H3ad,
How long do you flush for? Flush, as in end of grow flush.
Thanks

adding some perlite will help ENORMOUSLY (it basically does the aeration part for you). Perlite is mineral foam that is PH neutral. By doing this, you dont have to water so often but get the great benefits that coco offers
hey h3ad have you found with strains like casey that dropping the N too early causes a mess late flower? as in branch strength
Here is a detail of how i recommend transplanting into solo cups for coco:
1. only use cuts which have begun to grow roots. by this i mean that the cut is actually growing roots, not merely having bumps that will be roots. usually I wait until i see more than one root emerging from the rw cube. if cloning in coco i transplant as soon as I see the cut growing again. when cloning in coco i water cuts often too.
2. hydrate your coco with 1/2 str 6/9. coco should be wet, but not so wet that water drips out when you pick up a handful.
3. loosely fill the cup with coco up to the level where the bottom of the cube will rest. set the cube in. loosely fill in around the cube to the level of the top of the cube. gently drop the cup once from about 1.5 inches high to tamp the coco.
4. 24 hours later begin watering daily, by pouring a small stream of diluted 6/9 nutrient solution directly into the rw cube until nutrient just begins to run out of the cup holes.
Currently,5. transplant again in a couple of weeks.
if you follow head's method in terms of amount of runoff, etc. you will need to water everyday regardless of weight. although i think you will be surprised how much lighter they are before watering each day.so as far as I understand, they are going to need water on a daily basis. I have heard that you should not treat coco like a soil grow, which leads to my next question. Do I water regardless of the weight of the pot?!?! or what. How do you know when to water?
no. you fert everyday and flush at the end. this feeding program already accounts for nutrient buildup within the substrate, that's how/why it works.Second- plain ph'd water every other watering or what??
