The buds are forming nicely and I've topped the plants with some 2-8-4 mixed with coco. Have definitely seen better results in the flowering after adding it. I've noticed on of my plants (Plant 1) are these spots that don't look harmful however I'm just curious, what is causing it? Let me know! Happy growing!!
@sativaman, Oh yeah! I've noticed through my fifth week of flower that it is now a very strong smell! Sometimes Ill touch a bit of the flower and the smell that comes from my finger is crazy. I thought it would smell more like weed in the area that its growing in, but I gotta say its more of a very strong plant smell. But once you start to move close to it you really start to smell the strain and it really danks!
I saw your other journal with general hydro nutrients...
Thing is theoretically gaia green is not meant to work with coco coir. Coco is a lot different than soil (and is in fact hydro).
How did you watered your coco using the gaia products? Did you fertigate everyday with 20% runoff? Or did you top dressed and kept it moist without runoff? Or maybe something else??
@sativaman, I watered every other day with just regular water straight from my hose outside. I didn't put any nutrients or anything in the water either. I would water with roughly about 20% runoff give or take. I only top dressed the plant once and that was to put the Gaia Bloom so the plant would flower. I know that this isn't exactly a proper way of growing, especially in coco but I didn't have much knowledge when I started the grow and this seemed to be the most easy method on Youtube. I'm going to post my harvest in a few hours so stay tuned for that. The bud does look great, but the size of the nugs isn't spectacular.
@Lxcente, your girls look happy and healthy even with the humidity issues you have been dealing with. Plus, for a first time grow I have to say, job well done!
Best of luck with the grow and I'll be checking back to take a peek now and then. ๐
This is going to be interesting to see how your plant does: this is not the usual way to water and fertilise in coco but your plant seems happy and healthy! (do you know the site Coco for cannabis?) I love and use Gaia Green myself too but I am a soil guy. Inspired by Mr Cannucks??!! Let see how it goes in real life!
@sativaman I will have to check that site out! But yeah, I got into growing and learned from his videos! I'm glad they're doing well considering my lack of knowledge on growing but I will surely learn more as I continue to grow. Thank you for sharing the site! Can't wait to check it out
