    From what I have read Mac .500 & .650 is mostly U.S. and .700 Europe. But if you use
    ppm then check which one your nute company uses and your ec - ppm meter uses.
    They can be different.

    Coco ftw. Also with EC, dont get put off meters with "big" readings. Saw a thread recently where it said EC is something like 1106. That is 1.1 but on a much more accurate meter. As long as its EC its measuring what you need.

    For example 1.1 on a Essentials or EC stick. Thats same as 1100 on a more sensitive meter. Just dont confuse with parts per million or total dissolved solids.

    lazy grower here. I keep everything simple, minimal input maxuimal out (yeild/quality bud)

    I mix up some soil, do a little training and water every 2 days, don't want to buy coco, bottle food, ec or ph meter, it sounds like loads of work for the same results I can get in dirt. JMO

    fwiw, I don't think I know one person who has tried coco that has said they hate it.

    Almost everyone I know that grows coco says that after the first time or two feeding its not as complicated as it was made out to be, and they wish they had switched over sooner.

    What tends to put most off I find is the daily watering, stoners are lazy shits

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

    Yep coco needs to be watered once daily at a minimum, more is better!!! Saturated coco holds a fuck ton of oxygen, roots love it like a junkie loves crack. More feeds = more oxygen = bigger roots = bigger fruits.

    I grew in coco for about 1 years, 15 years ago, ec wand, ph pen etc, the plants grow fast and healthy, no questions about that, but it's a lot more time, money and things than can go wrong( like over feeding your plants) coco drys out quick, temps, humidty had an big impacked on how much water/food ratio the plants would use and wha stage the plants where in, can be worked out but feeding your plants mid flower in a flower room 25c, 60% is very different to feeding your plants in 33c, 30% and it also depends on the plant your growing, some eat more than others, it's a mine field, don't get me wrong, used to pull it off 90%( high yeiding plants, good quality bud )of the time as you can read the plants and see what they need.

    Coco has no nutrient so yes feed every day, to run off too as this prevents salt build up. Otherwise ya plant goes hungry
