Lighting Bromeo's Platinum LED test.

[A-Train]

He'll yeah brother. Can't wait to see what she turns into in your tent. Gonna be a nice one for sure

 

[Greensleeves]

GL Mate. Interested to see both new light and 100% coco.

Shweeeeet! Another coco-beast blow-up in the making! That HCO nute line has done really well for you too...I'm looking forward to seeing what this light adds to the Bromeo Lab's equation we've come to know well these days- ...Mmmm, CCB! ... for the DWC, I vote HBBSS for lifting the roof off the Lab I want to hear you complain so I can go- ... plus, the smoke is superb by all accounts! .... -- kill it man!

Alright Bromeo, I want all your dirty little coco secrets!! What are you Ph ing your feeds at? Cal/mag from the start, yes? tap water or RO and what ratio are you mixing your nutes? I dont go by ec, so ppm would be good, but if you dont watch that, are you wingin it? I know you are the coco nut, so spill and teach this dog some new tricks! Heard you cant over water coco, is that true? have you ever had problems getting seedlings going in coco? Will too much water bother the seedlings and stunt them, like in Peat based mediums? Yeah, alot to ask, but I am running coco as we speak for the first time, so I am real interested in your input!

Ok for ph I try to maintain 6.0. I don't use cal-mag from the start. I use Killer Tea for the 1st feedings until some leaves start showing up. Once I start normal feedings I never stray from the Humboldt County's Own printed feeding schedule. I never add extra calmag. I've never had to with Humboldt. On their system the calcium is in the Micro and there's a seperate product for magnesium. I use tap water as long as we aren't under a boil order. Right now I'm using bottled water from Walmart because we are under a boil order. Just the ppm of our tap water is 300plus.

The ppm of the nutrients never exceeds 1000. Humboldt even tells you it should never be above 1000 because their Snow Storm ultra forces the plant to uptake everything.

I don't keep coco overly wet when they are seedlings but once they are established I don't think you can over water. Coco dries out very fast. It's doesn't stay soggy like peat does.

I'd like to say there's secrets and be all mysterious about it but the fact of the matter is I just follow the nutrient companies feeding schedule to the letter.

I think the most important think to coco is regular rinses. Coco stores excess salts and regular rinsing removes the build up and makes it easier to maintain a consistent ph balance.

Thanks a ton man! Now on the rinses, are you still ph ing the water as well at 6.0?

 

[Bromeo]

Thanks a ton man! Now on the rinses, are you still ph ing the water as well at 6.0?

Yes. I ph the water I rinse with. I also will use a cleansing product from time to time to make it go fast. Like Florakleen.

See, now that the trade secrets I'm talkin about! Thanks a bunch man!

No problem.

KISS magic there Bromeo! ...soooo, are they done yet?
..I recall you taking a dB reading on your P300 unit,... mine is noisy, far more than the 96x3 Mars Reflector... And what do you think of the footprint on it? I'm wishing it was wider, seems the sweet spot is a bit narrow,...
