SUMMARY: I gradually built the volume of feeds up by 200ml per day until I reached 1200ml on day 11. From the next feed on I then saturated the entire medium and I will be irrigating on a daily basis moving forward after reading up at cocoforcannabis.com. I'm sold on the idea of always keeping the coco wet as it can always breathe especially with the amount of perlite I use. DAY 8 ------- Saturday 9th January 20:30 I gave the plant 800ml of week 1 nutes keeping the surrounding coco nice and moist. [25°C/50%] DAY 9 ------- Sunday 10th January 20:40 The NL was drying out and so I gave it 1L today upping from yesterdays 800ml. I'm hoping she will drink this up in the next 24hrs. For comparison one of my other plants (Jesus) was receiving 500-700ml per day up until day 11 when she received 2300ml to try and produce runoff. I will keep upping the amount by 100-200ml per day until I can saturate the medium with 20-30% runoff. [24°C/55%] DAY 10 -------- Monday 11th January 20:40 The NL was drying out again which is great and so I gave her 1.2L of week 1 nutes upping from yesterdays 1L. I aim to continue to build up by 200ml per day until I can saturate with 20-30% runoff but will see how it goes as that will take 9 days to get to 3L and I don't really want to go through 2 weeks of irrigation with zero runoff as this risks a salt buildup which will cause pH issues. The environment was showing 38°C/33% on my small hydrometer however my Inkbird reported 23°C and my bluetooth hydrometer reported 24.7°C/52%. It seems the hydrometer was in the heat path from the electric fan heater. [25°C/45%] <-- guesstimate with the multiple different readings DAY 11 -------- Tuesday 12th January 20:20 I gave the NL 1200L as this was the last of my week 1 nutes. She is due for week 2 on Thursday and so I will let her dry out a bit tomorrow then give her 1500ml of week 2 nutes on Thursday. DAY 12 -------- Wednesday 13th January I let the plants dry out today due to the green perlite I'm seeing. DAY 13 -------- Thursday 14th January 20:45 The NL had dried right up and was very light. I slowly fed it 3L of week 3 nutes ensuring to saturate the entire medium. This produced no runoff and so I gave her another 1L and still couldnt see a drop so gave a further 1L totalling 5L. I fucked up though as I accidentally gave her 1L of week 3 nutes though I dont think this slip up will cause any issues. I will be irrigating on a daily basis moving forward after reading up at cocoforcannabis.com. I'm sold on the idea of always keeping the coco wet as it can always breathe especially with the amount of perlite I use. DAY 14 -------- Friday 15th January 18:00 I made 5L of week 2 nutes (pH 5.9) and collected 500ml runoff (10%) from NL from yesterdays 5L feeding which is not enough. Friday 15th January 20:30 I fed her 2L of week 2 nutes as I didnt see a drip of runoff after 1L. I checked on it 1hour later and collected 200ml of runoff (10%). [28°C/60%] DAY 15 -------- Saturday 16th January 20:45 I gave the NL 3L of week 2 nutes as I didnt see any runoff after the first 2L. I collected 1.6L runoff (53%). [21°C/70%]
