Ok so far from all the areas I've looked at in Coco I see a lot of good information but it's all scattered. Is there any step by step threads in Canna Coco without seeing arguing and tid bits of info here and there ??
Just straight forward non interrupted procedure on what to do. Now that would be nice to see. I've got the just of what to do but I'd like to see some good recipes and routines.

Me and my buddy @Bear23 are really wanting to learn how to run in Coco and learn some DWC since they're related so close. Our store only Carries Canna Coco products so that's where we'd like to start. Thanks to any responses in advance.

I doubt if anyone here will walk anyone through a grow from start to end. As far as a thread or post that does this, I believe you are probably S.O.L. there as well But, I could be wrong, I grow in soil only so I have never even looked at soiless medium threads.

There is tons of great info to be found on coco and many other subjects, just not the way you apparently want it. My suggestion is to read and study all aspects of growing. Instead of looking for a 'quickie guide' I promise you will be better off and have better results.

Good Luck and Great Growz

Any coco advice/schedule will apply to canna coco. It's coco just with their brand name on it. I can get you dialed in on a kick ass program that works wonders. But imo you are overthinking it and making seem more difficult in your mind than it is. PH is a big deal with coco and calmag can be needed but there are alternate opinions and experiences regarding that.

Thanks man. I'm not expecting nobody to hold my hand the whole way through. It would be nice though lol. I guess that's in a perfect world. Maybe I'll find some journals and blogs that give their step by step procedures in coco to help us get a good start.

So are you just looking for a nutrient schedule and general info regarding ph etc...? I can give you what I use and have success with. Nearly all of what I use is mail order only unless you are in MI. Now that being said I only ever used GH CocoTek ( not Canna ) so it may not work lol. That was a mildly sarcastic joke BTW. I now use coco chips and everything stayed the same except faster growth and better yields due to more feedings. Still the same feedings.

Still the same feedings ? Did I read that right ? I love hearing people's coco recipes.
I'm a Canna Coco NUT myself. And I HAVE noticed that no one gives their feeding recipes out. Why is that exactly ??
When I was first starting to learn to grow in coco I'd have killed for some cheat sheets from some successful growers. But NO ONE will give them out. It's like, "learn on your own you twit". I'm not saying all people But it's a high number that's for sure. I'll hook you up with feeding recipe @Dreaming in Green just give me a little time to draft everything up. This should give you a good start to work with.

I use MBferts Nutes and here is what I do. I have posted some of this in other threads.

Everything here is from MB ferts except for

Cal Mag (kelp 4 less)
Pond Protector (amazon) - Used in reservoirs in lieu of hygrozyme.
Mad Farmer Oxygenator ( grow store ) - Used in reservoirs ( optional )
PH Down ( grow store )


Must haves... PH meter and TDS/PPM meter

Early Veg / Clone / Seedling:

PH 5.8
TDS 250-300

Per Gal:

3ml Clone Rooting hormone Solution 4X concentrate
3ml Grow A
3ml Grow B
3-5ml Cal Mag Concentrate (mix yourself from kelp4less)
1/4 Tsp silica

If TDS is higher than 250-300 then dilute to this TDS

Veg:

PH 5.8
TDS 600-700

6ml Grow A
6ml Grow B
2ml Vitamin Hormone Booster Concentrate
5ml cal mag
1/4gr Silica

1st Week Of Flower:

PH 5.8
TDS 600-700

First week use veg mix


Flower week 2,3,4,5:

PH 5.8
TDS 800-1000

7ml Bloom A
7ml Bloom B
7.5ml Early PK Boost
2ml Vitamin Hormone booster concentrate
5ml Cal Mag
1/4gr Silica

Flower week 6,7:

PH 5.8
TDS 800-1000

Bloom A & B are optional. I usually cut the amount in half for week 6 then stop using at week 7
5ml Late PK booster
2ml Vitamin Hormone booster concentrate
5ml Cal Mag
1/4gr silica

Week 8:


Flush with plain water till ready.

If you are running sativas or any longer running strain just adjust your flower feeding accordingly.


Some flush some don't that's up to you. I also use pond protector and 30% peroxide but I am automated and I add these to the reservoir. The TDS depends on what your plants need and how they are responding. The key is just knowing how to let your plants tell you what they want. I do use carb boost (dextrose) on occasion but haven't noticed a difference in my current setup. I will sometimes use it during the flush. Also, I use tap water that is 75 TDS this number is included my TDS feeding solution number. I used to use RO but my water is pure enough that there is no point. Also, silica will raise ph so you can use it to raise it if need be. Any PH down will work.

Here is a link to the feed chart. http://www.mbferts.com/media/mb_feed_chart.pdf

I hope this helps.
