Canna Coco

[Coloradomtnman]

I am trying Canna Coco and their related products for the first time. I was wondering if anyone else has used these and what schedual they used for feeding. I have the chart for mix ratios but not for frequency of feeding. It is very dry where I live and I need to water every other day, I am worried that feeding that often is too much (?)

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I use coco also and I water every second day. Stick to that and you should be fine.

So were you feeding every time you watered also? I was worried that might be too often to feed.....

 

thanks

Yes I feed every time I water. Starting at 1/4 strengh and working up to just under full strength during flower.

If your pots R lifted up and they R heavy they probably don't need water/feed.

On the other hand if they are as ight as shit they need water/feed.

 

I use Coco in 7" x 7" square and 9" deep. I water every other day with feed. :smoke

 

Feed /water at the same time and as required.

Thanks Everyone!

 

I also use that method to check to see if my plants need watering. We have very low humidity up here in the mountains and they dry out real fast. I will feed with every water and use the lowest ratio of mix to start till the plants get bigger.

 

Since switching to the canna coco, I am really impressed with the growth rate over the regular soil that I had been using.

 

One more question, Do you use the coco straight or mix it with perlite? and if so, what ratio do you use?

 

 

Thanks Again,

Coloradomtnman - some people use a mix of coco & 10-15 % perlight.

 

My self I prefer 100% coco.
