MAJORGLORY Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) I already have 6 10 litre buckets How long you planing on vegging for bro? A good rule of thumb in coco is a weeks veg per litre. You'd be better busting the pots size down considerably mate!

I rooted some clones fine straight into coco using paper cups and a prop, took 17 days to root in nicely to the cup which compares nicely with my aero prop which takes 12 days to clone and 5 days to transplant into coco. Would never use rockwool for Coco clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest p&q Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Ive always used 1" rockwool cubes for my clones. They,ve been in nft / compost & coco with no problems. p&q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaaboot Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Depending on your area, you wont need PH up just down. You should be able to find Growers Ark boost (got mine online), I did without the first feed, and used formulex for one week ten started feeding low doses of Grow. You may need something like rhizotonic or regen-a-root to use after pot ups - this will help give the roots a dose to keep them strong. Jiffy pellets, or rockwool cubes, or root riots, they will all work, root riots are probably easiest and work well with coco from what I have seen. With the rockwool you will have to PH, and add nutes etc..., the pellets are messy, the riots are redy to go, push the cuttings in and wait to take root I would say your set to go though Z Edited December 28, 2009 by zaaboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
