Coco..hand watered! tips!

[sticky_fingers]

Afternoon folks,

Please have a look thro my plan on growing in coco for the first time,any comments or tips feel free to add..appreciate your time,

Medium: coco with 30% clay pebbles hand watered,

Room size: dr120

Fans= 5" rvk for intake (active)
6" rvk for extraction with cf (attic)

ec truncheon ph pen ph up/down

Nutrients hesi txt complex hesi bloom hesi pk/13/14

OK heres what i plan to do,start my clones off at an ec of 0.8 and pot them into 1.4 square pots once rooted and water by hand from the top daily untill i get a small run off,after roots appear at the bottom ill feed from the bottom then,so in first pots for 7/10 days then moved up to 3.5,s and as above for another 10 days then into their final pots of 11 litre for 10 more days before i switch to flower.

The water i use daily will be from a 10 litre bucket stood and bubbled for 24 hours before i add any nutrients and ph,

I plan to water each day maybe every 2 days max as long as i dont let the coco dry out,the final ph will be kept at btw 5.8-6.2 My background ec is 0.8 so ill half this to 0.4 so if im after an ec of say 0.8 it should show up at 1.2 on my truncheon,

I plan on growing maybe 5/6 in my tent under a 600hps light,

So whatcha rekon folks? have I got this plan correct?

Hey bro,

what coco you, using, hope its not Atami!

Frequency of watering to low, coco needs at least one rinse thru a day, otherwise you're just treating it like soil

Treat it as a run to waste ..... that's why Hesi nutes are so cheap

Tgf..Ill be using canna mate,

Bush Dr...So you rekon during veg I might need to water more than once a day?

I say 2 days at a max but only if and when I feel the weight of the pot on the day of watering,if its still heavey from the day befores watering Ill leave it till the next..hows that sound?

Input appreciated,

Sticky.

Ive used coco for a number of years now and i think its the dogs danglys. No fly eggs or bugs init so you dont get investations of thrips all the time.
You still can get them but that would be down to you and not the coco.
I also use hesi nutes and supervit along with ionics boost and they are good nutes.Ive tryed someother brands but found them to be deficent in some of the other micro nutients such as sulfer manganese and so on.
