Grow Mediums First Coco Grow tips?

[Tyler_Durden88]

Hello everybody im looking to switch my next grow to coco and im asking everyone for tips and the supplies i will need to be successful such as nutes,stabilizers, types of mediums and any tips and things to watch for. Ive seen all the forums on here and theres alot of detailed guides
on the subject but im trying to keep it simple as possible and leave very little room for error. Any feedback will be appreciated.

I use Coco Loco (Fox Farms) and Canna bagged coco and like both. I get great roots with Coco Loco. My last few grows I switched to using rice hulls instead of perlite. Coco will call for more waterings than what is needed for soil.
As far as nutes go, I utilize Canna a&b, Sensi Coco a&b and Fox Farm soluable trio. I will eventually cut at least one of those nutes out. And probably a second one down the road as well. It's too easy to have more nutes than is necessary. Additives I use are Rhiz, Boost, Big Bud & Bud Ignitor.

I just started yesterday and im using the cana coco and 30%perilite and 10%vermiculite. And i got the Advanced Nutrients PH perfect sensi grow a&b and i have all the fox farm nutes as well if i need them and cal-mag. But the sensi grow has all that in it. Only problem im having is that advanced nutrients dosent have detailed instructions and dont answer my e-mails wich pisses me off. What PH is your water? Mines at like 6.4 wich i heard is a little high for coco.

So far I've only used CannaCoco bricks with nothing else added to it, I've rehydrated the bricks with 2ml/L Calmag on my first grow then followed the Hans/Tangs Advanced Nutrient schedule and then on my second I rehydrated with 2ml/L Calmag and 2g/Gallon Megacrop as a start.

My ph is consistently 5.8 - 6.1. 6.4 is high.

I am all in Coco now my plant is 4 Days old and looking soo good...

You need the best quality Coco in my opinion (canna Coco plus, Plagron Coco) this Coco is PH and ready to go without flushing!

Than you need pH and ec tester very important!

And last but not least the right nutrients. I am run now canna Coco a/b, Rhizotonic, cal/mag, pk 13/14


Edit: Ph down is also a must have

Im running canna coco 60/40 to perilite with advanced nutrients ph perfect coco a and b. Im on well water and its a little bit hard i have to filter it to get my ph below 7 and then the nutrients do the rest. my runoff is still at 6.5 but so far so good. Im watering twice a day and some ppl are telling me thats too much.

I've read that many coco growers do not measure coco run off. I don't, but I did when I was in soil. Are you using any ph up/ph down solution?

If the plant calls for watering twice a day, then that is fine. When my pot feels lighter, I water. I have only rarely watered twice in a day with 5 gallon and 3 gallon smart pots. I have some 2 gallon pots as well, but only used once or twice to this point and don't remember how much I watered.
