Coco for Cannabis Breakdown - Meta Soil Cost Analysis and Preparation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- Now I heard coco noir is just as hard as hydroponics and if you watched my hydro series, you’ll see that despite all the headaches, the yields were amazing so I wanted to put soil up against coco in this series. To make everything easier, I will semi automate the feeding with some halos and a separate reservoir that I will be mixing my feed in. I will be using Dr. MJ. coco from Coco for Cannabis’s grow guide and feed schedule. I will use Gorilla coco that was pre buffered twice with calimagic and amended with perlite exactly as his guide suggests. His teachings have consistently come up in forums and I wanted to test out once and for all.

Price wise, just to get the pots started cost $6 per 5 gallon pot. Where it gets complicated is the nutrient usage and I will estimate the cost at the end of the grow by keeping a journal of all the amounts I used, if I had to guess based on the feed schedule on coco for cannabis, I'd say if it’s anything like hydro, it would be $20 of nutrients for each 5 gallon pot which is still a very cost effective $26.00 a pot. The total of all the nutrients and supplies I purchased for this grow is $213.00 which has enough supplies for 7 5 gallon pots. A full price breakdown can be seen in the description and it’s probably cheaper to get all this stuff at your local Hydroponics store but if you want to save on gas, check the links in the description.
Coco Coir $24 amzn.to/3PjFDL6
10 lbs brick, used 1/7th the total so $3.42
CalMag $17 amzn.to/3yCcTGW
1 quart, used 30 ml which is approximately 1/30th or 56 cents
Perlite: $9 amzn.to/3nWrFU2
Used 1/4th or $2.25
Paint Strainer Bag: amzn.to/3yIZ0GY
Now this is where it gets complicated:
Silica $24 amzn.to/3O5yL3h
General Hydroponics Flora Trio $35 amzn.to/3PsngnB
General Hydroponics Kool Bloom $20 amzn.to/3zcCEPL
General Hydroponics Diamond Nectar $20 amzn.to/3NY4jrG
Raw Yucca $22 amzn.to/3z4noUE
Ph Up and Down amzn.to/3O2FL0v
Rapidstart $22
Coco noir is basically inert so all of the nutrients will be coming from the synthetic nutrients added. Live nutrient analysis in the video but the final NPKs on his whole feed chart is:
First 6 days - 11-95 - 6.1 - 9.75
7 to 14 days - 21.75 - 11.25 - 27.15
15-20 days - 22 - 13.5 - 32.25
21-flip - 22.25 - 14 - 32.3
flip to pistils - 20 - 16.5 - 34.25
2 weeks - 18.5 - 24 - 35.5
2 weeks - 14.25 - 33.5 - 41.75
1 week - 14.25 - 60 - 62.25
1 week - 14.25 - 80 - 80.25
1 week - 6.25 - 70 - 67
It's fine to have a lot of K in bloom, but absolutely not necessary in VEG the way this feed schedule lists. One of the main reasons why it's not recommended is because it conflicts with calcium and that may cause lockout. Flora Gro would be the easiest thing to remove in this feed schedule to vastly improve the ratios to more optimal amounts.

Wow, great video and thank you for sharing.
I use canna coco, straight out the bag and into the pot, put plant into it from seed to harvest and never once ever rinsed or soaked or messed about with
I was just following instructions, this is my first time so I wanted to stay true to the style, next time Ill bypass
@@HowWeedGrow what im trying to say is that canna coco is in my opinion the best brand coco as no rinsing or soaking for buffering required, other brands ive heard you have to rinse and soak, paying a little more for canna outweighs all the labour of work to do all that for me, things don’t have to be that difficult you can get canna and everything is simple
@@ryanlongley5052 that crazy thing is, it wasn’t even more expensive. I bought this cause it was the highest in price. lOl. What a sucker I was. Next time though.
And BTW. I didn’t really need to rinse this. I just did It to follow instructions just so people don’t discredit me
@@HowWeedGrow yea i get what your saying, in the grow community someone always says your doing something wrong but I always see it as whatever works for you then go for it
Where can I find this chart in the discord? (2:02) Have been looking to no avail.
on excel, hit Fx, select sum, then drag down the cells you want to add up and it'll add everything up for you :)
Coco is wonky... I grow with that and both bag soil with mixed results... .I like how you use a solid set of numbers to work against... what's your NPK ratios you like to aim for in both veg and bloom?
It’s different for coco and soil. For soil it’s 5-2-3 and 2-4-3 or 2-4-5 depending on what I want to accomplish. Of course that’s baseline and I go up and down based on what I read. For coco, there’s just a lot more Ca, Mg and K.
Great Video thumbs up from me. many thanks for all the advice you are putting out.
I've reused my old coco from past ops for the first time and rebuffed exactly as described. I've been running into some problems with interveinal chlorosis and leaf tips burning/turning necrosis as if there is K deficiency present, upon further inspection it may also be a sulphur deficiency.
I don't suppose you have any knowledge of this problem?
Do I need to amend with sulphur?
Add sand that was lost during the rinsing stage of coco?
many thanks for all your work.
Check my yellow video. Interveinal chlorosis is usually magnesium deficiency and could be resolved with epsom salt which is extremely common in coco because of cation exchange sites and calcium, magnesium and potassium all competing for the same slots
@@HowWeedGrow great thanks man. ill go check that out and get onto straight away.
thanks for the advice
I already Pay Dr. Earth Nutrients. Is it Big Different?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
So you mix hydrogen peroxide with every nutrient mix for coco??
Yes for this medium and feed schedule, the TPS coco didnt use h2o2 and I did notice the pH climbing up faster and some funky growth
Mix it with chunky coco coir instead of perlite.
7 parts buffered Coco 3 Parts Perlite and 2 parts Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth.
Fool proof.
Jacks 321 at 2.5- 3 EC
damn that a high EC, my hydro grows go to .5 lol but yeah, just dipping my feet into coco, depending on how it does, I might test out other mixes
@@HowWeedGrow I thought so too, at first. The strains I’m familiar with had no issues at 3 EC, in CoCo. @GrowMoreStressLess convinced me.
@@MikeParentLeap dude is sooooo underrated. I think he might be the best grower on UA-cam. Really respect all his work and I’m a huge fan(more so than all of these slots TBH)
@@HowWeedGrow I think a big factor is dryback. I run about 2.0 EC. I was shocked to see you do .5 EC, but after learning and playing with drybacks, I can totally see how that'd work. I presume you wouldn't use high frequency fertigation with an EC that low? The EC at the top of your pot is probably slightly higher than .5EC, and depending on how long you dry back you media, the EC could be as high has 15.0 at the bottom, and there's a gradient through the pot. 15 just happens to be the largest EC that I've heard of/seen someone using (on youtube (measuring substrate EC in coco).
I would be worried about pH with such a low EC... that is to say, if you're not getting enough runoff, but... I mean, I think you grow pretty good stuff.
How often do you get runoff when you use coco? and how is your pH? close to the input?
@@everennui1 there is HF fert, 3 times a day, all within the first 4 hours of lights on, calibrated weekly to always have a tiny bit of runoff so saucer slowly get bigger. Excess is washed out. I never use high EC in any medium I grow, makes for poopie tasting weed in my experience.
I've never soaked or rinsed coco in my life. I've been growing in coco for 15 years. None of that is necessary with the right coco.
Yea. I only did it because that’s what coco do cannabis instructed and I didn’t want any “well, you didn’t ______”’s in the final results
CANNA
Coco for cannabis is the man with the PhD so I trust he knows what he’s talking about. A lot of guys have cal-mag deficiency in coco.
@@Puggy42069 yeah. Dude is the truth. He slot easily took the #1 slot
@@HowWeedGrow Which video shows that? I couldn’t find which video of your slots showed the winner.
You might not go back!
Using the coco feed chart, it say ppm target 600 when I mix I'm only getting 460 ppm but that goes with any feed chart. Why does this happen?
How are you measuring the nutrient
@madchem184 I use blu lab ppm pen. I over mix and then dilute to the desired ppm.
@@snowww816 sorry I meant to ask how you measure the fertilizer quantity. Syringe? I use the same chart and I have to dilute to reach the desired EC
@madchem184 Yes, a syringe. With r/o water around 10 ppm. I've used all kinds of different things and different charts and it's always less. I've used multiple ppm pens, and I've used other nutrient brands, and it's always the same thing. Sometimes, if I match the ppm on the chart, I'll have major issues. It's a headache.
@madchem184 I have also added cal mag until I reach 200 ppm, and that helps. But I have to add way more than the chart says.
