Dont let the coco dry out ever. I mean you can to encourage root growth but Grat3ful H3ad, over on IC has success watering everyday from when he plants seeds (day 1).
I use radicle grow bags which blow ordinary fabric pots out of the water. I was running Canna nutes (a+b and Pk 13/14. Everything else isnt worth spending money on because it makes little difference. Boost foliared lasts forever). This coco run im currently on is nothing but Mega Crop.
I heard from Guru, on the dude grows show, that amending coco throws off that balance between the buffering and the cation exchange capacity between coco and the nutrient youre trying to use. Re using coco is a bad thing as well he says that when you reuse coco (especially if its used in salt intensive fertilizing programs) its gonna slowly lose that charge(CEC I believe) and once it loses that charfe you start to run into some weird ph (looks like PH) and micro and macro nutrient deficiencies. If you re use coco you lose that consistency and control.
Also avoid high concntrations of Na in your feed. This messes with the cation exchange.
EC and PH runoff in coco arent accurate. As long as you feed between 5.8-6.3 the exceptional buffering capabilities of coco will keep ph in check.
I transplant from rockwoolto coco and all goes smooth.
If using canna coco nutes, 7-8ml/gal is a good dose. Use Pk at around 2.5mls/gal in weeks 2-5 of flower.
If you want to multifeed then I suggest to never go beyond 1.4 EC. If you do even with excessive runoff their will eventually be build up thus creating lockout and even worse burn.
Contrary to popular believe or maybe im just a dumbass (Canna says growing in coco is idiot proof in their brochure) if you do not have the proper ratios of nutrients and you see deficiencies. Do not add what you think you need to add, for example, you see a calcium deficiency. Dont add calcium. Most often your nutrient ratios will be off. Ever heard of antagonism or synergism.
Coco can be a real bitch (at least for my dumbass). Im starting to slowly master this media. I suggest heading over to International Cannagraphic (sorry AFN) they have stickies over there that get down to explaing all the cation exchange, buffering, etc., its the best forum for coco info honestly. But I like it here too. Good luck man!!
