As Muncher says mate its not needed. I havent actually added any to the coco itself, i rooted my cuts in soil which was mixed with perlite then placed the starter pots into the coco. I have picked out all the top stuff twice but as i water its getting churned up from the lower stuff. This is my first proper coco run and im so pleased so far, the growth is much faster than soil.islandgrower420 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 10:09 pmHave you had any success with coco without adding any perlite?
Been reading its very possible to do and some recommend it. Asking because I have no perlite and will be starting my 1st COCO grow in the next few days with an autoflower.
Your grow is looking very very good. Wish those pots were not as expensive over here or I would be using them. Seeing all your growth makes me all excited haha

Re: First proper coco run with Don Bullioni in the driving seat!
You are more than welcome mate. Given my run of bad luck im hoping a change to coco and a bigger set up will put all of that behind me, but this is a Keeno grow so anything is possible, i did start this grow earlier but the tent decided to collapse.......INDICA LOVER wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 8:56 pmim a bit late but gonna sub up and enjoy the ride looking good so far keep it up bud

Re: First proper coco run with Don Bullioni in the driving seat!
Whilst the plants were still on the soil they started to get hungry so when we potted them up in coco gave them slightly higher feed than normal to catch up mate. Now will get them on lower feed and keep an eye on the colour.Black Grouse wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 11:50 amwhy are you dropping the ec? not questioning your logic, just want to understand :)

Update
Im still giving each plant 2 liters of feed, getting nice runoff with that.
PH 5.8
EC 1.0
Ive dropped silicone for this batch will be 2 days, ill await Bully to see what to to for the next feed. The plant in the front right of tent took a lifetime to re veg so is slightly behind the other 3.

Update
Wassup Groom. They are starting to fill out. Bulls training method defo faster than mine, not topped once and got loads of tops shooting up. Im amazed at the rate of growth in coco. Still feeding 2 liters per plant, getting back about 6 liters. She got a foliar feed of epsom salts a couple of days ago at 1 teaspoon per liter.
Feed at
5.8 PH
1.0 EC
Feed consists of 2ml rhizzo per liter and then made up to 1.0 with a and B. Ill await instructions from Bulls for next batch.

Re: First proper coco run with Don Bullioni in the driving seat!
Hello buddy. Looking really goos but a bit pale. Glad to hear you enjoy this training method and works good buddy.
Should increase the feed by 0.2 now and see how they react.
EC 1.2 pH 5.8
0.5 silicon
2ml rhizo
A and B to 1.2.
You can switch HPS to 600 now buddy.
