If this is your first grow, and it's in coir, you better do some quick reading my friend. Don't take your eye off the ball for 1 second or it will fuck up. Get some canna ph up and down, cheap enough. Good luck

my first grow was in coir, dont worry , just know your shit, buy some PH down and up, only use one per a solution, which means no going to far up or down and then trying to correct it

also your coir likes to live at 5.6 to 6.2PH let your nutrient solution sit for a 30 min or so to mix correctly before using PH adjusters

i think coir as long as its wet is the most forgiving medium to use, hands down and i have done most, and wet doesnt mean soaked, wet mean like 30-60% water volume is neccesary for constant intake of nutrients and give your plants a tea or tonic day with no ferts once a week, i got a buddy that goes 3 days feeding and 1 day water tonic, then start over


oh ya and i dont flush ever . . . .and i mean it never, use products like sea green , kelp, and myco products with molasses or beat extract to make your root zone a machine at devouring waste or chelating the nutrients your bennies create, and i do not need to flush during cycle, just at the end of flowering and i normally can stop giving my plants ferts for 2-3 weeks depending on strain, my product comes out smooth and flavorful

With respect my friend, how can an inert medium be forgiving. You are obviously experienced and know what you are doing (second nature), will a new grower find it as easy??

i wasnt my first grow, i was completely brand new , following canna chart directions and i got 11 OZ off my 400hps, in 2 gallon smart bags . . . the proof was in the pudding . .also i didint have PH testers or PPM meters or any of that shit, just Canna coir, A+B , cannzyme, rhizotonic and boost . . . oh ya and some neem oil

if growing from a direction chart is not easy you should not be growing

KISS
 
So should bring the ph down a bit right, with ph down, how often should i give mollases, do i give them a drink with tap water or bottled water all the help i can get would be great!!!!!

do some searching on mollases you can give to much . . . i use bio gro from bio bizz there version of the sugar product, is a 1-0-6 NPK ratio and i use 18ml a five gallon bucket every feeding once plants are established in veg growth stage, also mollases normally drops your PH a bit , so with it you might not need any PH up or down

its for your bennies and your roots system, i truly dont know all of its benifits

but i do know that if you mix Mollases in your water straight from tap water that it will get rid of your chloramine and chlorine amounts
