Zeq Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 hi hendrik...I AM SO F JEALOUS with everyone which lives on a country that cannabis is legal. this is totally not fair. while we are dreaming to plant it outside, they are face the fact. plant it outside is the super-simple method of all, no need bla-bla-bla which make so depression and very cheap in cost also... right now, i am so in high-passion for learning all about cannabis, join with trusted community and forum about cannabis, hopefully will be legal soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They becoming more open..bt it should be tolerated for religous and medicinal purposes only, not legalized...we dont want our government to take over our medicine...its big business and it will happen if its legalized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannabissapean Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Henrik, I'm not an expert on the use of coco, but there are some here who are. I'll put a link in your intro thread to link others directly here, and maybe the coco experts might see that and bring you some good info. I do know something about maintaining mother plants though. It comes from my own hydro-in-Rockwool-Vegg tent. And that is: For maintaining the mothers, you don't want high intensity lighting, otherwise your mothers will out grow your tent and outgrow your processes. A couple Fluorescent Cool White bulbs is sufficient to maintain mothers in slow-growth, and they are easier on your pocketbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Henrik, Well i am not a user of coco pure neither, i use to mix with soil to give it a bit more of air but never alone. What i know from the coco is that it is a sterile medium, theorically there is absolutely no microbial life in the coco and it can not survive very long by itself if you introduce in coco neither. So i dont know if the choice of organic nutrients like you are using is best for you. I Could be wrong but i dont think the medium will alow your nutrient to transform like it should to be available to the plant if there is no microlife in your medium. for that you would need to add some soil to it probably. Im not saying coco and organic will not work, but just that it will not get the best out of your nutrient line. Beside this for the waterings and all the rest you will need to adjust the frequency to your valuables in the grow, but most of the times with coco is daily watering anyway. Good luck in this man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannabissapean Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks, Dust. I hadn't heard it explained that way, but it makes sense so. So coco acts more like a soil filler that helps with both drainage and water retention, sort of in between perlite and vermiculite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi guys. Thanks for ur responses. Hav been doin sum research yes.. Do understand that i hav to add microbial life to coco, thats wher the mycorizhae rock phosphate, rock dust and all the other things come in..do hav extra add ons, bt will experiment. And as they say, the key to success is failure..bt will keep up to date on my trails 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
