First time in coco myself. Followed the advice of another fella on here and went with a pH of 5.8 throughout the grow.
Everything has gone fairly well so far. Watering every 2 days

Hi brother! My first grow this time in coco so i jumped in at the deep end to be honest. Had a few fuck ups with PH but now ok. Currently on 5th week of flower (take a look at my latest threads for pics) and all is going well! Just remember to keep your PH set at 5.8 everytime going in and ul be fine. Also its treated very differently than soil because its an inert medium meaning it only feeds what it takes in. I flush every 7th watering an feed every time. Dont do a cycle like water, water, feed or feed, water...make sure ufeed every time. Other than that i havnt had any major problems to be honest. Pretty pleased with how its all gone! Hope it goes as well for you! Good luck buddy

I can't tell you much, but I have read from many that you want the PH like you say you have.
(Hydro PH)
Good luck! Been doing your reading, huh.

Cal/Mag is a Coco growers right hand tool , to the left as mentioned a Ph meter .. I grow in Coco and my Ph of feed ranges from 5.8-6.2 depending on what stage of growth they are in and it also depends on the strain , some like it more sour than others ..

Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies are very common with Coco as well and depending on the brand used salts can be problematic from the get go , hence most coco growers rinse and charge with Cal/Mag ...

Have fun , Coco is the best of two worlds when watering by hand its like soil but the growth rate is more comparable to Hydro .. Yields are excellent as long as you stay on top of feeding schedules ..

i havnt gotten a chance to look threw your threads but i will go threw them thanx for the reach out and info all is really appreciated so keep keep consistant 5.8 do i water with nutes every feed or same as soil water twice in a row with nutes than just straight ph water for the 3rd feeding if i give them straight nutes would i get salt buid im guessing coco does get salt build up right and with the cal+mag do i feed them cal+mag everytime its time to water or is it the same as the nutes feed twice in a row than just straight plain ph water do i have to balance out the ph in the coco just like soil if the run off is a lil low or high would i have to try and raise the ph in coco with playing with a higher ph in water or lower ph in water which coco brand would u guys suggest for clones how low or high should i start my ppms i use AN at the moment but planing on switching over to GH but that wnt b till another year or two lol i got a shit load of AN i use sensi 2 part, gh cal+mag, molasses thats what i use for veg i dnt think i can play with the ppms once in flower but wat would u guys suggest for ppms for started clones i dnt want to fry them im srry if im confusing if i am just lmk ill explain it as clearly as possible by the time i look threw the threads and other threads ill probably answer my own questions but any lil 411 is appreciated this wouldnt just help me but others trying to learn about coco once again thank u brotha srry for all the questions i just wnna make sure i go about the right way and best way not to fck up +rep brotha and i wnna thank u guys for not bashing on me lmao

He is saying when you flush make sure you flush with a small amount of nutrients. You don't want to strip the micro nutrients and the beneficial bacteria out of your meduim. And flushing with straight water will do that. Make sure your Ph is around 5.8. I don't think you should use cal/mag every feed once or twice a week should be fine. Keep your medium fairly moist, don't dry out your plants. Use prewashed coco, I use canna coco with house and garden nutrients. Starting out cheap in the beginning will cost you in the end. You could use brick style coco that needs to be rinsed and be ok, but I find more than not people run into problems with that stuff.

Peace
Salt

Deffo what salt said, i use canna coco also and everythings going ok! On your flush day i didnt mean flush with 3x the weight of the medium and all that bullshit. As long as your flushing with about 30% run off with very low nutes with a PH at 5.8 you should be fine. I always feed everytime with around 20-30% run off. This is important because of salt build up like you said before. Of what ive read people higher there PH in flower to around 6.0 mark which i dont no why because your only getting sulphur as an added extra and ur locking out others? But anyway. Good luck!

Your problem with burning them at 3 weeks in veg could have been because FFOF is high in nutrients. Dont think your supposed to feed for a month in that stuff. Think I read it on here.
