    COCO COIR Questions about using Canna nutrients in. coco coir grow

    I’m getting ready to try my first grow (indoor grow tent, coco coir). I purchased the Canna Coco A+B nutrients, as suggested at https://www.growweedeasy.com/nutrients. The nutrient schedule from Canna indicates how much to dilute the fertilizer parts A and B at different weeks of the grow (https://www.growweedeasy.com/wp-cont...t-schedule.jpg).

    2 questions.

    1) Everywhere I read, it says to feed at 1/4 or so of the “recommended strength”. Does that hold true for these Canna nutrients, even though I get the impression that they are designed for growing cannabis, and they are fairly dilute compared to some others (1-4-2 and 4-0-1, mixed 1:1 and diluted)?

    2) The nutrient schedule does not say How Often to feed. Do I use the nutrient solution every time the plants need watering, or use it less often, and use pure (pH adhustedj water for some of the watering?

    Thanks for your comments.

    1. They say to use quarter or half dose when plants are very small and work your way up as they grow. Better to start with a low dose because you can always add more. If you over do it you can stun the plant and that takes longer to recover

    2. I grow in coco and give them nutrients every single watering. You gotta find what works for you. When you give pure water it doesn't need to be pH adjusted. If your water is low ec then it won't affect the root zone ph
