Been searching all over trying to find the right answer for this but it seems I cant get a consensus. Always thought 5.6 hydro 6.0 coco 6.5 soil. IM seeing people using 5.6 and less for coco? and I ve been told to rum it as high as 6.5???!!! Opinions?

What you are finding here, is that coco tolerates a wide PH range and can be treated as hydro, but not as soil.
Anything from 5.2 to 6.5 will work with coco.
I usually run around 5.6 but it's best to "sweep the range" to see that nothing gets locked out.
Hope dat he'p.

THanks man,
Ill drop her down to 5.6 since I am using hydro nutes on em
do you feed everytime or every other? Doing a half and half coco/pertilite, hand waters with advanced nutes, thanks again
Yer quite welcome, brah.Quote:

But, I add CalMag to every watering and I test the run-off every time.
That's the best way to know what to use for the next watering.
Keep a close eye with the hand watering.
As the roots fill the pots the intervals will get shorter.
Best to heft each pot several times a day.
The weight will tell you exactly when to water.
Here's a tip
The only way to screw-up a coco grow is to let it dry out completely.
That, can kill the entire root:(
Don't ask:o

hmm got ya, what kind of nutes do you use? do you think the cal mag is something that coco requires?
I know that it does.Quote:

Our Island water has little of either so it's a must here.
I learned that the hard way.:D
