Hey, guys. I'm midway through my first grow and am having a blast. I'll have some pictures up to show off my whole set up tonight or tomorrow, I think. Some of the techniques I'm using are pretty interesting -to me, at least. That's because I've been forced to improvise quite a bit given my growing environment.
Anyway... this post is about adapting the wonderful Flora Nova nutes to work ideally with coco.
I've had pretty good success lately with my plants in 75% coir and 25% Home Depot perlite. It's soooooo much better than the Miracle Gro time release crap that I had before. I've finally got no more burned tips, drainage is better, and the fine line between watering enough and watering too much has been erased. So, the question is, what else should I add for use in this new substrate?
Here are the vital stats:
Seed: BAG is beautiful! (Sativa-leaning cross?)
Mix: 75%/25% coco/perlite
Veg: Grow@~450ppm per watering
Flowering: Bloom@~325ppm per watering
Supplement: 1/8th teaspoon epsom salt/gallon
pH: 6.0 (adjusted down from 7.1 tap water via phosphoric acid)
watering method: hand w/moisture meter (allowing slightly wet dropping to slightly dry)
watering frequecy: checked nightly
Humidity veg: ~50 - 60%
Humidity flowering: ~40%
Again, things are working fairly well right now. However, I'm jealous of all this Canna A + B talk. If I can feed these babies better, I'd like a go of it. What do y'all think?
