bluebear, what do you adjust your pH to?

[Shallow Hal]

looks sweet bear and like i told u coco is a dream to work with. dusto u can keep ur ph between 6 and 7 but i find that 6.3 is around the best in coco. on another note u wanna try the GH ripen for the last 14 days or so bear . it really helps finish the plants and leech the N outta them.

[dusto2k3]

thanks ?Hal, thats really good news to hear as i'm already adjusting the ph to 6.3. Sick.

The Hanna phep4 is the best tool i've ever purchased

[dusto2k3]

so bluebear, you dont think rez temp is that big of a deal, doing a drip system into coco?

[BlueBear]

Hal, you were one of my inspirations when I started the coco journey and I am glad you answered so many questions when I was the one asking. I will probably pick up some ripen when I run out of Clearex.
Personally I adjust my PH to 5.8/5.9 and it works, but Hal does differently and has great success so I imagine that either will do.
With drip temps, I don't believe that it is as detrimental as a full on hydro set up, but never the less, roots love cool water feedings even when in soil, but I would say that what ever temps you can get away with in soil can be workable in coco. Beyond that I can't say much, except for maybe one thing, one grower who helped to persuade me to try coco who is a mod on another board was converted him self when he went to his brother and laws house and saw his coco grown plants thriving in Australian temps while he himself was having a terrible battle with DWC.
Thanks for stopping in folks.

We switched to Coco about 10 days ago, got 30 odd plants growin at an amazing rate, temps sometimes in the high 80's but they seem to love it, to grow a full 12 inches in a week, unbelieveable..

Ya know....I was thinking of doing a NFT next but this looks to have a much better work/reward ratio. If I ever want to add plants well I got to really rebuild my setup with this just add a plant and bam. Easy to move around if needed also....im not sure what I would do if I had to move a 15 gal tub of water with roots that cant dry up.
