WHEN to water coco

[M Pamplemousse]

Understand that this is coco but when I ran nft it was running 24/7. Which seems standard practice.

So why is this ok but not acceptable to water during the night if in a different medium?

@Penguinfarmer im using an 8l airpot, watering at lights on and preferably about two hrs before lights out. soil now drying out a bit so bought a "mighty dripper bag" its great 

coco when fully saturated still has enough oxygen within it.

@M Pamplemousse Golden explains it on the other page. Transpiration stops at lights out. 

Hey MD. Thanks for the reply.

I did read that hence my question wrt specifically nft. Pump runs all 24/7. Never a problem.

Anyway, maybe it's of no relevance. Thought it interesting as possibly an exception to the rule....

I run Coco with multiple waterings during the day but nothing at night but my pots are still moist in morning.

Or is there a point, is it linear change from 100% saturated?

As far as I'm aware, its linear when you read pore water EC and not run off EC. Dont ask me why the difference yet, I'm still learning

I feel that when you get to hit multiple feeds, stalks start to fatten and things just kick into another gear.

 

Increased access to oxygen and nothing else!
