Any of you guys above actually ever grown in coco mediums before?
EC is not as important as a pH meter.
I have grown in coco for 4 years.
I would not be without my EC truncheon and pH pen.
Coco is VERY pH specific.
Ideally an EC meter would be beneficial as you feed each and everytime you water with coco mediums.
Keep pH at 5.8.
Coco is a hand watered hydroponic medium.

sounds good to me jew bag, what could possibly go wrong using an inert medium with no meters? JK, yeah , you need to buy em n learn em, best things ever for optimizing a grow. Buy cheap ones at first, I bought off ebay n my pos ppm pen was $12 n my ph pen was about the same, calibration solution is dirt cheap n iv had no issues for 4 years with cheap pens that I recalibrate once a yr. I grow in perlite hempy buckets n would have never gotten the results I do without my pens.Hi guys ive been reading about other peoples coco grows & everyone talks about there ppm & ph?
Do I need ppm/ph/ec meters before I start? Didn't think about all this as ive been in soil

Is this an intentional racial slur, or just merely a typo error?sounds good to me jew bag
So Jubag is better than Jewbag? I apologise to anyone iv upset by saying "jew".Is this an intentional racial slur, or just merely a typo error?

Or just a piss poor attempt at being humorous by making a lame play of words from Jubag420?

Yeah, im sure im not the first.lol Just didnt expect to get jumped for it, but anyways, buy the calibration solutions, they are cheap as hell n make a cheap pen a good pen. My ph pen n ppm pen cost me less than $30 combined, calibration solutions were so cheap I cant even tell u the price of em. Iv seen several pens for 5x that cost n a ph/ppm variance hardly justifies the 500% mark up they charge. Il get fucked up n accidentally drop em n the toilet way before they quit workin. Iv never bought ph up, never needed it. Buy ur ph pen n nutes first, takes me 8 drops of ph down with lucas n tap water to get to 5.8 but all water is differentHahaa your not the first ta call me jewbag
Sound J, ill get on n buy a ec & ph pen
Do I need calibration fluid for both?
Also I guess ph+/- is necessary?

So u grow in coco without monitoring ph/ ppm because its ph neutral?I grow with very good coco that is washed for a very low EC level and is PH neutral w/e that means.
I use different nutrients in it from diff brands etc, and never have I had to check PH, EC, PPM, or anything else.
Add nutes, and forget it.
Silicon from my understanding is a soluable plant fertiliser. Si.Silicon from my understanding is like a hard gel that you apply to stick things like wood and glass together.
It's like a soft clear see through super glue
