Only ever feed your coco. Never use plain water as it fucks with the CEC of the coir.After reading up more on this topic it is unbelievable the difference in professional opinions- however I think you are more correct than I on this- I think I can attribute my late stage leaves dying to not enough watering. I am going more aggressive on this next
After reading many articles on this it is amazing on the difference in opinions. Seemingly reliable sources go from letting coco dry out 50-70% before watering again to watering/feeding multiple times a day.
I am a believer in learning from my past actions- and experimentations to improve my outcomes. Looking at my past harvests- I do seem to be ending with lots of discolored and dying leaves. I attributed this to the plant “dying”and putting all of its energy into bud production. My buds are nice- but could likely be better.
So I am leaning toward your technique as being the correct route- feeding/ watering every day. I will confirm this with future results.
So are you alternating feeding and flushing- feeding every day and occasionally flushing?
How big are your pots and how much do you need to give it each time to achieve 20% run off? Thanks for your advice
some people like to feed daily once the seed pops.
personally I like to allow a couple of days in between feeding during seedling stage to allow some better root growth.
Once well established feed daily if you find they are dry before the next feed then they need 2 feeds a day. If the coco looks dry and light in colour on the top then you’re waiting too long to feed again
I’ve found anything from 1 gallon (4Litres) to 3 gallon (12litres) to work well with daily feeding.
A good rule of thumb is EC of your feeding between 1.0-1.8 when you’re daily feeding.
