there are no nutes in coco, you need to feed right away at very low strengths to begin

I start in soil (happy frogs) then once developed switch to soilless mix

I do go to 5.8 (to simulate the ph of rain) but not sure about coco, never used it

perhaps Bob or someone else knows?

what up bro. i have a question for ya..

ive read a lot that when you flip into flowering, you should be prepared that plants may become 2 or 3x the size they are
im comin up on my 7th week of flowering and my plants are pretty much the same exact size they were while vegging.
but one thing is.. i used the foxfarm nutes for soil instead of hydro. i was vegging for 7 weeks.. yeah 7 lol. i was actually getting a lot of problems, so i was feeding them a mixture of 3 weeks of plain water and 4 of nutes
once i started flowering, i got some proper super natural nutes, and the buds are pretty nice. i actually sampled a small nug from each of em.. toaster dried - still taste decent and surprisingly, pretty good high
i was wondering if it was my nutes that stunted their growth or could it just be genetics of the plant? i got both of mine as clones from a medical club and they are around 18-20 in

Hello all Gadgetsmoke here... I have a 11x18 space for perpetual grow, can you guys please help me with the best use of this space, and also all the equipment i would need to do it right ( dont need top of the line ,just the basics to make it work) i have done tons of research however im just not technically gifted, also any layout designs would be appreciated... im a prop 215 compliant and would be looking to have about 12-18 buckets for me and the peeps i caregive for...thanks ahead of time for the help.......... also the room doesnt have windows but i can cut through the roof if needed for ventilation.....thanks to all.....peace luv and bud​

I didn't read anything about the strain, that could be influencing your growth pattern...but the 2-3x is just a best case scenario, some plants won't even grow 25% their original height during the flowering period...

Proper ventilation is a must! 11x18...I would suggest maybe 2-4x 1000 watt systems if you wanna utilize that space to it's full potential...what kind of system were you thinking, DWC??? Ebb N' Gro??? You'll also need a few oscillating fans for air movement, proper nutrients, pH and PPM meter, and whole bunch of other shit...

You should start backing off the veg nutes slowly, lower the concentration of your nutrient solution by 1/4 strength every 3-7 days, then just give fresh water for another 3-7 days...after this start on your bloom nutrients, this helps the plant get use to the change and will minimize any stress that may occur during this transition...
When I did use molasses, I only used it towards the end of the flowering period...
