to preface i have been reading all i can here at icmag about coco over the past 7 days. i hate to ask questions that have previously been asked but in this coco part of the icmag forums i have seen folks with lots of experience providing advice and hope that they will indulge me.
i grow in a cab under a 150hps. been growing for 7 years. started in soil..quickly moved to a homemade dwc. when i have found a strain that i like i stick with it. right now it is dreamgoddess from mod. i have been growing it for over two years. last year about this time i lost everything to the "slime" that entered my grow fro too high h2o temps. i had 3 plants that survived. i was unable to get clones. i flowered them and then re-vegged. never revegged before and had great success. i finally was able to get 6 clones. they are in 3in net pots. i am strugging with the temps and altthough the clones are growing the roots are not. i have seen this before and i thought my only option was soil until i started reading about coco. i have to get them in a growing medium now so here are my questions"
1. the local hydro shop only has botanicare coco that loose. i have read a lot about canna but will botanicare be ok.
2. Is there anything special that i should do in the preparation of botanicare coco? i have read lots that folks rinse with ro water...but also there are folks who do not rinse.
3. my cab temps run about 80.so did the water. i am very comfortable in soil and coco seems very similar. should i worry about any root problems if 80 is my temp?
4. Can I treat like soil?
5. Do folks use h2o2 with their water?
6. I have had good success with Earth Ambrosia and Earth Nectar both in water and soil. There should be no problem in coco correct?
7. hygrozyme...i have this great big bottle that i have never used. i bought to fight slime but before use i read it could causes slime. What would it do for me?
8. i was planning to move all of my clones into coco. I am sure that my clones will be sub-par plants if i do not do something...i have seen this before.
9. Is coco known for catching any ickys? slime fungus anything?
Anything you can tell me would be great?
