All i would do is run straight coco core get a quality coco core that has been pre washed and amended and a decent hydro nutrient that will give the plants what they need threw veg and flower it dose not need to be expensive.
Keep it simple.
Peat moss is acidic it reducing pH levels in alkaline soils i would not use it with Coco.
I dont allow my coco to fully dry back never seen an issue watering daily even with young plants.
Nono you’re maybe switching it up. I have 3 plants, 2 in coco, 1 in organic peat. Coco gets never dry, peat gets 95% dry.
My coco is “canna coco professional plus”, it’s apparently already 100% ready to use and high quality stuff, prebuffered, everything. Amended I don’t think so though, seems to be completely empty of any preamendments.
My nutrients are Canna Coco A+B, and some additives which I currently don’t use, just to be safe.
I’d like to mention one more thing, where it’d be especially helpful if it’s someone who has used this stuff already - Whenever I add “Rhizotonic” by Canna, my PH shoots up 1.5+ PH, and it also turns “milky” in the solution for a few seconds, and then disappears. This is nothing worry about, or? Because this stuff does not turn milky if I add it to water without any other nutrients, it only turns this way after adding A+B, but it disappears afterwards
Just a thought:
You are making this too complicated.
If your goal is to nerd out over minutiae that’s fine, that can be fun, but it’s really not necessary.
If you just want buds you don’t need any of this fancy stuff.
But I’m a simple man.
Well yeah, I guess I can give up in this case. The big plant hasn’t used up any water in the past 3 days. The coco is still as wet as it was in the beginning. It doesn’t even really dry up on top anymore. The main stem is slowly turning “rubbery”. It’s still standing upright, but when I try to move it slightly, it bends easily. The leaves are all crisping up slowly. I feel like this plant has given up long ago, because it just went through too much stress. It also can’t be the environment, as my organic peat is drying up nicely, even after a recent watering. Fans are working as intended.
This is especially bad because I recently modified my setup, fixed a few things, added a heating element, and the tent now enjoys a wonderful 78°F steady 18 hours a day, with 60% humidity. I might raise the humidity a little for the new seedlings though. But it’s confusing as to why the coco isn’t drying up even slightly in the big plant.
My 3 new seedlings are currently in their 1/3 gallon starter fabric pots. They all popped their heads out at the same time yesterday, one cosplayed as stepsis and was stuck in the substrate so I helped it, and they look healthy so far. I want to get it right this time, so PLEASE give me a quick guide, and don’t link me to cocoforcannabis please. Link me anything but that website, any guide for coco seedlings will do, or even just a few quick words on what to do in the next 7 days from now on.
I made a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mixture again. Canna Coco Pro Plus, and normal perlite. I pre-soaked each pot in a very low nutrient / calmag solution with around 450 EC until I got a little runoff on each. Then planted the seeds. Now I water daily with small amounts of nutrient solution with around 450EC, raising it around 50EC every day, or? Nothing else? Runoff or no runoff for now? Daily watering, no daily watering? I saw someone on youtube who let them dry out 100% in coco as seedlings, and then watered again until heavy runoff, and that also seemed to work. I just don’t know what to do anymore to enjoy coco.
For the organic peat plant, I apparently found the fix - Way more water. It’s a 3 gallon pot, and I watered with 1 gallon now, I’ll just never understand this stuff. People either say “let it dry out fully”, or “never let organic peat dry out”. I’m lost, but yeahj. The newest nodes seem to become greener again. But who knows, may just be wishful thinking? I’ll wait.
Let your seedlings dry out more. They probably only need water every 3-5 days at this point and a tiny amount of water with light light nutrients. A mister bottle helps from overdoing it. Just water every 3-5 days and mist the tops when they start drying out.
