Hey everyone, pretty new grower here been at it about a year previously doing super soil grows. I got sick of any gnats at all as tent is in our bedroom so I decided to switch to coco and try replicating any of nebulas numerous grow journals. The main question I have is around watering/ how you utilize your coco.
1. are you treating it like soil in your journals or are you treating it like hydro with high frequency fertigation?
2. I am asking mainly becase it seemed for me the nutrient amounts in the journals using dyna gro were way to low for me (1 - 1 1/4 tsp per gallon). But I think my issue may have been the way I was watering as I was trying high frequency watering and doing tons of monitoring of runoff Ec/input ec. Also think I watered to much when small. I have found I needed like 1.5 tsp per gallon of foliage pro during veg, and close to two teaspoon of bloom to get target ec in my mixed water.
would I not have to worry about all this as much if I treated more like soil? How do you all use your coco? Just trying to understand how it is done in Nebulas grow journals. In addition when using dyna gro foliage pro and bloom do I also need cal mag in coco? (I have been using it). I really like the no bugs in coco, but watering twice a day to runoff and draining runoff is too much.
currently growing three autos in a 4x2x5 with kingbrite 3500k
thanks in advance and for all the info on the site. It has been such a wealth of knowledge.
