Lazy L Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 I got mine for a fiver a box I ended up getting 6 boxes thinking 1 box should do a complete grow from start to finish but if it's crap I can't be wasting the time and electric on it at the moment I have a couple of plants in some I flushed out a couple of weeks ago that look like they are re-vegging could that be why?

catweazle1 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 LazyL Your meter reads 0.264 microsiemens or 0.3 rounded off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy L Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 @catweazle1 thank you im starting a proper diary in the coco section now so hopefully i can get some more help from everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catweazle1 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Another 0.2ec of calmag will put it in the right ballpark to start, then add your nutes. I would just add a and B, a seaweed type additive and ph down for your first grow with it. Get some epsom salts to balance the calcium with magnesium if necessary later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 another tip to rinsing that shit is an old pillowcase, put coco inside flush boiling water through it, then a bit of cold, squeeze pillow case, water comes out, coco doesnt clog all your drains do this dozens of times and you might get lucky with ph etc,, but if it was me id just buy the pro + 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Manalishi Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Before putting beans in there, carry out a sample test first to make sure you have buffered correctly, fill up a pot with your coco, run some ec through it, your run off should be the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
