what happens when we do let it dry out, i mean like when the pot is dry and its 2" deep dry from the top, does this cause problems?no u shouldnt let coco dry out... its hydro so u arent going to overwater them.

Yes, you should add nutes everytime just like any other type of hydro.Wow I have things all mixed up now. So in coco how do i know when to water? And I have to give nutes everytime? This is my first time using coco I apologize. I'm using the same water/feed techniques I used in ffof soil.
Looks like u got several deficiencies going on Mg N and possible Ca P... Probably partially from lock out due to your high pH, but I also think you may need to raise the strength of your nutes unless you have experienced fert burn at higher a EC. Also, a few heavy waterings with the nutrient solution pH'd to 5.6-5.8 with plenty of run off should pull your pH back to a better range.
Deficiencies are extremely common in the first 2 weeks of flowering.
Foliar feeding with a mild complete/semi-complete nutrient solution or kelp extract will be the fastest and most efficient way to take additional action... You can use epson salt for the Mg def and it should be fine to combine with a kelp product... Compost teas are good too.

I have a detailed post about watering coco somewhere back there but according to canna, the proper time to water is when the coco has lost half its water weight. Meaning that after you water the plant and it has drained you should pick up the plant/comtainer and get a idea of how much it weighs right after watering... then when the container has lost about half its weight it is time to water again.
If you have a lot of plants they will dry out at slightly different times which may make it hard to decide when to water the crop... In a situation where you have a lot of plants then a good rule of thumb to keep things simple is to water when 50% of the total number of containers have lost 50% of their water weight.
Everyone who has pm'd me or asked here, i am still getting to ya... just been poppin in real quick when i have a minute and answering the shorter easier posts but im not tryin 2 fade anyone and will answer ur Q's asap
After reading a lot and experimenting with my onwn, Jberry is right as always, in both respects, in that you must water when the medium feels half it's weight in water retention. So, if you have a big plant in a medium that is small then it will drink a lot more than a plant that is in a way too big pot. Since it is a hydro medium you want to water as much as possible. So keep them in a smaller pot at which is effective to water a couple times a day. Watering every day, at least, will keep your yields up and gain much weight and growth. Trust me on this!Thanx alot jberry I'll keep all of that in mind. All 3 clones are showing signs of recovery which is always good. I'll keep up with feeding with nutes everytime.
Pukka,hi i was just wonderin if it was ok to take a cutting off a plant in flower12/12 and then switch the light bk to 18/6 and veg it or will it totally fuck it up?
if you can could some one please explain how?
hi lester thanks for gettin back to me think i might giv it go cheersPukka,
It really depends on the strain of plant. Some strains can do this and others have a real hard time doing it. For instance, I have done this with diesel and tried the same time with chem dawg to no avail. I would suggest going to straight 24 hour light if you do try it.
Also, it depends on how long the flowering one has been in flower that will dictate if it will clone.
Just my 2 cents from experience.

that isnt a good idea. alot of experinced growers wouldnt recommend this becouse of tress ect ect bla bla = problems. so just take cuttings before you put in flowerhi i was just wonderin if it was ok to take a cutting off a plant in flower12/12 and then switch the light bk to 18/6 and veg it or will it totally fuck it up?

I do agree with Nas2007 that it isn't a good idea. It can be done but will always seem to be done with less than favorable results. And will take longer than not in flowering already.that isnt a good idea. alot of experinced growers wouldnt recommend this becouse of tress ect ect bla bla = problems. so just take cuttings before you put in flower
1 litre of water per pot every feed, 2 much??? LOOK OK???Growing in b"cuzz coco using ionic nutes!!! First day flowering ....feed tues and sat (with nutes).... 13.5 ltr pots x 9
litres of water per pot?? Nutes??
