The new stash has arrived, I just got to grow it.
Wasn't planning on starting another grow before the end of summer, but I haven't planned any vacation so might as well keep me busy.
I can harvest my current grow within 2 to 3 weeks, so these ones can take their place right away.
This will be a quick round, with only 2 weeks of grow before switching to 12/12. I should be ready by the end of August.
16 plants of 4 strains will get a spot in my largest tent, 8 plants of the other 2 strains will go in my smallest grow tent.
I planted 30 seeds, 5 seeds per strain. Normally I use plugs to germinate seeds, this time I put them directly into coco/perlite. Didn't add any nutrients yet, just misted with pure rain water (PH down to 5.8).
I only need 4 plants per strain, so counting on 80% germination.
Will get back in a few days when I see the first signs of life.
@Psilocubensis,Actually I haven't, this is pure improvisation. My previous run I grew 1 plant per pot using these fabric pots and cocos. Each plant split into 4 main branches to get 4 main buds per plant = 16 cola's.
Even after 2 months of veg and 2 months of bloom, I found that the roots still had plenty of room to spare. Filled to the top these pots actually hold 30L of cocos.
This time I want to speed up the process, skip the long growing and training time, and just put 16 small plants into flowering instead.
The run before that I grew 12 plants in this tent (my Critical diary), each in a 6L pot with clay pebbles. That went OK, so I have high hopes this will work as well.
@Psilocubensis,before starting to use these fabric pots with cocos, I used to grow 12 plants in this tent. Each one in a 6L pot in clay pebbles.
My previous run I used these pots with one plant per pot. Actually when I fill the pots to the top with cocos, they contain about 30L each.
After 2 months of grow and 2 months of flowering, it appeared the roots still had a lot of room to spare.
Instead of growing 4 plants and top them to get 4 main branches on each one, this time I decided to just grow 4 plants per pot.
This is the first time I try it like this. It's a test but I have good hopes.
