GH and coir - Growing in Coco Coir - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

BlueHaze · 03-03-2007, 07:21 AM

Coir is such a lovely medium even with gh it does miracle. If you ever decide to do coir with gh go half strength. Drain to waste is ideal. I feed once a day till i get a run off. I give it ph water once a week. To make sure the salt doesn't build up. Here some pictures. I been working with coir for 3 years now. I use to run krusty buckets and had massive problem with root health. Any question i be gladly to help and reply. Coir is the most forgiven medium

That's my dream....trees in coco....how are the buckets setup? Inner/outer???

That's nice bro....I always had good success with GH....GH nutes are clean...

I ran GH in a coco mix (Botanicare premix coco blend) for my 1st soilless setup.........I had healthy plants with GH 3 part...but my pics sank with the old ship :(

Thanks for the thread

The bucket sit on top of a milk crate. I rotate the plant clock wise every day. I only veg for 2 weeks. So i would say they are mini trees. 50% coir and 50% hydroton. Drain to waste. I have a small bucket that catches the run off. Those where my old krusty buckets.

real nice plants BlueHaze

currently i am hand waterin my girls every other day or so

but last nite i laid the poly out for my drip system. i planned to water four times daily lightly then flush weekly if i felt they needed it. do you think its better to water once with runoff or several lighter waterings per day?

thanks for sharing man!!!

The dopest if your doing dtw once a day is good. To consume nutz. I have try both ways with excellent results. I just don't like any hoses on the floor. I turn them every day so i wouldn't want plumbing attach..

very nice blue haze. 'psycho buckets' ala ~ the hilarious acry4help, i believe..... haven't seen you around in a while nice to see an old handle :/

what strain are you using in your buckets,? last i remember you were using nlxbb.

BlueHaze · 03-04-2007, 01:37 AM

That strain is Reeferman willijuana. I learn most of things from reading acry4help thread. Even though my true mentor was krusty but i never got his system to run smooth. That what i love about coir no plumbing no chiller and no breaking a hole in the floor to bury my res. Feed once a day and you good to go. I must repeat my self and say coir is easy to work with. I hear most people think gh don't work in coir. I would totally disagree as you see i'm a week or two from harvest and they totally healthy. I run gh at half strength. I learn less is better with coir. I don't even bother with kabloom or additives for the fact. Its all about understanding your plants need.
