Autopots with think different in ecothrive lite coco

[Rustynutz]

that's a great idea with the fan bro also on this grow my plants have been top-fed twice but I'm going to try pure coco this next go around I've also started airdomes on the last one and i didn't see any benefit from that so back to basics soon

Read about a few people say airdomes do nothing really so I didn't bother.. Also when I flush this plant tonight should I be checking ppm of run off?

nowt really worries me bro if there on the res it stays on and i think i must be on my 30th round with them but your look good from here

whats your take on if the nute company has it in there feeding chart mine says add 0.5-1.0 ml right up till week 6-7

The first consideration is your source water. Look and see how much calcium is there. I have seen tap water with too much calcium right out of the faucet. the range is 80-140 mg/L

Then the type of media you are running:

Soil probably has some lime or dolomite lime in the formula - you will need no extra Cal-mag.

Coco is a needy substrate. Use nutrient lines for Coco and you should not add extra Cal-Mag. Using other nutrients your coco should have been washed and precharged then 50 PPM of Calcium, Magnesium and a bit of iron just for the coco every fertigation. Then feed according to the vendor instructions. If the vendor says to add it - it may mean they don't put it in the base nutes. Read the Guaranteed Analysis.

Hydro is formula based and the calcium should be in the range of 80-140 PPM/L

Plain water or weakened solution?

When a problem is serious a full water only flush is in order. This wreaks havoc on your root biome and is reserved for a last ditch effort. When you have a small nutrient correction to make it is better to do a "Nutrient Flush" slowly over several fertigations. This is much kinder to the root biome and the plant will respond better.

Minor adjustment!

Minor adjustment!

OK thanks a lot for your help means a lot

Plain water or weakened solution?

plain water. You are getting all of the coco "purged" of all nute so just use plain water that you have adjusted the ph of 5.8 - 6.1. take the "pot" and set in a bath tube or sin and let the water flow over the top and freely flow out. Not sure your pot size but it it 2-3 times as many gallons as the "pot". That should do it. Then let her sit a day or more and then hand feed a different mix of nutes than you are using in the rez.

Day 33 in my little field of dreams. Happy so far explosive growth! After a moderate defoliation and little bit of leaf tucking there must be 20+ tops on each plant ready to produce some solid nugs for me.. The sick plant seems a touch better and still growing fast so I've got my fingers crossed
