"weezard: i actually happen to have some coco in brick form right now, have you tried using the coco with the one fert for cannabis? if so how was your yield and how problematic was it?"
Yes, of course. Grow for veg, Bloom for flower.
Getting about 1 z .per plant 'cause I keep 'em short, (under 3 feet), and I use LEDs 'cause we pay dearly for electricitry here.
I gotta ask what you are using for light?
Weeze
Yes, it's that simple.Quote:

120 ppm from the tap.
ok i already got some calmag also, i am using a 400 watt hps
Hopefully this will solve my indoor grow problems and if so, i owe you one. This year i do plan on trying outdoor and still need a soil that has some nutes because i probably wont be able to make it to my plants everyday or every week for that matter. I found a 16 quart bag of ffof for $47, expensive but i will buy it if nobody knows anything better for outdoor low maintenance soil.

Once they start to dim, well, let's just say the drop in light is not linear.
After 2 years they are just about worthless.
Only other advice I can give on this is to start slow with the nutrients.
For clones and seedlings, start with plain, or just Calmag, water. 1/4 tsp. nutes after the first week or two, then 1/2 tsp. etc.
I really cant tell you exactly when to increase the nutes, but the plants will indicate their needs.
You just have to connect with their little green asses to figure out what they're whining about.:jointsmile:
Coco can look dry on top and still be too moist to water so lifting the pot is the best way to judge dryness.
Best of luck with it.

yeah i know about replacing the light and i always start with very low doses of nutes. will keep that in mind about pot weight and coco thanks for the help.
did you use appropriate fertilizer with the soil? Your right it is probably soilless. When i had the $ to play with id get one bag of ocean forest and mix that along with 2 promix bails, added perlite, vermiculite, coco fiber(for water retention) along with two bags of black gold bark-stuff mix and some peat moss. This soil would take any plant through veg and into flower without the need of ferts and if i were a plant id freaking love sleeping in it! If ferts were present in the water itd usually burn the plants. PH test your custom blend to ensure its around ph7.
Hey fill out a grow problem form and people can help you. if your using a 400watter and can't finish with more then 10grams I would say its not the soil more factors are a muck. I do fine with just about any soil. What strain are you using? bagseed and crappy lights and ave soil produce more then what you have yielding, try to regroup and go over your setup and work things up a bit. outdoors can be fun, indoors can be tricky as I am finding but still 10g sux for a 400watter. any pics of what your doing?
the 10~gram plant was grown under a 150 watter
the 10~gram plant was grown under a 150 watter and the strain was Caramelicious (website states excellent for beginners) and currently i am growing Pure Power Plant . No camera, no pictures sorry. From how its looking right now I expect to yield around 2.5oz from my 4 PPP plants. Right now what i am doing is very simple no pictures needed, I am growing in seedling soil (same as any other peat based crap)I water them with foxfarm grow big in veg and tiger bloom in flower with every watering and flush bi-weekly water ph after nutes added 6.8-6.6. Plants are about 6 inches under the light because the light has no reflector and i have a fan on the plants at all times so temps are not that high at all. I have asked about my plants problems in that section but its hard to get help without a camera.
Anyways i will soon know if it is the medium or not as i have some foxfarm on the way for outdoor grow and I am gonna take weezards advice and try coco for my next plant.
