Coco and ph levels

Just test your coco at various times and find out what changes in pH take place as the EC changes. Then you'll have actual data and won't have to start a thread that turns into a 6 page argument.

COCO measuring method
The most reliable method for measuring the nutrient levels in COCO is using the 1: 1.5 extraction method. EC and pH of the root environment can be determined by using this method. The pH and EC of the drain water generally deviates from the actual root situation, as COCO is able to retain and release elements.

  1. Take a sample of COCO from the slabs or pots (photo 1). This can be done with a soil core sampler or a trowel. To get a representative sample the COCO must be collected from as many places as possible.
  2. Collect the sample in a bowl and determine whether it contains the right amount of moisture. The COCO has the right amount of moisture if moisture disappears between your fingers when you squeeze it (photo 2). Add de-mineralized water if necessary and mix the COCO.
  3. Take a 250 ml measuring jug and fill it with 150 ml of de-mineralized water. Add COCO to the 250 ml mark (photo3). Fully mix and allow the slurry to settle for at least two hours.
  4. Mix again and measure the pH
  5. Then filter this material and measure the EC

Its actually my 3rd language. So sorry for this. You are just playing dumb. But you also in this growing thing, you are fuckin retarded. So please, leave the conversation if you do not have enough knoledge to help me.

If you all have failed in watering every 2 days, you are not competent advicing (:

I spent nearly 10 years hand feeding every other day in coco, during flowering was always chasing my tail with high salinity.

It isn’t ideal and you can’t dial it in until you do at least once per day feeds.

Just because you find it exhausting doesn’t mean there is a simple fix for it.

The simplest fix I found for myself was a DIY automated feeding system.

(Check out BLUMATS as a possibility like @xtsho mentioned)


I Slightly raised my drip tray and added a catch pan to catch the runoff.

The question you asked in your initial post that started this thread can be answered by testing the coco. I provided the instructions on how to do that a couple posts above.

Your initial question:

"what happens to cocos ph levels in theory, as the plant takes up nutrients?"



Do this before and after watering and compare the results. That will answer your question:

"The most reliable method for measuring the nutrient levels in COCO is using the 1: 1.5 extraction method. EC and pH of the root environment can be determined by using this method."

But he doesn’t need an EC meter and won’t buy one lmao.
