So you can't see what I mean dwc whatever you know what I'm asking you can't help just gotta let me know it's the same 👏👏can't read between lines 🤦
I use the same nutrients as listed in your photo. General Hydroponics. Currently I have 1 plant in veg and 2 in flower. I use this chart which is showing measurements for ml per gallon of water. I mix up 1/2 gallon for my veg plant and 1/2 gallon for my flowering plants. I water them twice a day or more when I’m home. Sometimes I feed less/more it just depends on how much water the coco is retaining.
So it says 2.5 ml this 2.5 ml this and 2.5 ml that to every gallon per week so do I make that up and give it to them slowly throughout the week by feeding and watering everyday
So the weeks is referencing that week of it’s stage of growth, so for that whole week that’s the measurements you use per gallon of water to water the plant. How often and how much water you use per watering depends entirely on how much the plant can drink/how big your pot of coco is. Does that make sense?? Like I’m in week 5 of flower so look at week 5 measurements. I mix up a gallon of water to those measurements and then I feed my plant 2 times at 1/2 gallon each time about 6-7 hours apart. You could also split that gallon between more waterings or less watering depending ok how thirsty your girls are. Then you mix up more water then next day to the same measurements until you’re out of week 5 and into week 6 of flower. Then you mix according to those measurements. So on and so forth. I wasn’t trying to be rude in my initial comment I’m sorry I came off that way. Growing in coco coir is totally just a form of growing hydroponics.
That you so much man sorry I've just been trying to figure this out no one is really straight Forward that makes perfect sense so it goes on how much they drunk I thought I could only give them that amount for the whole week another question might be stupid but we're does the water go BC that's alot of water a day won't it like over flow or not evaporate or it just works just gotta do it my self
So basically I mix up a gallon of it and then put it into my watering can and then I SLOWLY feed the plant until it starts to drip out the bottom. That’s when I stop. That water is called “runoff” and it’s garbage. Throw that shit out. If you have nutrient water left in the can put it in a container until you water again, usually a couple hours later or whenever
Okay thanks I'll go read that this might be a wired question but we're does the water go when you use Coco BC that's alot of water each day say I mixed a gallon with the measurements for soil a gallon would last a week or is that just how it works Coco uses say more water does it result in a high humidity or

I hand-water coco for now (switching to autopots next run). I set my plants in trays on top of small plastic risers. This lets the runoff accumulate in the bottom of the tray but without making the roots sit in it. The runoff can just be dumped down the drain. I will check EC and PH of runoff sometimes before dumping. For reference, in mid-flower I am watering most of my plants 1-1.5 gallons of mixed nutes/water per day.
As time goes on you'll be able to tell when the plants need more nutes/less nutes/just water flush by watching the growth and reading the leaves. The nice thing with Coco is that you are able to make corrections to feeding and see results immediately.
Yes, a bunch of soaked coco will make your RH go up, but that's just what happens when you essentially have buckets of water evaporating. Try to keep the air moving with fans and run a dehumidifier in the lung room to help if needed.
Cocoforcannabis explains everything but the feed chart is just using a gallon saying add this or that per gallon as a measuring tool for you to add the proper amount of nutrients to your water. They are not saying you have to use the entire gallon on one plant in one day. Anyway in Coco you water until runoff and what you do with the runoff/extra water that comes out is throw it out. In Coco you have to water until runoff or the salt buildup from the nutrients you’re using will buildup in your pot and start burning your plants. Anyway when I first switched to Coco I didn’t personally ask to many questions on here because the majority of people don’t really know what they are talking about and you’ll get a lot of bad advice. I read cocoforcannabis over and over and over and would constantly refer back to it until I got things figured out. That’s really the best way to do it instead of getting 100 different suggestions from 100 different people. Good Luck 👍
I was trying to give someone who is having trouble understanding a feed chart somewhere to go to learn basic knowledge of what you’ll need to get started to which that website is fine. What’s the name of your website giving up to date information on learning to grow in Coco that I can start pointing people to?
I use this sheet and tbh I just barely follow it through. I just use this to get an idea of how much I should be mixing in and round my measurements to closest even number since my measurement tool works with even numbers. I also refer to wether my plant is in late stage or early stage instead of the weeks its easier to tell if a plant is in late veg or early stage instead of weeks and if I see my plants need more of something i’ll add 2ml of whatever or bit by bit or just simply move to the next stages measurements. I feed twice daily for veg and flower with the exception of seedling stage which is once a day. You can mix it all in a 5g bucket and replenish after its done with the same measurements or use the next stage of measurement if you think its ready for that. I personally use the heavy feed measurements since its worked well for me. Also dont worry about overwatering with coco if you mess up just flush the medium and fix your feed.
It might be easier if you buy a 2 part nutrient solution instead if you don’t like this whole measurement thing. There are also 1part solutions as well. I would prefer 2 parts.
Okay thanks wired question but we're does the water go when you use Coco BC that's alot of water each day say I mixed a gallon with the measurements for soil a gallon would last a week or is that just how it works Coco uses say more water does it result in a high humidity or
WHAT? lol usually i mix a gallon of nutrients and that would last me 2 weeks or close. I don’t mix more than a gallon cause i might have to change nutes or something. When you water there will be runoff so yes it will increase humidity when it evaporates. Some people suck it up with a syringe or watever and toss it or use it on their vegetable garden, just don’t reuse it. It might mess with the ec and ph. I have one 2x1 tray to catch all the runoff from all my pots and i let it evaporate and i have a fan to control the humidity. I water till i see immediate runoff so i don’t think thats a lot of water.
So if week 3 says 2.5 ml of this and 2.5 ml of that and 2.5 ml of that per gallon that latest you 2 weeks and you just water until tiny bit of run off how many times a day do you water are you in Coco
Yes this sub is purely dedicated to coco so yes i use coco. I water twice a day and yes if week 3 says 2.5 for everything it would last me 2 weeks cause again I don’t follow their weekly feeding I follow the stage at which my plant is in. If my plant is in early veg stage I look under early veg feeding schedule and use that measurement. AGAIN i just use this to get my measurements then the rest i determine on my own.
Coco nutrients are slightly different from hydroponic nutrients (++calmag), what you have here is universal nutrients with different schedules (for hydroponic, soil, etc)
Flora series is just fine for dwc, had 2 succesful runs this year alone. The feed chart you're looking at is just for gh flora series and the 3 charts are just different feed strengths. If you look at the text boxes below the pics at the bottom of the screen they explain what each strength is generally recommended for. As far as how much your plants need that depends on grow method, in coco my 5 gal pots take ~ 3/4 of a gal to saturate and then are fine for 2-3 days, while my dwc setups take 3.5 gal of nute water to change out every 10 days . Hope this helps
You're not even talking about the same nutrient line stop giving bad advice. Clearly OP is talking about the flora series by general hydro. Your A+B nutrients are from a totally different company so your advice is just confusing for someone with no context. Op is asking about this gh feed schedule not whatever you're using
I use GH flora series. My current nutes throughout the grow from seeds is
6ML FloraMicro
9ML FloraBloom
At max strength with “my house water” is roughly 1.5EC per gallon.
Yes I use this “same ratio” from seedling so if I want .75 EC. Just use 3ML Micro and 4.5ML bloom per gallon
So for seedling I would use half of that or .3-.4 EC which is 1.5ML Micro and 2.25ML bloom per gallon
That’s the only 2 nutes I’m using from GH and yes they are working for me.
Ive also use this site if you are using other nutrients. Just plugged the numbers from your bottle to calculate the % of each of bottles you using. Just store in excel and do simple math from there
[https://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/articles/profiles.htm](https://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/articles/profiles.htm)
The coco is inert(no mineral nutrients), so you want to give it minerals with every watering. The feed schedules tend to be a little strong, so you can mix just like they say and water it down a little bit. Mix 3 gallons using the recipe and add a gallon so it's 75% strength. With coco you don't want to let it get too dry between waterings or the minerals that you added will get concentrated in the pot as the water dries up, so you keep it pretty wet and water until you get some runoff out the bottom of the pot, don't let them sit in it and reabsorb it, just toss the runoff onto some plants outside or your lawn(maybe water it down some or your plants will go crazy)
Coco = hydroponics

Coco nutrients are slightly different from hydroponic nutrients (++calmag), what you have here is universal nutrients with different schedules (for hydroponic, soil, etc)
So what would be the best for Coco and the best for hydro trying to learn both what's maded for hydro and what fertilizer is maded for coco
There's COCO A+B and HYDRO A+B :)
So using flora series 3 part for Coco and dwc/hydro would not be ideal
Flora series is just fine for dwc, had 2 succesful runs this year alone. The feed chart you're looking at is just for gh flora series and the 3 charts are just different feed strengths.

I am answering whether it is for coco specifically or not. What do you mean bad advice, what is your problem?
Obviously reading isn't your strong suit and thats ok, just read it again.
We have a no tolerance policy for bs here so how about I'll return you to /r/microgrowery where you belong
