a much better starting position with a shorter learning curve than others. e.g. i have 1 plant out of 8 that's not entirely happy with my formula (all irrigated from one reservoir). It's still one of the fastest growing plants of the bunch, despite that fact. If i were growing 1 or 2 plants i'd probably take it more seriously, but i know it'll turn out fine and hang in till the end. This formula is never far off. esoteric formulas is what creates the perception that this plant is a "picky eater." Rarely so.. and tbh, if they breed an oddball plant on purpuse, that's retarded, lol. it's an important trait to pay attention to... a plant with orthodox needs.

Yeah learn as much as possible.... Always get run off... Feed every time.... Get pH bang on or your grow will suffer...
