Home Grown Made Easy at www.realgrowers.com/ A lot of growers are turning to coco as their preferred growing media. We'll show you all the reasons why, plus some things you need to watch out for.
Love ya man... thanks for all the great info and entertainment over the years. I dont even mind the interrupting, cause you always have something good to say
Sup Scotty 👊 Im Growing in coco buffered with calmag, humic and fulvic acids and in my nutrient tank i use a 3 part salts that has a coco micro i also add silica for thicker cell walls and stems and amino boost to help with nutrient uptake...
I am loving the recharge & growdots bro I thought those were a joke I swear to God so I finally tried the little sample $10 pack. What a freaking amazing product brother seriously good job man well done feeding cannabis the easy way forever.
🤙Your doing awsum guys, keep pumping out that gooooood info. I se better cannabis being grown over all in the future thx to the passion in your green harts. Respect 🙏
If you buffered the coco before and reuse it I would say yes and no. yes bec of nutrient build up and salts from the last grow will still be in there and most likely be to high of a EC/PPM for seedlings or clones. and no bec you already buffered the coco before so the cal mag should still be bounded to the coco coir. And as long you don't have 600 plus ppm coming out from the run off I don't see a reason to flush and re buffer again since when you go water the fresh seedlings or clones you will be feeding naturally low ppms around 200-400ppm which will flush it out and re add some cal mag back into the coco. and always use atleast 50-125ppm of cal mag per watering or you will see cal mag problems. cheers
Been using a mixture of 50% coco-loco, 30% happy frog 20% perlite- paired with build a soil amendments/compost... super simple with great results time after time. Just so ppl know the grow dots work great with that soil mix as well, I'm quite suprised at the results it produces
Happy frog soil with some veg garden compost, earthworm casting, and green sand blended in sorks well for my first plant northern lights auto about 1-3 days from harvest right now. IM SO EXCITED!!!
Hossfarms Stick with canna coco and canna coco nutes for veg, but please try the Athena Blended coco nute range for bloom. Do a side buyside and thank me later :-)
New UK grower first in sohum living soil and my second will be in dr organics 💚but love the video very informative and may give this a go in the future 💚🙏
Thanks, brother! I grow coco-coir/perlite (Mother Earth) with worm castings and Recharge (inspired by you long ago) as a base medium in an ebb and flow hydroponics system. I always buffer using cal/mag, regardless if it says it is already washed and buffered. I love the results. I still run a diy soil medium tent (because I started in soil and have left over soil and nutes, lol), but the coco gives me better results in comparison.
I’m growing in Mother Earth right now. I tried ocean forest (that shit is junk) on my first plant and it’s been in poor health the entire grow. Almost 2 month veg and still not ready to flip. Put a chemdog seed in Mother Earth and it’s growing its 2nd set of leaves right now. It’s doing better than the first plant ever thought about doing. Many people grow in soil but I don’t think I’m one.
Coco is the best! I still use the cheap bricks, rinsed a few times in tap water until it runs clear, then a few hours soak in cal-mag'ed RO water. I use an old bubble bag in a 5 gallon bucket as the sieve, never had any magnesium issues during growth.
I bought two bags of Scotts organic topsoil for my bearded dragon cage. I decided to add the extra to my soil bin and some to the new pots being filled for seeds. I ended up throwing it all away. The fungus gnats were horrible with watering. Sitting around outside in Walmart compared to the ones that I bought from home depot. Never from Walmart again. Just moved to coco for weed. Nope I did not buffer.....
@@lunarminx I was buying fox farm soil from the local nursery and it had fungs gnats I could stop them eventually but every time I open the tent gnats fly...not for me
Scotty, I flipped to flower at 45 days, grabbing recharge, silica and fish poop, also have the fox farm trio. should I be good to go Nutrient-wise? half coco, half ocean forest used in last grow also.
I used Royal Gold Tupur Coco blend last run, had some decent results but I'm never satisfied and always searching for the perfect medium. This run I'm using Pro-Mix HP for the first time, it's aaaright I'm not jumping for joy some strains are doing Well others not so much. For Black Friday I ordered more bags of Tupur and also FloraFlex's loose Coco bags which is supposed to be High Quality. I use their nute line a lot.
I use Canna Coco bricks . Same quality as their loose coco and triple washed and buffered. I run Masterblend drain to waste . Never so much as a single deficient or toxic leaf and run the same formula seed to harvest. Coco for the win
Lasts say I use Hydro Crunch Coco Coir Block from Amazon. Product claims. Flushed of excess sodium. So what if I hydrate that coco coir with a well balance of nutrients with water. Would that be a big no-no
i use canna coco and canna coco a+b much less issues i do coco + 13mm clay pellets i try to pocket clumps of clay pellets in groups n once im done n pull the core out the pot you can see large spots that air just sits in so the plant can suck in as much as it wants
I like growing and what age do you makes a little bit of a Pete monster and then I use athis Royal.I have a couple of weeks to fertilize my plants.I like all the natural way the old style lady
Canna also sell a half coco, half peet type of soil mix too. Been advised that a good soil mix, is a bag of that + bag of canna coco + mixed bag of clay pebbles & perlite, of the same weight as a bag of Canna coco etc... Is a really good no fuss, stable & sturdy medium, that still remains aerated & drains off run off well too. It's still predominantly a 3/4 canna coco soil mix... That this other canna coco/peet soil product can benefit balancing into otherwise coco mixes as soil mediums. I've seen his system & the soil mix of a bag mixed up equally of these 3 together. It seems a winner, any advice or opinions tho on this out there?
I guess i am lucky, never washed or buffered any coco cheap or expensive in the last 15+ years. Not once and can only recall once or twice I had an issue.
I tried the egg shells and it didn't work. So I just sucked it up and got The small bottle of cal mag. A little bit goes a long way Besides you only need Enough to apply it To a few feedings per plant Depending on your methods.
I used a “buffered and washed” coco product and my stems were purple until I added amendments a few weeks later and all new stem growth was green after that. definitely treat all coco the same haha
@@stangcobra592purple stems usually means it needs more magnesium. It could also be inadequate light. Just bump calmag or make sure you aren’t locking it out somehow.
I recently Re potted into cannas coco plus before flower and my roots completely dodged it tap root straight through it to the bottom of the pot/bag and ended up with deficiencys
I like CoCo/Perlite and recently have been running Turface*/Perlite on an experimental scale. I ran my outdoor tomatoes in pure Turface with good results but found it too heavy. The Perlite makes a world of difference It’s keeping up with my Coco Hempys and it isn’t finicky. No buffering or treating, just an initial rinse. *Turface is calcined clay. It’s fired so it won’t break down. Other names are Safe T Sorb at Tractor Supply. Very inexpensive and reusable. JM2¢
7 gallon pots for a bigger Yield. Pro mix moisture mix as a potting mix with extra Pearlite. And either Humboldts secret nutrients or Raw nutrients. And a PH kit (Emerald harvests silica Is really good) Also advanced nutrients: Nirvana is technically a tea mix and works as a potency Booster.
Mixing coir and hydroton. Helps let the water drain more. It can hold onto water too long sometimes. Especially with younger plants that aren’t using as much water. No special ratio. I like about 1/3 to 1/2 hydroton.
Bro I am running Athena proline, handwatering my 4x4 tent all filled with the same plants , but One is super low ph. It’s run off is coming off at 4.0 ph and the others are good at 5.8 but idk why one is low af when I’m using the same feed water and everything edit: I’m using coco .. tupir to be exsct
Weed is now legal in germany and i started growing it in coco humus because it was the cheapest option for me bought the cocus dirt from a german company hopfully its good at least i think it is my plants are growing fine and look healthy
Gee I'm the odd ball here. I, prior to this video, had been using Fox Farms Ocean Forrest, but after this video I will be trying buffered Coco. I had a bad experience with Coco in the past.
Can cannabis be grown in coco with organic amendments like Dr Earth's or worm castings and other stuff like that? Or do you have to use bottle nutes with coco coir? I'm not interested in mixing nutrs and playing with ppm meters but if I could use regular organic stuff with it I'd try it.
The most natural Route to go for that is Advanced nutrients Sensi grow and sensi bloom They have ones made Specifically for coco And yes you can put Dry organic amendments In Coco but unfortunately You do need a good Base nutrient which is What I recommended Above.
But it does say for plants grown in Coco you'll need a synthetic Nutrient to promote Plant growth. From personal experience I have grown organic In Coco with no Nutes it'll work just Know you get more nugs With synthetic nutrients
For a couple years we’ve had disastrous results trying to start seeds in a mix of coco coir and sifted compost. The seeds would germinate but then either die quickly or stay extremely stunted for months until moved into new soil without the coco coir. We thought it was the compost the first year, changed the compost brand but same result so it must have been the coco. Probably not gonna bother with it again.
So for my first grow I tried ocean forest. I’ve had a really bad time with this plant. In veg almost 2 months and not ready to flip yet. I ordered some Mother Earth coco/perlite and this 2nd plant is doing better than the first one ever did. Hoping it’ll catch up with the big plant and I can flip at the same time.
Ocean forest is good if you are transplanting or you do a 50/50 blend of hf/of with 30% perlite. But straight up ocean Forrest being startled in will just burn the hell out of the seed and stunt it
Happy frog is for vegetative growth and ocean Forest is For bloom. One tip that I'll share: At the beginning of the Plants life It creates most of its own Nitrogen by itself
Do you go with ebb and flow or a drip system? I've been considering switching over from coco and fab pots to rockwool. I just don't know how much more equipment I'd need.
