Glad to hear things are looking up. I've used GB in peat years back. I rarely used much more than a 5-7ml per gallon. Usually 5 supported healthy growth.
I'm thinking coco would be much the same.
One of the bottled Nute's I like to use in coco is Floranova Grow start too finish. It's complete and gives great results. Add a few heaping handfuls of EWC per gallon of medium and your good too grow! Using RO water you still may need to use some CalMag. Even though the Floranova contains some of both.

Only reason i use ebsom, is because of my hard water.
Ive gotta be able to have magnesium as well. Otherwise all my Cec's fill with cal. Then down the road, I have all calcium and no magnesium for flower. I lock the fuck up. Ph skyrockets.
If it was RO, its waaaaay easier. You have full control over your NPK and micros. I MIGHT need to supplement calmag, once a blue moon.
Though upping the Nitrogen, so you can empty the CEC sites during a flush, would be fucking sweet. I cant do this, or i get all calcium.

If you were trying to instruct someone how to make glass over the internet, would you trust what the newb was saying?
You're a beginner. I didnt trust at all, what you were telling me. I had to do the checks for myself.
What if YOU weren't checking your ppm, before adding nutes, and hadn't changed your filters, in 5 years?
I made you do all the checks for ME.
CEC is happening everywhere, in the earth. As a glass guy, surely you know how a lot of rocks are formed?
Calmag is attaching to itself all the time, in the wild.
Cation Exchange Capacity is just a fancy term, stoners like to use, so they sound like they know what they're on about. But actually they dont know at all.

I’m in that boat and have NOT studied horticulture, just have some good practical knowledge from working in the green industry. I watered/fed yesterday with 5.9 and runoff was 6.9!!
I feel like my whole grow is going to shit. I was going to start a new thread later. Got some shit to do. So mad. Please look for my post later.
No worries dude.
Good luck.
You're in soil?
Try a slurry test, or a ph stake.
Runoff just gives you an average in soil.
Ill keep in touch
Thanks T
that's why your grow is going to shit..and more importantly..that's why you have no idea what it is or how to fix it..precisely because you don't understand horticulture and just 'wing' it. Same concept as flying a plane..you can learn to fly a plane in less than a month..the reason it takes so long to be a licensed commercial pilot is because one has to know what to do when something goes wrong! Forums are filled with know it all's who preach their runoff testing, but in the end they know nothing about the concept of growing and it shows in their replies! Read some books on plants, on growing..and yes..that complicated word called cec lol. ...some rookies will not understand what it means or how it applies to plnats..but it is important if growing in soil or anything that has a cec..as once you understand that..you wont have to wonder what went wrong or how to correct it. If not..you'll be leaving your plants health to amateurs and their empty advice lol
I asked ANC and what he said made since and worked. I understand my understanding is the biggest issue I have. I learned a lot from all of this. Everyone made me think differently and go look up what they said. I feel like I learned a lot during this process. Thanks to all!

Word! And may I add learning to read your plants will tell you volumes more than some number from a meter. The plant reveils the past and how it got there.that's why your grow is going to shit..and more importantly..that's why you have no idea what it is or how to fix it..precisely because you don't understand horticulture and just 'wing' it.

Looking good, keep it up! Just watch the nitrogen, she appears a touch bit dark, but maybe it's genetics..new growth looking nice dude, good job
I rolled it back. seen a few spots and the dark green made me think I was burning her. Better to starve her so I rolled it backLooking good, keep it up! Just watch the nitrogen, she appears a touch bit dark, but maybe it's genetics..new growth looking nice dude, good job
Looks great...you may have to start training her soon.
Put them on today to pull down the big leaves. Started to do nothing but was about to post new pictures and ask if I should trim her back. Wasn't sure with it being a auto
Hey Lennut.
Glad your plant is doing well.
I just stumbled across a great article, about coco coir, by CANNA.
I thought it was fantastic reading.
Thought you might think so too.
Happy grow mate.

It depends about trimming...auto's in that sense, are not much different than regular pheno's..some strains may not react well to it, it can stress some types longer than other's, and being auto's, they cant lose too many days on recovery over growing. You have to be careful which leaves you remove as well. Some auto's can take longer to finish, so those may not be as affected. Check up on your strain and see what other growers had to say about it. Lst though is almost a must to get the most out of her!
