You da man! Thanks for giving me this kind of your time good sir. I get what you're saying on the feeding. As far additives. I was thinking that as well. This is my first FULL run with mega crop. Normally I don't start feeding my autos until, usually, full blown flower. At least with coco loco. But it was recommended to me that I begin about week 2ish with 1 gram mega, half gram of the candy, more for the microbes at this point I believe is why that additive was recommended so early. But I have seen quite a few mega crop runs where they too started with low dose candy as well. The mammoth p is every watering, recommended dose. I believe it's half ml per gal. The recharge is every other watering at the half teaspoon per gal rate. Their "normal" dosage I believe. And the cal mag, my thoughts there are honestly, I had a mean cal mag issue last grow. I have been under the impression through the years that, to an extent obviously, you can't really give too much cal mag. Again, for the general public, TO AN EXTENT. haha. Anyway. So that's mostly out of fear. New home new well water thing. So that's my thoughts and/or reasoning to the feeding.
With coco loco, honestly, I have found that a lower to mid 6 ph is right on. Reasoning, at least in my head, is that it ultimately is a soil, just a coco based rather than peat, say like ocean forest. Again, that's in my head and kind of what I've seen works with it. I have tried running lower, as what you should with coco, and did not have good results almost immediately. But I completely understand and agree with what you're saying there.
Now with that all being said. I agree with you and that was my first thought. I have not checked runoff on them yet, as for me, they are just now large enough not to drown them in their 3 gals. I plan on running a few tests over the this week. I'm not giving up on these ladies. Hey man, I can not tell you thank you enough for your time and help here. And I hope we're not done communicating. I'm hoping, that the over abundance of soil microbes I apparently love to straight pump into this coco loco hahaha, that it is having a drastic effect on water/soil ph. If you follow me there. I'd like to let you know how it goes from here, if you don't mind? I'm going to run straight ph adjusted water through, not so much a flush, but I'd like to see some decent runoff from the center under the pot if you know what I mean. I'm going to check ph on the first bit of run off, vs the last. Compare, think, laugh. Then report back here what I'm finding. Then repeat that in a few days when the next good watering is needed. My guess, 4-5 days ath this height and condition in their playroom. Ha. What do think about that plan?
