So, envious of coco grows and their explosive growth I bought the Brunnings coco peat bricks, washed thoroughly twice, then measured the runoff to zero.
I had two Grandaddypurples sat wallowing in the Searles potting mix, really going nowhere, so 5 days ago I removed as much soil as I could and successfully repotted them into my coco.
The next few days I could see they were happier, with new growth visible almost immediately.
I didn't have any calmag to buffer the coir but had read it can be done in an ongoing basis( although not ideal...). I have a generous member here who ever so kindly offered to ship me his bottle, and I also ordered some Emerald Harvest calmag, just in case...
As an aside, I had been watching YouTube videos of growers using coco where they literally flood the pot till its running off, as you all already know.
The dude implied it was the complete opposite of soil, as you wanna get as much fertigation in there as possible and because of the aeration qualities of coco its not possible to drown em...
Today I go in the tent and find one of the GDP's looking decidedly tired and forlorn.
Yesterday, I had interpreted the light green tinge to new growth as a good sign. Guess not.
The change was literally overnight.
The second picture shows the other GDP.
Thoughts ? Calmag issues?
And if so, can it wait a few days till my order comes through?
Can one drown a plant in coco???
Thanks in advance
