Hello all :smoke:

I have a few questions i was hoping to get some help on. This is my first time using Coco and not sure about feeding in the beginning. Ive used aeroponic systems and GH Waterfarm setup. I've read in a couple different places that some are feeding anywhere from 300ppm-800ppm right from the get go (seed/seedling). Is this correct or am i misinterpreting something? Its been my past experience that this will fry/kill the plant.

As of right now I have 2 five gallon smart pots using straight Canna Coco in each. I PHd the water to 5.8 and put into the medium with some run off. I did not add any nutrients, just PHd water only. I soaked a couple Heavyweight 'Fast & Vast' seeds in water over night and put in to the Coco in the smartpots. They both sprouted after 48 hours and look good so far. So I guess my question is, should I be feeding them right now, or should I wait till 3rd set of leaves?

Here is a little more info:

Using tap water set out 24-48 hours. PHd to 5.8 ...ppm of Tap is 156

Canna Coco in smart pots

I have GH flora series 3 part nutes... and plan on using 6ml/gallon GH flora micro and 9ml/gallon GH flora Bloom modified lucas program that Ive read works really well.

400W HPS light in 3x3 tent

temps staying around 79 and humidity around 40%


Any help/feedback would be appreciated

im not feeding my ladies any neuts that early (using canna coco pro)
but many are feeding them with some rhizotonic already from the first day.

i usually start feeding when that 2-3 set of leaf appears.. (1-2 weeks) with the basic neuts.. in my case. Coco Canna A+B

i saw its a while ago you wrote this...are you still on this project? got any pictures? :d5:
 
When I put seed in soil I buffer it with grow, cal-mag, root stim, silica, and b vitimin @ 300 ppm 5.7 ph. 1 feeding a day for 3 days.

Feed with same things @ 600 ppm and slowly increase from there.

Yes I started a grow log awhile back on the fast ad vast strain https://www.autoflower.org/f44/first-coco-grow-fast-vast-28086.html

I ended up waiting till 3rd set of leaves to introduce nutes...here are the most recent pics ive taken. they are day 54 in these pics

Nice lady should be a good yielder
 
Heck yes. Nice lady for sure! I feed from the moment I sow a seed. And I'm using promix hp-cc with coco in it as opposed to the canna coco I was using. With both mediums I still feed from day one. My my two cents lol
 
I have a fond Precious For BleNded Coco......
