Grow Mediums TD x2 Led coco autopot grow advice please

[Fisherboy]

Hi guys just want to run my setup past a few more experienced growers and check that all is sounding ok? I'm gonna be growing 2 DP TD in the autopot system under an ms0006 with 1/3 pot filled with clay pebbles and the rest with coco. I've got a ph pen and Tds meter with some buffering solution and some canna rhiz. The guy recommended canna coco but have heard conflicting accounts about it. What I'm looking for I'd someone to day "use this it's better" or "no it's fine". Based on experiences please. Don't want to drop my beans in till I'm sure I got everything I need so anything else anyone can think of of the nutrient side much appreciated. Will I need ph up/down or can I adjust with the nutes? Also on a final note i have a groom which was bare wood so I primed the inside of it. I now have my mylar and was wondering whether i could stick it to the walls with a glue or should i just pin it because of the glue smells? Any advice most welcome. Gagging to get started.

Anyone about to give me some guidance?

It takes more than a couple of hours to get a response sometimes, we only have two hydro mods and everyone here has a life and job offline. I'll send a report on up the line but in the future have a lil patience.

I've only used Plagron coco which is fine.
A layer of clay pebbles at base of Autopot is fine then mix the remaining pebbles through coco to give a loose airy mix.
pH adjustment will be needed. Up or down depending on nutes used.
Pinninig the mylar may be better.
Hope this helps... You can check the grows in my signature, all with Autopots..

The last 2 years I used only Canna coco + perlite + Hesi nutes and I love the results. Recently I switched to Advanced Nutrients + drip system and love the results more :


I'd Pin the mylar bro

Cheers Guys, gonna have a look at the autopot diaries cheers, put autopot into the search bar but just comes up with loads of threads and I can't get the answers I'm looking for. I'm a very patient person Mr Piggy, just itching to get cracking. Many thanks to all for your answers.

Anyone got any ideas on the Cana coco nutrients a & b? I read somewhere on the forum that someone said they made bud taste chalky?

I also use canna coco with organic perlite ... not sure why it would be chalky unless he didn't flush enough at the end .. not sure. first I've heard that. I've known one other to use Canna nutes with positive results. myself I use AN.

This is my first grow so you can take it for what it's worth and I've made a few rookie mistakes but I don't think it had to do anything with the products I've used. I'm using canna coco and canna A&B with supplementary calmag. I grow under a 200w clw solarflare led and trust me you will need the calmag. My plants had a calmag deficiency within the first few weeks. I would suggest some perlite as it's helped a lot with drainage. Also make sure you feed from the beginning with a product like rhizotonic because the it's a nutrient less medium and make sure your led isnt too close. I didnt add any nutrients the first two weeks because I thought I could treat it like soil and I had my led too close and my seedlings just didnt grow and almost died. As soon as I raised the led and fed them they took off. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to check out my grow https://www.autoflower.org/f44/first-grow-2-x-auto-mazar-2-x-nl-auto-25948.html
