well this is what i use my friend. like i said my grow this time around is centered around a person with a tight budget $26 for nutes(Canna A-B nutes), $25-$27 for the 50 liter bag of coco(Canna Coco Coir), and $24 for the bloom booster(GH Floralicious Bloom). that's $75-$80 for a whole cycle. for me thats two weeks for the clones, three to four weeks veg, and 60 days of flowering. i don't think you can beat that. but hey research it find out for your self because there are some other coco makers, and other nutes specifically for coco that are available out there.Ill pick up some nutes made for coco. What kind should I get I have been using humbolts oness program for like 6 months but I will go buy different coco brand nutes and try them out if they work better.
Couldnt be more then $60 for the nutes made for coco right? And what brand do you use Zen ill go get some tomarow maybe my plants will love me more.

yea man as far as some of the other brands out there this stuff is much better quality. its already washed and buffered to absorb the nutes properly, and its already ready to go. no need to saok it or do anything to it, just open the bag and put it in a pot. also just an FYI you can check my journal, i think its post #43, i have some what of a feeding program that might be of some help. only for the fact that the directions on the bottle may not be that easy to understand, and it doesn't tell you how much you should increase the dosages over time.Oh I do like that its in a bag.

Thanks man I saw the canna nutes up at the store to so they prolly got the bag-o-canna aswell. ill grab them both if it aint broke dont fix it.
Good shit. The guy at the shop was telling me to get some of the Bcuzz or whatever so I wouldnt have to wash it but it was pricey and I am the type of person that doesnt beleive "hype" if you know what I mean? I thought he was just trying to make some money and sell me some pricey stuff when the hydrofarm was like $8 for big bail.
Heyt thanks for the tips Zen/Corwin. It's good to hear all the postives on coco. I will be starting a journal and definatly appreicate the advice. I will check out your journal Corwin. I checked out Snow white's journals and I definatley like those Snapture connectors..It gave me an idea of making my own stand out of pvc
HEHE some are as big as 12" long and 3" + in diam.
how do i reuse my canna coco..
you use double strength cannazym for the last week of flower b4 you harvest, or at least once before you reuse it:
You wouldn't want to re-use solution like that. A lot of the reason why growers use a run-to-waste watering system is because the extra run-off helps to rid the plant of the salts and other waste products it produces as it grows. Feeding it back to them would be kinda like drinking your own urine.
Thanks Air for the response, but I am not doing hydro..I am just using coco instead of soilYou wouldn't want to re-use solution like that.

edit: I'm actually not sure about that since you'd be using a hydro system the rules might be different. I'll let somebody else correct me if I'm wrong so only count the drainage part of my post as fully accurate
As far as drainage, coco drains rapidly. Very rapidly compared to the soil mixes I've used in the past. Pretty much as soon as the medium becomes saturated you will start to see run-off.
I hate to break it to ya bud but if you've got pumps set up to drain, then you add a pump to do the watering, that's a hydro system. A variation of the flood and drain system, if I'm not mistaken.
coco is hydro....
I learn somethin everyday in this forum. lol!
I have about a max of 5' hight without getting to close to the lights. If I had more height I would lift up the trays and put a reservoir under.
Good to know..I was given the idea at the hydro store..but it does make sense that you wouldn't want to put the waste back into the plants.
