I was able to gather some kelp and already have earth worm castings, possibly some maple syrup in there too (no molasses or fish shit avail). I'm going to let it brew for 24 hours and then pour a little around the roots, there will be a lot left over guess it's going in the garden!
In the first few days I just gave it water and yes it's straight coco no top dressing at all. Then I started adding 300-400 ppm of nutrients. I tried an organic all in one poweder called organic plant magic on 2 plants and the jacks 321 on 2 and both worked so well. Water/feed once a day until runoff with ph at 5.8-6.3. I had ph problem in the second week but the beauty of coco is it's easy to identify problems and can be fixed quickly. I love knowing when the plants are hungry and how much they need. In soil I was pretty much guessing when and how much to feed. IMO coco is so much easier than organic soil especially for a beginner.
Super helpful man!
Glad to be of help. I feel same way about the colorful nutrients bottles. The organic magic stuff is amazing. Good luck to you in your current grow hopefully they will take off soon.
Glad I got an email for this.
