    Default Moving to coco

    After my current grow ends in mid January I’m going to move over to coco.

    I’ve read as a lot and I’m continuing to read other coco diaries which I think are very helpful.

    Now my questions are what are your must have items?
    I’m going to get a ph pen and an ec pen.

    Nutes I think I’m going with canna a b, cal mag and I’m open to suggestions for what else I will need.

    I’m growing in a 1.2x1.2 tent with 2x 260w qb from vivid.

    I’m going to grow a white widow auto as for me along with northern lights it’s the most nostalgic strain from when I was young and stupid. I’m only growing one strain as I don’t want to deal with different nutrient requirements.

    Also what is the one thing you wish you knew before you started with coco or the one piece of equipment that you couldn’t do without?

    Thanks a lot

    If your not sure of the feed strength you've knocked up, or remember measures then start over.
    Oh and EC pens I would recommend bluelabs or essentials
    Make sure you have them on raised platforms for water drainage
    Drip feed is best
    Nutes wise, just some silicon (vitalink) and rhizotonic (canna nutes)

    Other than that matey you should be golden, assuming you have the other gear for growing (fans etc)

    I was under the impression that if I ever did get a knock on the door if I had more advanced systems it would go against me?
    I’m only planning to grow 5 plants and I stick to the rule of L’S but I am a cautious person.
    I’ll definitely look into it but I know there is always a chance of getting rumbled somehow.

    Thanks for your input

    Nooooo fook dat do what you gotta do mate ur in the plant limit ur all good?

    Depends were in the world you are I guess my pal got caught with 8 plants in his and 5 more in his mums next door both on drip and drain systems he got slap on the wrist with a £140 fine. If you ever did get a knock they be looking at plant numbers. Police have better things todo then worry about us small time personal pot growers Good luck!!

    Dont scrimp on your tools. Buy the best EC and PH meters you can afford, my personal shout is Bluelab. Use them myself and never had issues.

    Maintain them properly. Rehydrate the pen when you get it by standing it with the sensor in storage fluid for 24-48 hours before you try to calibrate or use it (who knows how long its been sat on the shelf ). Store the PH pen in the correct KCL storage solution and do not allow it to dry out (do not use water for storage, as this degrades the sensor and shortens lifespan, can also lead to accuracy issues), clean and calibrate it monthly (bluelab have an indicator on the pen to show when its needed). Calibrate to two points of reference, 4 and 7, for highest accuracy before your first use.


    Get the PH and EC right going in, water slowly to run off daily and you don't ever have to worry about the PH and EC of whats coming out .

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

    I guess I’ve got some more reading to do.

    my tent is in a room with about 4 inches around each side and about 20 inches in front of the door. Would I be able to put the water tank in the space outside the tent?
