Since going coco ive been using the Plant Magic nutes and their great very rarely need to use the ph down.

Good to find a section on a forum for the PM range too

Cheers

Don't know if plant magic is still monitoring these but I gave the coco a+b a go and here's my issues.

It takes 50% more plant magic feed to reach a given ec than it does of canna coco feed, making plant magic much less value for money.

When added to water with a 0 ec, plant magic will read 4.3 pH(way off) at 1.5 EC, and canna will read 5.6(spot on). Sure all I've got to do is add a load of pH up but it leaves non beneficial chemicals in the nutrient solution which I'd rather avoid

I'm not trying to stick my head up cannas arse, I would rather support a UK company if the product was as good. This is just constructive criticism.

to be fair mate, plant magic have specified that this nutrient is made especially for uk water, not RO water. uk tap water is much harder than european water, so the ph buffer level is low. so really this is down to you misusing the nutes

So are you saying pm coco sw range and RO water will give you problems? Not feeling adding untold amounts of ph up.

After 3 cycles using pm coco with a familiar clone and environment,
I feel qualified to say there are some serious issues with this nutrient.I'd go further and say they're utterly useless.

Disgusted with the after sales i got,and at myself for sucumbing to 420 hype.

Would be happy to discuss this with any growers who beg to differ.Although i'd insist they had first hand experience of this nute, and it's comparison to others-in a tried and tested grow environment.

I would also have to agree that, while I wouldn't go as far as to say "useless" (they will keep the plant in pretty good general health through veg) the coco nutes seriously need sorting out.

Not only are we buying 2 separate formulas which, if you look at the bottle before you buy (something I shouldn't feel I needed to do or end up feeling like an idiot in retrospect) you will see that the two formulas are identical except for a tiny amount of Phosphorus.

In other words you'd be better served buying a 5L bottle of coco bloom and using it right through the grow, than buying to separate 1L packs of veg and bloom for pretty much the same price for 2L.

I switched over to PM simply because I didn't like the luminous orange colouring of the hesi nutes. No other reason, because they were good nutes. I heard about the high quality ingredients etc and know they're a uk company, so it was a no brainer for me.

I've got to say, having used their product, and having looked at them side by side, and then having used the bloom formula in veg to confirm what I already knew, I'm disappointed and I'd very much appreciate some short and quick reply from someone to explain that at the very least this issue, and it is definitely an issue, will be looked at.

Hello Plant Majic Plus.

I have been using your coco formula and so far im very happy with the results.

I wanted to know if there would be any issues using this with Canna COGR coco boards?

My mind says their should be no problem but Canna say you must use their dedicated COGR feed which i am reluctant to use due to bad press with their nutes in general and also that i get on well with PM+.

Canna mention something about the buffering solution causes a compound of cal and mag attach to the coco. This bit i'm not sure of and don't have the knowledge to understand it fully but this is whats making me think their may be an issue and that might be why they say use the COGR feed. But then also, their bound to say that anyway aren't they?

Any info would help me descide on my next steps.

Just noticed PM hasn't been on 420 for nearly 2 months. Looks like i'm pissing in the wind a tad

hello mate your doing well to get your water down to 5.8 without acid or such,
every nutrient i used in coco always had to come down loads as my water
is around 7.0. saying that i never used PM then, but pretty much
tried everything else.

coverking PM's hard water coco nutrient ph'es down and stabilises the ph, its not exact but pretty good, its not mentioned much but thats why marley has not had a problem.

thanks 0T1 i wish i had have tried PM sooner mate!
been around the houses with nutes trial and error.
im at the end of my last coco run now and can say
im an organic man now ive only vegged so far
my plants love the PM compost and OT grow, ive yet
to use the bloom but looking forward to it
and thanks for making my life easy with it fairplay to ya bro

hi plant magic ,

you say .?

'"
As this has been designed for the UK water supply less ph adjustment is needed. Phosphoric acid in any means of consumption is not good, so the less adjustment the better. dose this apply to all the nutrient range..?



is there a formula for southern spain,..? the waters are very different down here, in the deep south .
