    Default How many times should I be feeding these!

    Hi all I have 8 royal queens critical.
    They were started in jiffy pellets. Then small 10cm pots, then 2.5 litre pots and now I have just put then in their final 11 litre fabric pots.

    Thus is my first coco grow. Last grows were soil.

    In total I have only fed them about 3 times since seed as pots have always been wet/moist.

    Been reading on here and it says in a lot of posts that coco should be fed every day?
    They are growing well and had a good mass of roots when I re potted and topped them this morning.

    I'm feeding 2ml per litre of canna coco a and b with a base ec of 0.6 which brings my total ec up to 1.4. @ 5.8ph.

    I think there happy enough with that amount of feed as don't wanna start burning them.

    Just needed a bit of advice really as I'm unsure about how much and how often I should feed.

    Their in a 2.4x1.2x2m tent with a 400w mh in veg and gonna have 2x600w hps with sunking parabolics when in flower.

    Just seen above your ec is 1.4... I'd say that a bit high for plants of that size. What's your background ec? Just seen that too lol, early, need more weed before I can read

    Yeah I have a bluelabs ec meter. My background ec is 0.6. So upon adding 2ml of each it rises to 1.4 ec

    It should be ok, at that ec considering your bg ec is so high.

    Water everyday day mate, with the feed you're using now, with ten percent run off every feed, and remove the run off, don't let the plants sit in it.

    Measure the ec of the run off, if it's higher than the ec going in, you're feeding too much and should reduce the ec by 0.2 points.

    Looking good though mate! Feed them every day and they're gonna grow massive
