Green house powder feeding recommendation

[anolis]

Hi all,

I realise that adding nutrients depends on the strain, soil and the fertiliser you are using. So I am wondering if anyone has any advice for my specific situation.
I planted a gorilla cookies auto seed in 5 parts coco coir and 2 parts perlite. The coco coir contains nutrients: nitrogene: 60 mg/L, phosphate: 40 mg/L, potassium: 400 mg/L and pH is 5.0-6.5.

I bought green house´s feeding powder- short flowering but I have no idea when I should start adding nutrients and how much. I read many times that people think you should use less than what the company recommends, which is why I prefer to ask for advice of people that have experience with using this supplement.

I am only growing one plant in a pot inside my appartment, so I am trying to do it in a simplified way, no tents and measuring pH.

I appreciate your help

What brand and what type of coco is this? Most coco has little to no nutrients coco is basically hydro in most situations. Some folks do use coco with dry amendments but pretty sure they amended the coco pretty heavy to start with

It isn´t any known brand. Here is a more detailed description of nutrients.

Is there feeding instruction for it? I'd follow that if possible and start around 60% strength then wait and see how it goes always can add more but it's hard to remove anything

If you were asking about the fertiliser, it is called Green House. For coco substrates is says to use at every feeding, I am not sure if this refers to the kind of subtrate I am using? I just wanted to check if following this instructions is good or if I should lower the amount and when I should feed my plant for the first time considering the coco coir already has the above mentioned nutrinents. Thanks for your help!

Mainly the coco to see what it said as far as when to feed I imagine what's in there isn't going to last long but that's little bit above me. I grow in coco and am feeding from day 1 just low ppm 250-300ppm to start then raising it after the first week. So to answer question not sure when you should start but yes usually start at lower amounts and work your way to manufactures recommendations. Most the time Auto's are fine at 60-80% strength for photoperiods

Thanks! I will do that

That coco has NPK but no Ca in it or am I missing that part?

Yea, only NPK it seems. I only now found out that coco is very different to soil and everything that comes with that. Since this was coco from a block it is probably unbuffered. Not sure if one can buffer it if there is perlite alredy in? Or is it better to just dump it and buy the buffered one...

I'd try to return it for something else if you can. The buffering is gonna throw off the NPK and you're just gonna start off chasing problems around. You could flush it and buffer on your own though
