Arthur Mix Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I don’t suggest any diary that’s for you to find as you know your space . You click on the user that gave advice then go look at the section that’s posted by them there’s an option for threads started or last posts . I’m sure you have seen diaries in coco with similar set ups , so find that user and look on their profile page . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off at times but accept each person has an opinion but what's right and wrong I dint know. I did a lot research into NER and its best to mix the right formula and then dillute ti the ec than reduce the recommended guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Mix Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If you keep all your issues in your diary you may find more help forthcoming , rather than several posts in threads that you not start , even I thought you started this thread but seems not makes it easier to see what’s happening in your own diary , you can always @ a member to maybe get them to look in also .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up You definitely need to feed more often. Coco is not like compost, it should always be wet. When it dries the nutrients turn back into salts in the medium and this causes all sorts of problems. The plants will take nutrients and water separately at different speeds, this results in the solution in pots becoming imbalanced. Feeding more often with a 10-20% runoff refreshes the solution within the pots and takes it back to the levels you mixed it up at, I would say once a day is a minimum. I recommend using some sort of automated system with coco. Hand watering does work (I've done it many times myself back in the day) but it's far from ideal and is very labour intensive. Run to waste dripper systems are very easy and cheap to build yourself and are worth their weight in gold. In regards to measuring run off, I try to catch it directly from one of the pots as the salts in the tray may give inaccurate readings. I also wouldnt use a syringe that is used to dose nutrients as this might throw off the readings too. I use a plastic shot glass myself, and simply hold one of the pots above it when they are feeding Edited November 1, 2020 by BushDoctoR typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
