COCO COIR GJ3: Wizard's 7th grow and first with coco

Mornin' everyone,

After finishing up my fall grows, I've disinfected the entire grow room, supplies, and tent to the best of my abilities (WPM). Decided to change it up since my nutes were low and try a coco grow. I believe this is my 7th grow and have been pretty happy with my soil results but just felt like mixing it up. I followed the GWE tutorial to rehydrate the bricks overnight w/ tap water and Cal-Mag. Just need to PH and add the perlite, add to the fabric pots. Here's the grow info. Any coco tips are welcome! I'll be using GWE's nute schedule as well. The seeds were sprouted in a paper towel and are now in rapid rooters. I am going to skip the solo cup / small planter and put it straight into the 5 gallon. Never had any problems with this.

2 x 4 x 5 grow tent
6" inline fan w/ carbon filter (passive air intake)
Two 6" fans in tent for airflow
260w Niemi LED w/ LM301H
Coco coir w/ perlite
General Hydroponics Flora Trio plus CaliMagic

Hi WizardsNThings i am almost 7 weeks into my 1st coco grow with NL x blue berry and WW autos. I am impressed. I followed Nebula's tutorial exactly https://www.growweedeasy.com/coco-coir I water until the fabric pot feels light but im currently battling Fungus Gnats. I am sure they came from pre made coco soil from a local hydro store! Good luck!

the thing with coco and I grow in coco. is that if you dont have a run off then salts build up in your coco and will cause lock out ,I got to a point where I flushed the girls once a month . then I decided to install a auto feeding system ,They really like getting fed 4 times a day
 
I grew a couple of years watering coco every 3 days it works ,so have fun if you ever get to a point where you want to try an auto watering /drain system let me know I still have a parts list
 
Day 11: Seems like they have barely changed in 5 days since my last post. They look kind of weird and definitely seem to be going slow. Not sure if it's the seeds or something else. Didn't have any issues with this setup last time, but this is the first time in coco.

I think you'll like Coco, Wizard. Hard to over-water and I've had minimal pest problems. As you probably already know, your plants are establishing their Root System and will "Take Off" when they're done.

Good luck with your grow!
 
My 2 cents is that you started in too big a container. I tried that too and my girls took forever to grow. Started a couple in a solo cup and they grew at least twice as fast after germination. That could account for stunted growth. They''ll bounce back when the roots grow out enough and they will look great i bet!
 
I cant comment on soil, which is what i am guessing your previous grows were in from the title, but this is just what i have found to be easiest in coco for me. I might cut a clear plastic bottle like a water bottle in half and put it over the seedling like a humidity dome for a little bit.
 
Yeah it was soil. I'll keep that in mind next time if I do coco. I followed the GWE tutorial which didn't really say either way was better. The dome is a good idea. One is already perking up
