Began germination on 5/24/19 seeds popped on 05/25/19 and placed in the medium at a pinky knuckle depth. LSD-25 broke ground on 05/26/19 and the cream cookies and mamba negra broke ground this morning. Temperatures have been steady between 71 at lights out and 85 with lights on, the RH has been steady at 60 at lights out and 55 with the lights on. Lights are on between the hours of 8pm and 4pm giving them a 20 on 4 off cycle. I’ll be starting a light feed the 3rd day after the true leaves have shown.

So after doing more research apparently coco coir is a hydro medium and should not be watered with just plain water.... so I’m experimenting I guess went ahead and gave the gals some big bloom, grow big and mammoth p with today’s watering ph was around 5.5. the babies looked a little dehydrated so I’m going to monitor them and see if I made the right move or not I guess we’ll see! If not then I’m going back to what I know and have used as a medium before.

I've been using Coco Loco for a few years and really like it and I supercharge my pots (Rhizotonic/calmag) when getting ready to drop germed seeds. I ph around 5.7/5.8. Hopefully your grow will be "all that and a bag of chips". Good luck.

This is my first time ever using this medium so I had no idea I had to use anything from jump street until just last night as I stayed up researching when and how to feed using ff trio and coco loco. Thank you for your input tho it’s very much appreciated!

Following I’ve been interested in coco loco for awhile.... been using coco bricks for some time now. Buty hydro shop has cocoloco and it’d be much easier than rehydrating bricks lol.

thoughts on drip irrigation I just feel like this would benefit my grow much better with having to do a feed every watering I can already have it made up then hit it with the sledgehammer when need be.... I dunno thoughts opinions

I use halo rings attached to a manifold and then a larger 17 gallon reservoir which works very well for my set up. I manually hit the switch in the AM and later on in the PM but I only mix nutes up every 4-5 days.
