Hey guys. New to the thread and new to coco. My friend gifted me some rooted cuts in 3 liter pots of coco. I have been pHing the water to 5.8-5.9. My first question is, will the Fox Farm nutrient line be sufficient base nutes? I have been using those with Rhizotonic, Superthrive, and once with a magnesium supplement. Next question: When foliar spraying with plants in coco, does the pH of the solution need to be the same (5.8-5.9)?

Question: How many brick does it take to make one gallon of potting mix?
I purchased a 5kg bag of coir and I have a lot left over. Can I store it damp or should I let it dry out? My only complain with coir, it is messy! I mixed in a large storage container in my bath tub.
I am using CNS17 for coco (got 1 gallon for $5 so I got a lot). I started seeds in the aerogarden and transferred them yesterday into 3 gallon air bags. I feed them half strength nudes and this morning the plants look health and strong. I am using Trek T5 6 lights from veg to bloom in my new grown area. Experiment with T5. I have used 400w with 2x2 ebb/flow in the pass and got just under 1/4# with four plants. I want to see what T5 will do for me since it will cut cost and energy usage.
Here is my setup:
AeroGarden to start seeds, later it will be used to clone 7 clones.
A separate cabinet to house 2 mothers and clones.
Blooming area is 2X4 closet setup using 6 bulbs T5 HO lights. to grow 6 to 7 plants
I hope to harvest at least 300g of White Rhino and unknown seeds from friends.
I got seeds from some good stuff in the past (over 100 seeds from 3 sources of good stuff)
My last two harvest was from unknown and it turned out to be mostly sativa and the high was mostly energetic. I don't use it late at night or I will be up until 2 or 3 am.
The current unknowns are most indica, wide leaf.

Hey Maynard I didn't know you were going with Air Pots! As you saw I started a thread and I'm very excited to see what happens. So i assume you're going coco... are you doing a mix with anything at all or all coco? Check out this site about the air pots on Youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NUjNBKex0I
Are you in the states at all?

I got 6 of the 2 gallon size. I'm going to do 3 of them in coco and 3 of them in hydroton. Both will be fed with recirculating drip type setups. I know a lot of guys say to not do a recirculate thing with the coco, but I've seen a couple do it with great results. My first hydro type grow was with a small drip system that absolutely rocked. I'm a little tired of hand watering, so I'm gonna try something different.

Yeah I was using bio buckets before I found these. I just didn't like the fact i wasn't in control of all my plants during feeding, plus water would stay in the bottoms which gave it root rot... Do you have a thread at all on what you're doing?

Look forward to seeing how this works out for you MGK. I am sick of hand watering as well.

Hi, thanks for all the info in here, i've learned a lot from it!
I've been growing in coco for just over a year and i love it. I grew indica and 50/50 strains in the beginning. I watered at least once per day and gave the plants nutes so they started to burn at the tips. Thing were fine, but then i started to grow more sativa leaning strains as SSH and Skunk (i always thought skunk was more indica but what i got was very satdom). They were all hanging and looked like they were growing out of control (don't know how to describe it, growth were good but leafes grew crooked and the plant was not beautifull).
So i cut down on both waterings and nutes, first on the sativas. It worked! plants wre starting to look great, so i tried it with the indicas aswell, and they too looked better. Yields increased aswell.
This goes against all i've read about coco. Has anyone experienced the same as me? I should add that since i let the coco get somewhat dry i flush every other watering to avoid salt buildup.
I think you see what i mean in the pics, first is good, second overwatered.

ballance is the key 
watering frequency has a lot to do with ambient temperatures. when its hot its better to water more, since the plants use more water and leave a lot of nutes to build up. when the temps are lower, the plants need less water, and dont need to get watered as often.
poit size also affects it - bigger pots need less water, but at the same time are bound to build up more nutes and salts, because of the volume of coco.
in smaller pots also the plants finish quicker the water and have to be watered acordingly.

Using coco for the first time. I am going to hand feed and water. Should I follow a water,water, feed, water, water, feed schedule ? Any tips would "highly" be apprieciated !

i'm running a nutrient profile modeled after what H3ad uses for coco, but with organic/mostly organic nutes and just wanted to double check if anyone here sees a problem with it and if any adjustments should be made or addressed. my medium is pure b'cuzz coco, no pre-rinsing or flushing, General Organics Bloom and Cal/Mg and Buddha Grow from Roots Organics. Trinity(bio-catalyst), Ancient Amber(fulvic/humic acid) OregonismXL(mychos and benefiicials), and Hygrozyme. nute profile is 107N-62P-140K-29Mg-66Ca. i haven't ph'd at all and plants look extraordinarily healthy going into week 1 flower. i plan to boost with Roots Big Swell. i should add, this is my first time with coco, less than 1 month experience. any help or feedback is appreciated.

its only a lucky few in the world that have tap water suitable for growing with good results in coco.
ec and ph meters are a must for best results for most of us. its great tools..

The Rhizotonic and Cannazyme are both working very well for me.
