    Default A couple of questions.......

    Afternoon all. Been lurking about but finally got my shit together and I'm now up and running.
    I hope you're all well..
    I'm currently growing 4 x Jack Herrer approx 6wk veg from cuttings from a good, solid 3yr old mother plant.
    I'm in 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0 tent
    Coco / clay balls 60/40 mix
    600w digital / dimmable ballast
    5" Rvk coneected to fan controller
    Phresh carbon filter
    Bio Nova Coco Forte A+B
    EC 5.8 EC 1.2/3
    Drain to Waste in 11 litre pots.

    So to the questions...
    My run off is 1.9ec & 6.1-3ph
    The plants are nice and healthy. They're fed every day and are lush with plenty of vigour.

    I've want to flip them in the next couple of days but have read that a flush at this point in coco is a good thing going into flower. I've also read so much conflicting info on this that my head hurts!!!

    I also have 3 addiditives that I'd like some knowledge on
    1. BAC Silica power
    2. Atami Bcuzz universal coco booster
    3. Final Bloom ( yellow bottle )

    I am a first time coco grower so any info / suggestions / advice are welcomed.
    Thanks in advance

    Meant to say that the temps are a steady 25 lights on and 20 lights off (degrees)

    I'm not quite sure what you mean here:-

    EC 5.8 EC 1.2/3

    same size tent i use for flower matey
    why the 60/40 ratio? would have been better with just coco matey

    you feeding at 1.3 but its coming out at 1.9 that would mean you over feeding mukka. if it were going in say0.8 an coming at at 0.8 you would have found the sweet feeding spot for the plant. if comes out much higher than its over feeding much lower is under feedin.

    any pics matey? whats your 1.2/3 feed made up of? and whats your background EC?

    get a diary going mon

    Thanks for replying so quickly..Joker. Appreciated.
    My background ec is 0.1 and the ph is 7.9
    Coco and clay was advice taken from a friend.
    Any advice on moving forwards? What do you reckon I should drop my feed to and do I need to flush?

    The feed is tap water, bio nova a+b and ph down

    Runoff numbers are not that accurate. If you wanna check it, take a sample mid flow in something clean like a glass. That will give an idea but its not bang on

    I'll put pics up in a bit Joker
    In ten litres of tap water I put 10m of a and 10ml of b. This brings it to 1.2 and then I ph down to 5.8 and feed.
    No clay balls next time....

    you must be adding more to it to get 1.2. 1mleach of AB wont be giving you that high EC with a back EC of 0.1. 0.6 tops i reckon roughly lol.

    you adding anything else, silicon, calmag, rhizo....

    cool mate look forward to seein sum pics mukka
