Optimizing pH and Nutrients
The pH of the coco coir should be between 5.5 and 6.5. Use a balanced nutrient solution to ensure your plants receive all the necessary nutrients.
Planting and Transplanting
Plant your cannabis seeds or clones in the coco coir, ensuring they're at the correct depth. Transplanting should be done once the plants have established a strong root system.
Regular Maintenance
Keep the coco coir moist but not waterlogged. Regularly check for nutrient deficiencies and adjust the feeding schedule accordingly.
Harvesting and Post-Harvest Care
Harvest your cannabis when the trichomes turn from clear to milky white. After harvesting, dry and cure the buds properly for the best quality.
