Hi GT

I got to renew my VIP tomorrow G.T has made the best community over there. Love to support this community.

[@dylanstaton1601]

I feed every time in coco that’s the point of it to always have the same ec in the coco. That’s also why you feed until runoff to avoid salt buildup

[@WelcometoTheGrowTent]

Way to much food

[@ev25zv]

@@WelcometoTheGrowTent Love you GT, but because it's inert, it's hydro. You can (and it's best to) feed multiple times per day, so long as you go to runoff and feed the EC that you would maintain in a DWC reservoir.

[@WelcometoTheGrowTent]

@@ev25zv love you to brother, but coco is not hydro

[@nickthorne5872]

@@WelcometoTheGrowTent The reason that he said it is hydro is because coco or coco/perlite in a felt pot can be compared to something like a perlite dutch bucket / bato bucket system using hydroponic nutrients in a reservoir. The only difference is that the coco holds moisture for way longer than just perlite so watering schedules are spaced out a lot more, and because of that, most people do manual watering instead of a reservoir system on a timer. Whether or not to called inert coco in a pot a hydroponic system remains to be clarified 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@everennui1]

​@WelcometoTheGrowTent I feel there is some confusion about Coco Coir because a lot of Coco that people buy off the shelf is an amended mix. 100% Coco can be used as a medium in a hydroponic system. I agree with the OP. Feeding should be every day. Coco Loco is basically soil. Unamended Coco Coir will require about 3 times the water of Coco Loco. Coco Loco requires about 6.3-6.5 pH whereas as Coco Coir requires about 5.8.

This was a great video, i learned just how far, far away I was from being where I need to be on my most recent attempt. I regret not paying more attention to you and your videos. I avoided them due to the lack of actual flower videos. I didn’t realize how incredible both Patreon and the discord really was. Truly this is a learning process. I have seen every Mr. Canucks video. What I have never seen as any real interaction between him and his thousands of viewers. He’s an incredibly talented grower, and equally talented video editor. He hasn’t posted for a while and I wish he would. But I’m so impressed with your discord family and my interactions so far with GT.

Just remember when growing in Coco not to let the plants dry out and elevate the pots because you don’t want it to suck the runoff back up or your salts and your ppm will get really high

[@bobbycarvalho535]

I used to grow in soil and watered when the pot was light it was easy I had good results but when I switch to Coco I ordered twice a day and the results I couldn't believe was night and day explosive growth water to run off I'm using flora flex in two weeks my roots was coming out of the cups in soil it took me almost a month to cease a little bit of roots come out the cup bottom of the cup Big difference problem is it's more time consuming I have to empty my trays all the time they're always full of water when I'm feeding them That's the only problem but I'm going to set up a system that catches all the water runs into a bucket that way I just empty the bucket Coco's the way to go for me

[@johnquinn3128]

Great video GT

[@avillalobos4029]

Thanks for the info ! Was really confused

[@Mean_Mr_Grinch]

I did super soils similar to Mr. Canucks for a few grows. You only need to feed once. The initial mix should carry you through veg, then you up-pot for flower. That will carry you another 30 days. Around week 3 of flower you finally feed (top dress). It works out perfectly for 8-9 week strains because you run out of nutrition around week 7.

[@WelcometoTheGrowTent]

that is 3 feedings, anytime you add top dress or transplant you are adding more/ feeding

[@BileDuctBalderdash]

That's great and all but it's cultivar dependent I've had some cultivars that eat like crazy and then some that don't eat it all hardly. Nothing's ever cut and dry when it comes to growing.

I grow in Coco and I use Tupur from Royal Gold. I've used a bunch of different brands of Coco but none of it was as good as Tupur, so I just use that only now and don't try other brands because I just don't get the same results in other brands. It stays hydrated longer than the other brands I used and it was way cleaner coco too. 💯🖖👽

[@187killerbudd]

If you are using dry amendments for your feeding after a month in ocean forest you can just use water, but you still need to check you ph and dechlorinate your water for 12-24hrs before use with an air pump and air stones. I am a no till living soil and I use water only till I get to flower and all I can use are compost tea and water.

Sounds like a pain lol

[@187killerbudd]

This was a very good video but you didn’t get into that coco will hold your nutrients for 4-6 months and leach the nutrients out slower then normal and is one of the reasons it is used in n super soil’s and living soil. Now down to feeding depending on your plants and how you amend your soil or the company that made your soil and amended it. So ocean forest one of the good compost soils out and with that soil even with liquid nutrients should be done once a month to keep salt levels down in your soil and you won’t get nutrient lock out. Now a living soil I am trying out and it is sohum soil and in the beginning I thought it was garbage till my plants took off, now mind you this is not a compost it is a living soil so no feeding till flower and you use compost tea’s. Your plants will only take up so much per day no matter what size it is and transplanting will definitely help you on feeding the s you are using liquid nutrient with dry you need to feed way less and with a super soil to me is the easiest way to grow nothing but water till flower .
