Best fertilizer for Coco

[Frank.O]

Hi, im currently looking for the best fertilizer for Indicas (Critical Mass) grown in coco. I need one thats available in EU.
So far I found the Plagron Cocos A+B, but the ratio of A and B parts doesnt even change with switching from vegging to flowering, according to the official schedule here
That seems very very strange to me, but otherwise I kinda like this one because it is made specially for cocos.
So anyways... I´d really appreciate any good sugestions you guys could give me Thanks a lot

there common place to not switch veg / bloom ferts, and run a whole set veg or flower.. I can't fully agree with this, as there is a overdose of P then in veg... but they do work.

I will tell you, basically anything works.. it's more about what your instincts say and what you want to float towards.. like right now, I'm using organics in coco, and it's been a better surprise then using salts.. but don't go and run out and buy a organic.. I've been using salts and organics for years, let alone coco for many years.

just use what you think fits, if it works pretty good, keep it, if it doesn't work well from the start switch it out to find something that suits you better...

problem is each person is going to give you a different answer, so you gotta answer this yourself.

Canna all the way in coco mate, I swear by them Nutes specially the boost/PK

 

[JimmyToucan]

Jack's Citrus or Dynagro 9-3-6 start to finish. Easy peasy. After watching HB run Foliage Pro against a food with three times the P and get better results the whole high P for flower notion went right in the dumper.

i second this one above

 

[dansbuds]

I third the vote for canna coco nutes

 

[Frank.O]

Ok thanks a lot for all the tips, I guess imma go with the Canna nutes than

I prefer Canna Coco as well, but really only for veg, and only with the correct kind of tap water or with RO water supplemented with Cal-Mag and Iron. In flowering I cut the use way back to control the Nitrogen and calcium levels then dose in PK+Mag for the plant's requirements.

I've not tried Canna Coco as I've still got a few bottles of GH FloraMicro and FloraBloom.

Have been having amazing results just using the above at a 6ml/9ml per gal with 1g Epsom Salts per gal as well.

Does me through veg and flower. Plants love it!

How much epsom would you use during flower SC ??? is that 1% solution you taught me to make @ 3ml enough or to much ??? i never remember to check the EC of just Mag when i'm mixing ... mainly cuz i add it after the protekt .
its surprising how many people don't realize the cannazyme has a PK value plus it being an enzme to break down the dead root matter .

Dont mean to be that guy but theirs no such thing as a nutrient line that is known as the best for the most part. Ive used canna...H&G....AN...GH and Ive had suberb results with all of them while growing in coco. Now of course every grower has their favorite nutrient line for their own reasons but that doesnt make the nutrients better than another companies brand everyone just has their own preference its like cars for example theres one for everyone. What it really comes down to is the skill and experience of the grower that dictates the product and results you get at the end. What really matters is getting a real good PH combo meter or no matter what nutes you get the plant wont be able to suck up the nutes if lockout and ph imbalance is occurring. I currently use 6/9 (GH) as my base simply because I see no major difference in using expensive nutes such as canna except that it puts a dent in my pocket. Ive grown top quality using GH and Ive grown top quality using canna etc.... So like I said its not about the nutes its about knowing what your plant wants and that only comes with time and experience my friend. Nutes dont make AAA+ product...the grower does.Experiement and youll find a brand you like the most.

Epsom Salt is actually pretty easy stuff to use.

It is 9.8% Magnesium.

The equation goes:
(%*milligrams)/Liters

If 1/8th teaspoon = ~0.65g
and 1 gram = 1000mg then...
(0.098*650mg)/3.78L = 16.85mg/L

And mg/L=ppm

So for every 1/8th of a teaspoon of Epsom Salt in 1 gallon of water the solution gets around 15-18ppm, probably closer to 16.5ppm, of Magnesium.

How much Mag you add depends on the amount in your nutrient solution and the ratio with other elements. I attempt to keep my total calculated ppm of Magnesium somewhere between 45ppm and 60ppm during flowering, typically just a little less than my Phosphorus ppm. By the start of week 6 I am usually running as much Mag, if not more, than Calcium (and a lot of Potassium too). I use Epsom Salt to maintain my balance and to avoid having to fight a deficiency down the road. Although, if I did need to fight a deficiency I would utilize Epsom in a foliar spray rather than increase the amount in the reservoir and messing with the ratios/chemistry.

Thank you Brutha !!!!

I use H&G 2 part A&B. roots excel in veg , drip clean ,BB , and OD in flower (Advance)

plants LOve that stuff!

TS

 

[Caravaggio]

Cocos A&B most recently for us. Plants seem to love it. Tough to burn plants with it as well. Wish it had more CaMg

 

[dansbuds]

Yeah its formulated for Tap water Caravaggio .... so if your using RO your gonna need the calmag . its still a pretty good base nute though . i love the way it lets the true taste of the weed come out without muddying it up like some of the others do .

Yea i use the Calibagic with it. Next run ill try Canna.

Are you using coco in a hydro setup or as base for a soilless medium ?
Hesi nutes worked great for me, dutch company I believe.
I used the regular soil line though, because I also added worm castings to my coco(but that wasn't a hydro setup). Worm castings added to coco are great in a non-hydro setup.

cheers
