Dan's Coco Log

I decided to give coco coir a shot back in January based on all the success that Blister has had and posted on this forum.  
 
This is what I am planning for coco this year:
1x Carolina Reaper (seeds from pepperlover.com)
1x Fatali (seeds from pepperlover.com)
1x Brain Strain (seeds from pepperlover.com)
1x CARDI Scotch Bonnet (seeds from Juanitos)
1x Scotch Bonnet Brown (seeds from pepperlover.com)
 
Current Nutrient Mix:
General Hydroponics Flora 1:1:1 tsp Micro, Grow, Bloom
1 tsp Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus
RO water, ~600ppm total concentration
 
Lessons learned so far:
- Don't let it dry out like soil, feed when it starts to feel light.  Currently 4 day intervals.
- Check runoff concentration for nutrient/salt buildup.  Recently burned plants when I had 1700ppm runoff.
 
Progress so far:
 
January:
 

 

 
 
February:
 

 
Reaper

 
 
April:
 
Reaper

 

 

 
Fatali

 
Brain Strain

 
SB Brown and CARDI SB

Dan, you should get some diatomaceous earth, and sprinkle on top of coco. Others have had success using it to eliminate pests. It won't harm the plants. Heck, you can eat the stuff(I do). It's good for digestive problems. It contains silica which is actually very good for plants... and people.
