Club 600

yea,its been alot going on around here...

anyone here use 100% coco coir?

im thinking of switching from soil to it and was wondering if you could pot plants in it and water by hand?

if you could i was wondering how often i would need to water and if it would be better to set up a drip system. I really have no idea about the stuff so any impute would be great. feel free to wright back on my thread on my sig

corey- I have a buddy that uses coco coir in a coliseum setup. he has a drip system and does the drain to waste method. im sure you could use it in pots if you put a vapor barrier over the pot (ie panda film or black visqueen). it took him awhile to get it dialed in, but once he figured out his feeding schedule he wont use any other medium. im pretty sure he gets a few harvests out of the stuff too.

i used to used molasses from the day i started feeding nutes. but never experienced N lockout that i remember. but as far as you hopkins, you shouldnt be seeing cal mag probs with molasses and also, a 1/.2 gallon a day seems a bit much for watering. whats size are yourcontainers?

i am in three gallon pots and ya my friend said half gallon a day was a bit much also but there not waterlogged at all and they dnt have much run off when i water ///in my friends words he says dam u have a massive root system,,, there is roots coming out the sides bottoms so maybe it just likes to eat alot
when i water they are nice and heavy the next day when i water light as a feather its wierd last grow was about a quart a day

and another quick question in what weeks of flowering does it pack the most wieght and get bigger ime a little worried these flowers are not going to fill out as just bieng paronoid
a friend said they should be bigger than they are for ,,, 4 weeks flowering but would love second opinion

Every strain is different, Bubba is a 9 week strain AT LEAST imo, if not longer... So she should still get fatter.

You can use 100% coco with no probs watering by hand as regards the drip system it should be no problem as that what the Wilma systems do the frequency of watering is something you would have to work out with your plants i think but don't quote me on this that Cruzer101 uses a similar watering system i think he waters for 1 minute twice a day but you'd have to check on that.

Hey Ithopkins, I often see people using cal mag in there grows. I have never once used it in my grow as an individual product (I have a rescue aid that has it in as part of the ingrediant). However what I understand is that excess use can cause problems to your plants as well, so I would cut that out and take it from there. Often what is diagnosed as calmag deficiency is caused by something completely, plants can be a bugger to read sometimes, so you have to look at what you are doing to it as well and change that. So that would be my recommendation. Take your recipe back a bit and make it simpler. Sounds like they are sucking up loads of juice though which is always a good sign.

oh, and I use coco coir as well, and re-use it multiple times. And water by hand but I don't see why a drip system wouldn't work. In fact I need to bloody get one, lol.

Cruzer uses smart pots though, making it easier to water more often.

how often do you have to hand water. is it about the same as soil? and do you just feed or is it feed, feed, water or feed, water or feed, feed, feed, water????

All depends on the size of your pots I guess, but in full speed ahead mode I am feed/watering every second day. And then every week or so I will throw in a water only run. no exact science to my random methods I am afraid.

-re-answering a question that has already been answered...
- posts that contain large amount of smileys/spaces...

ooooookkkk,,,,,,,, what? lol

so no answering questions? lol and no "me too" posts? thats my favorite kind of post lol If they are seriouse about this then really this post should be deleted... If you guys decide to move let me know! haha I wouldnt even update my journal if peeps didn't want me to... then 100% of my time on riu would be spent in the 600 and 3-4 other threads.
I agree that RIU has a SERIOUS troll problem but this is not how you go about fixing it. You gotta get the troll when they sign up... maybe a mass cleanup of riu is necessary... any act of trollism is bannable without question?
Maybe they are trying to turn this sight around... but honestly I dont like the sight very much but I love the 600!



so can I post a pic of my ladies bottom if there is a big nug stuck between her ars crack? lol

Same here water as needed, i feed nearly every watering

I'm 2 parts coir, 1 peat moss with some perlite. I'm in fabric pots too. Sometimes it seems like I'm watering all the time, sometimes they hold water forever. I'm starting to think that it's not the medium mix or the plant that dries them up but the air circulation in my room and where in it the plant is situated. Otherwise I love using coir and I'm pretty sure my plants do too. I also always try to keep my surface moist.

Interesting, I chopped my Casey and over the last week it looks like it has had some nanners come out on it, grrrr. Along side those there has been some new white hair growth. The last ditch attempt to fek itself up the arse, the dirty sausage! I popped some of the nanners open and they are full of pollen. I am guessing that it was dying of thirst, or it had just gone past it's term. Anyway, lots of it hanging up from the one plant.

Hey, where the hell is HeadsUp, is he still balls deep? come up for air HeadsUp, lol. We miss you.

Peace, DST

Hey 600ers. I'll be joining your ranks mid August. What kind of yields are you folks getting with your 600's and soil? Is the 0.5-1.0 w/g ratio working out for ya? Just curious.
