@Eekman - that should be ok. EC meters are more forgiving than pH, in any case, did it come with calibration liquids?
I only ever used Bluelab's which come factory calibrated and doesn't need further calibration. I think they're the only ones that do this

I will investigate Mr. Groff. Thank you both, Root is gonna water again today.

Maybe if someone could let us know if it is okay that not all of the medium is getting wet? Still have that preferred amount of run off 8 liters of Slurry nets about 3/4 cup of run off

Same model, different casing.

Use a tiny screw driver to calibrate, I don't have any solution, but it is supposedly factory calibrated. I do think it is still going strong, all our readings on the water is very consistant. I will track down a solution though.

@Eekman - no rush, it's quite new right? Should be ok. In any case, even if it's slightly wrong EC meters are for general indications. From then on let the girls do all the talking

At this point I generally only water around the base every day, with just a little to refresh the roots. Right now it's really tiny and shooting straight down and just a little sideways. I use canna coco pro, so it's generally nice and moist out of the bag. But when it's too dry, reused, or other brands, I give it a nice first soft soak, yes.

Just avoid "overwatering" or "water-logging" as it is wrongfully referred to. You can't overwater coco, but you can create stagnant oxygen depleted zones.

So if you happen you have droopy plants in long moist coco, and people naturally assume water-logging, the best is NOT to wait an let it dry. The best to do is to shower or "flush" all that coco with fresh solution, so it forces all the air out and replenishes it.

Coco holds aloooot of water. So just take it slow and steady as she grows and it will be perfect. Coco is hard to overdo and underdo. Very practical.

Hope it makes sense, just had me a spliftster :smoking:

Hey Groff,

I got ya, I ain't panicking yet. Deep breaths. In. Out. And thanks for the help too. I came home after work tonight and the gals are getting bigger, will to an official update tomorrow.

Happy my Friday Everyone.

I cant comment at all on the coco as I am all about soil, but I am intrigued to see how the nutes work out! Good luck!

Hello Everyone @Remo Nutrients, and the rest of you all.

Official Remo Nutrients by a newb nute user. I like to call it, "Coco for Dummies" ( @Mossy )

We are at day 14, finishing up the 6ml slurry today, and will start the week 3 regimen as per the Remo Chart. That would be 7ml per gallon. We are pretty much watering full strength, almost every day. I know I am new at this, but I think these gals are looking great for two weeks old.

I picked up some silica, and some organic foliar spray from the local hydro shop. Like walking into a store we used to go into five years ago, nothing new at all, No full spectrum LED's, and nothing in the way of the new stuff we see and test everyday. I brought the REMO brochure with me to show them, but they were smoking pot, lol and were kinda rude. Not every day you go into a place, and the employees are not hiding the joint they are smoking as they walked by us entering the front door. I think the owner lady shoulda went out and took a few pulls off that J. It might have made our experience a better one.

I had the platinum 150 vegging, and they weren't getting lateral growth as much as I had wanted at 26 inches. So I upped it to thirty inches and it is seeming to take that a lot better. Tonight I turned on the Solar storm for more penetration.

We will probably start with the silica tomorrow with the new week of nutes.

Thanks everyone,

This is the foliar spray

Okay Everyone, that's all for today, look for more in a few days.
