Sup Scotty 👊 Im Growing in coco buffered with calmag, humic and fulvic acids and in my nutrient tank i use a 3 part salts that has a coco micro i also add silica for thicker cell walls and stems and amino boost to help with nutrient uptake...
If you buffered the coco before and reuse it I would say yes and no. yes bec of nutrient build up and salts from the last grow will still be in there and most likely be to high of a EC/PPM for seedlings or clones. and no bec you already buffered the coco before so the cal mag should still be bounded to the coco coir. And as long you don't have 600 plus ppm coming out from the run off I don't see a reason to flush and re buffer again since when you go water the fresh seedlings or clones you will be feeding naturally low ppms around 200-400ppm which will flush it out and re add some cal mag back into the coco. and always use atleast 50-125ppm of cal mag per watering or you will see cal mag problems. cheers
I bought two bags of Scotts organic topsoil for my bearded dragon cage. I decided to add the extra to my soil bin and some to the new pots being filled for seeds. I ended up throwing it all away. The fungus gnats were horrible with watering. Sitting around outside in Walmart compared to the ones that I bought from home depot. Never from Walmart again. Just moved to coco for weed. Nope I did not buffer.....
@@lunarminx I was buying fox farm soil from the local nursery and it had fungs gnats I could stop them eventually but every time I open the tent gnats fly...not for me
@mikehancho1613 hey is there any I could get any advice from you brother im going to start a grow next week and in coco+perlite and just need to an experts help
Hossfarms Stick with canna coco and canna coco nutes for veg, but please try the Athena Blended coco nute range for bloom. Do a side buyside and thank me later :-)
Been using a mixture of 50% coco-loco, 30% happy frog 20% perlite- paired with build a soil amendments/compost... super simple with great results time after time. Just so ppl know the grow dots work great with that soil mix as well, I'm quite suprised at the results it produces
Coco is the best! I still use the cheap bricks, rinsed a few times in tap water until it runs clear, then a few hours soak in cal-mag'ed RO water. I use an old bubble bag in a 5 gallon bucket as the sieve, never had any magnesium issues during growth.
Love ya man... thanks for all the great info and entertainment over the years. I dont even mind the interrupting, cause you always have something good to say
I am loving the recharge & growdots bro I thought those were a joke I swear to God so I finally tried the little sample $10 pack. What a freaking amazing product brother seriously good job man well done feeding cannabis the easy way forever.
I use Canna Coco bricks . Same quality as their loose coco and triple washed and buffered. I run Masterblend drain to waste . Never so much as a single deficient or toxic leaf and run the same formula seed to harvest. Coco for the win
I tried the egg shells and it didn't work. So I just sucked it up and got The small bottle of cal mag. A little bit goes a long way Besides you only need Enough to apply it To a few feedings per plant Depending on your methods.
Thanks, brother! I grow coco-coir/perlite (Mother Earth) with worm castings and Recharge (inspired by you long ago) as a base medium in an ebb and flow hydroponics system. I always buffer using cal/mag, regardless if it says it is already washed and buffered. I love the results. I still run a diy soil medium tent (because I started in soil and have left over soil and nutes, lol), but the coco gives me better results in comparison.
I’m growing in Mother Earth right now. I tried ocean forest (that shit is junk) on my first plant and it’s been in poor health the entire grow. Almost 2 month veg and still not ready to flip. Put a chemdog seed in Mother Earth and it’s growing its 2nd set of leaves right now. It’s doing better than the first plant ever thought about doing. Many people grow in soil but I don’t think I’m one.
I recently started using the coco bricks. You have to set them in water and they absorb and then you mix it by hand. It is amazing. I’ve got two new plants growing in it and then I took it and mixed it with some Fox farm high-quality nutrient soil mix 3 to 1. I’ve got the biggest plants I’ve ever had and literally I don’t add any nutrients and I don’t have root rot❤
I used Royal Gold Tupur Coco blend last run, had some decent results but I'm never satisfied and always searching for the perfect medium. This run I'm using Pro-Mix HP for the first time, it's aaaright I'm not jumping for joy some strains are doing Well others not so much. For Black Friday I ordered more bags of Tupur and also FloraFlex's loose Coco bags which is supposed to be High Quality. I use their nute line a lot.
Happy frog soil with some veg garden compost, earthworm casting, and green sand blended in sorks well for my first plant northern lights auto about 1-3 days from harvest right now. IM SO EXCITED!!!
New UK grower first in sohum living soil and my second will be in dr organics 💚but love the video very informative and may give this a go in the future 💚🙏
Scotty, I flipped to flower at 45 days, grabbing recharge, silica and fish poop, also have the fox farm trio. should I be good to go Nutrient-wise? half coco, half ocean forest used in last grow also.
🤙Your doing awsum guys, keep pumping out that gooooood info. I se better cannabis being grown over all in the future thx to the passion in your green harts. Respect 🙏
Canna also sell a half coco, half peet type of soil mix too. Been advised that a good soil mix, is a bag of that + bag of canna coco + mixed bag of clay pebbles & perlite, of the same weight as a bag of Canna coco etc... Is a really good no fuss, stable & sturdy medium, that still remains aerated & drains off run off well too. It's still predominantly a 3/4 canna coco soil mix... That this other canna coco/peet soil product can benefit balancing into otherwise coco mixes as soil mediums. I've seen his system & the soil mix of a bag mixed up equally of these 3 together. It seems a winner, any advice or opinions tho on this out there?
Lasts say I use Hydro Crunch Coco Coir Block from Amazon. Product claims. Flushed of excess sodium. So what if I hydrate that coco coir with a well balance of nutrients with water. Would that be a big no-no
I used a “buffered and washed” coco product and my stems were purple until I added amendments a few weeks later and all new stem growth was green after that. definitely treat all coco the same haha
@@stangcobra592purple stems usually means it needs more magnesium. It could also be inadequate light. Just bump calmag or make sure you aren’t locking it out somehow.
7 gallon pots for a bigger Yield. Pro mix moisture mix as a potting mix with extra Pearlite. And either Humboldts secret nutrients or Raw nutrients. And a PH kit (Emerald harvests silica Is really good) Also advanced nutrients: Nirvana is technically a tea mix and works as a potency Booster.
Hey Scotty appreciate everything that that you said on your videos I've been really good and I really appreciate it and I'm really curious about this Coco coir I live in Thailand high heat high humidity and the mediums that I get have got funguses in them and I cannot get rid of the fungus so I need to start using Coco coir my question is after I start using or get the Coco coir ready can I actually transplant what I already have in a medium that probably has the fungus can I move it over into the Coco coir not sure if you'll answer me but this is my question brother thank you so much
i use canna coco and canna coco a+b much less issues i do coco + 13mm clay pellets i try to pocket clumps of clay pellets in groups n once im done n pull the core out the pot you can see large spots that air just sits in so the plant can suck in as much as it wants
I like growing and what age do you makes a little bit of a Pete monster and then I use athis Royal.I have a couple of weeks to fertilize my plants.I like all the natural way the old style lady
I wanna grow indoors using coco & grow dots, if I'm gonna veg longer than 4-6 weeks should I use the extended veg grow dots?? I know it says for outdoors but can you use for indoors??
Should I give the seedlings 1ml/Liter of calmag from the start to make sure they have enough? Cause that's what I did. The PH might have been to high as my first ph meter was rubbish. But 1 plant did great but the other 2 had stunted growth, even though I pre washed and buffered the coco. Maybe I should have waited with the cla mag, but I was kinda afraid the coco might still be too sodium rich.
I recently Re potted into cannas coco plus before flower and my roots completely dodged it tap root straight through it to the bottom of the pot/bag and ended up with deficiencys
So for my first grow I tried ocean forest. I’ve had a really bad time with this plant. In veg almost 2 months and not ready to flip yet. I ordered some Mother Earth coco/perlite and this 2nd plant is doing better than the first one ever did. Hoping it’ll catch up with the big plant and I can flip at the same time.
Ocean forest is good if you are transplanting or you do a 50/50 blend of hf/of with 30% perlite. But straight up ocean Forrest being startled in will just burn the hell out of the seed and stunt it
Happy frog is for vegetative growth and ocean Forest is For bloom. One tip that I'll share: At the beginning of the Plants life It creates most of its own Nitrogen by itself
What is the best way to lower the ph in coco mine is going in at 5.6 and coming out at 6.8 how I am using AC Infinity coco and GH 3 part with microbes great white
Do you go with ebb and flow or a drip system? I've been considering switching over from coco and fab pots to rockwool. I just don't know how much more equipment I'd need.
Mixing coir and hydroton. Helps let the water drain more. It can hold onto water too long sometimes. Especially with younger plants that aren’t using as much water. No special ratio. I like about 1/3 to 1/2 hydroton.
I guess i am lucky, never washed or buffered any coco cheap or expensive in the last 15+ years. Not once and can only recall once or twice I had an issue.
Weed is now legal in germany and i started growing it in coco humus because it was the cheapest option for me bought the cocus dirt from a german company hopfully its good at least i think it is my plants are growing fine and look healthy
I like CoCo/Perlite and recently have been running Turface*/Perlite on an experimental scale. I ran my outdoor tomatoes in pure Turface with good results but found it too heavy. The Perlite makes a world of difference It’s keeping up with my Coco Hempys and it isn’t finicky. No buffering or treating, just an initial rinse. *Turface is calcined clay. It’s fired so it won’t break down. Other names are Safe T Sorb at Tractor Supply. Very inexpensive and reusable. JM2¢
Bro I am running Athena proline, handwatering my 4x4 tent all filled with the same plants , but One is super low ph. It’s run off is coming off at 4.0 ph and the others are good at 5.8 but idk why one is low af when I’m using the same feed water and everything edit: I’m using coco .. tupir to be exsct
Me too, I've used it a couple times any advice? Do you add castings? more perlite? right out of bag? What nutes? I use FloraFlex. I got away with watering only once daily I know others do multiple? What ph you feed I like it 6.2-6.4, I know some go under 6.
@@johnquillan4626 what are you talking about? You aware Tupur is neutral 🤔 You can't be simple with an unamended medium, the grower has to input all nutrition.
I'm talking from experience.. The proof is in the top shelf. I'm not saying I don't use certain nutrients just not wasting money on perlite or anything other than pure coco coir. Try it if you don't believe me. Do a side by side grow.. it does need to be a clean pure or some call it washed Coco.
Can cannabis be grown in coco with organic amendments like Dr Earth's or worm castings and other stuff like that? Or do you have to use bottle nutes with coco coir? I'm not interested in mixing nutrs and playing with ppm meters but if I could use regular organic stuff with it I'd try it.
The most natural Route to go for that is Advanced nutrients Sensi grow and sensi bloom They have ones made Specifically for coco And yes you can put Dry organic amendments In Coco but unfortunately You do need a good Base nutrient which is What I recommended Above.
But it does say for plants grown in Coco you'll need a synthetic Nutrient to promote Plant growth. From personal experience I have grown organic In Coco with no Nutes it'll work just Know you get more nugs With synthetic nutrients
You rock brother! I’ve gained so much knowledge from listening to you and the DGC crew over the past few years. Thank you!

Get rid of the coca and perlite and add 20 to 25% hydroton to your living soil.

Question on my first grow with coco when can I start nutes calmag and recharge
You can start nutrients on the first feed. I fertigate my coco with a very light nutrients solution before I even put the seed in.
Coco for the win👍💨✌️
With the grow dots in coco do you have to ph the water? Or is it ph perfect like an?
Is it better than Pete moss with perlite
Should I give the seedlings 1ml/Liter of calmag from the start to make sure they have enough? Cause that's what I did. The PH might have been to high as my first ph meter was rubbish. But 1 plant did great but the other 2 had stunted growth, even though I pre washed and buffered the coco. Maybe I should have waited with the cla mag, but I was kinda afraid the coco might still be too sodium rich.
Hey, I use buffered nutrients, I don’t ph or flush and same nutrients for different plants.
can we mix/use calciuum nitrate and magnesium sulfate together for buffering ?

I ordered some Mother Earth coco/perlite and this 2nd plant is doing better than the first one ever did. Hoping it’ll catch up with the big plant and I can flip at the same time.
Ocean forest is too strong for small plants its loaded on nutrients, use happy frog also small suggestion add some worm castings and some perlite .
@@unknownpker2I agree. Had a problem with ocean Forrest for young plants. Happy frog is doing the trick. One month in and no problems so far.
Ocean forest is good if you are transplanting or you do a 50/50 blend of hf/of with 30% perlite. But straight up ocean Forrest being startled in will just burn the hell out of the seed and stunt it

I ran my outdoor tomatoes in pure Turface with good results but found it too heavy. The Perlite makes a world of difference It’s keeping up with my Coco Hempys and it isn’t finicky. No buffering or treating, just an initial rinse.
*Turface is calcined clay. It’s fired so it won’t break down. Other names are Safe T Sorb at Tractor Supply. Very inexpensive and reusable.

Love cocco jus careful of the ph swings
Bro I am running Athena proline, handwatering my 4x4 tent all filled with the same plants , but One is super low ph. It’s run off is coming off at 4.0 ph and the others are good at 5.8 but idk why one is low af when I’m using the same feed water and everything edit: I’m using coco .. tupir to be exsct
Royal gold tuper never let's me down
Used it the last 4 grows. Excellent stuff 🍻
Me too, I've used it a couple times any advice? Do you add castings? more perlite? right out of bag? What nutes? I use FloraFlex. I got away with watering only once daily I know others do multiple? What ph you feed I like it 6.2-6.4, I know some go under 6.
You don't need to buy so many different things.. keep it simple
@@johnquillan4626 what are you talking about? You aware Tupur is neutral 🤔 You can't be simple with an unamended medium, the grower has to input all nutrition.
I'm talking from experience..
The proof is in the top shelf.
I'm not saying I don't use certain nutrients just not wasting money on perlite or anything other than pure coco coir.
Try it if you don't believe me.
Do a side by side grow.. it does need to be a clean pure or some call it washed Coco.
Can cannabis be grown in coco with organic amendments like Dr Earth's or worm castings and other stuff like that? Or do you have to use bottle nutes with coco coir? I'm not interested in mixing nutrs and playing with ppm meters but if I could use regular organic stuff with it I'd try it.
The most natural
Route to go for that is
Advanced nutrients
Sensi grow and sensi bloom
They have ones made
Specifically for coco
And yes you can put
Dry organic amendments
In Coco but unfortunately
You do need a good
Base nutrient which is
What I recommended
Above.
But it does say for plants grown in
Coco you'll need a synthetic
Nutrient to promote
Plant growth.
From personal experience
I have grown organic
In Coco with no
Nutes it'll work just
Know you get more nugs
With synthetic nutrients
All I use is cocoa coir peralite and worm castings oh and some fox farms nuts here n there
Can i do use coco with organic nutrients??
Salt based WAY more common and effective
Coco for this purpose is mostly grown in midlands of India, not on beaches. However it can still contain a lot of salts.
