Outdoor Coco Questions - Page 2 - Growing in Coco Coir - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Nice idea, I am thinking about vegging my next set of clones outdoors since I don't have an indoor veg room, will use 2 gallon Smartpots with coco chips and feed them some Pura Vida organics. Cal deficiencies, I think I would (will) start adding crushed oyster shells to something to my coco chips, maybe even tie some up in a stocking and throw it in the res.

Shcrews,
How is the miracle grow doing vs. pure coir? My coir hole is doing very well but my biggest surprise is my 5 gallon coir hempy bucket. Using Head's formula I mixed up 2 gallons for my watering can. I figured I might use 1 gallon and have another gallon for another plant. I was amazed to see how much water the coir holds. I poured the entire 2 gallons into the hempy bucket and not 1 drop came out of the holes drilled 3"s from the bottom. The growth has been phenomenal as well. Keep us posted on how things are going.
later,
jake

i wish i could post pictures of these babies!!! the outdoor/coco/smartpot combo is pure insanity. highly recommended.

GH Floranova is also awesome, so far just been using the grow and bloom with sum calmag. I only have to water 3-4 times per week, about 2 gallons per plant. i've only spent about $200 on nutrients all summer! oh, and i gave them a quart of Nitrozime the week they started flowering thick.

amazingly enough, my biggest plant (a lone Blue Dream), is in a little 5gal smartpot. it is currently about 6.5 ft tall and 3 ft wide, showing no signs of slowing down.

the plants that i put in my soil mix, and the plants in the Miracle Gro soil, are also progressing well, but did not grow nearly as bushy, nor as fast as the ones in pure Coco. interestingly, the ones in Miracle Gro soil seem to have bigger buds than the ones in my Blazeoneup-style mix :(

my OG's and Blueberries are about a month from harvest, Blue Dream is probably 6-7 weeks off.

peace out friends

Shcrews: your using coco pith, right?

how often did you have to water at 90-95 F during this summer?

jackiee · 09-04-2009, 03:41 PM

if your gonna use coco add nothing to it no perlite,guano or hydroton nothing.results will be much better also cann a+b is fantastic nutes with a bit of rhizotonic and a bit of seaweed.

would it be overkill to grow outdoor in 100 gallon pots with coco coir?

i am doing 20X10 gallon swamp tubes with pure coco and a kg of excellent compost per tube. This compost contains manures of cow horse and chicken with about ten percent kelp. for nutes i added about i kg per tube of some npk 2.5-1.7-2.5 organic granules that are slow released. these were mixed throughout the media. these are already ready for planting in april may. cant wait. now that i am reading about how awsome outdoor coco is im glad i chose to use it i the swamp.......unlimited water and all day sun plus coco and some organics all put together seems like its going to be fun.

anyone that wants to see my coco swamp tubes can check out the thread HIMALAYAN GANJAS GEURILLA GROW IN THE SWAMP
