@ratdog any of mine, arfs, owderbs, vrgs diarioes off the top of my head. You can always shoot questions in here if you want too ! Coco is well easy 

 

 

Nice one mate, I have some seedlings a couple of weeks old, can I wash out the compost and transplant them into coco?

Canna or intense IMO, the latter possibly being the better option and get the right kind for your tap water.

 

The website says you need to monitor ec with intense? but it says nowt about canna.

Ideally you would monitor it with both dude, an E.C stick is more imporant in coco than a pH stick IMO. You could probably wing it without one but its good to have an idea what strength you're going in at and what its coming out at .

I don't think bottom feeding is a great idea in coir, although a lot would disagree with me. Watering from the top drags in oxygen and flushes old salts from the pot, I don't think a once a week flush is adequate with bottom feeding and a lot don't even do that.

I only flush 1 week  from the chop... i find i get the same results whatever way i feed .. its also much easier for me to fill up saucers and no ag of getting rid of run off....  i am a lazy bastard tho.

No mate, not yet, I didn`t factor still the need for metering and the like, when I asked if it was just plug and play with the newer nutes I should have been more clearer lol

 

My current grow isn`t very pretty, so I`ll wait until I`ve mastered compost first, but it might be a long wait lol

Been using coco for many a year with canna nutes, bottom feeding never been a problem for me,

I've just changed my nutes to Dutch Pro a/b grow n bloom + root stim and so far I'm impressed, root mass so much better on repotting,

lol

 

Fair do`s mate,I can see where your coming from,I`ve used coco before,a while ago right enough! Thought because I still had my bluelab and a few dribbles of ph up and ph down I was ready to rumble,started a shopping list yesterday morning and come early afternoon I was £400 down lol

 

The nutrients are 5l bottles tho,so should last a while or at least till I et my head around things again. Got on fine with mud,but was getting bored with vegging just taking so long so thought it was time fr change,I did order some more soil with my coco tho just incase. haha.
