First go in coco. Must admit I'm a wee bit terrified, moving out of what I know on this run. I've only ever used AN nutes, will be using bio bizz on this run.
The seeds both popped. So good start so far, they are both alive I was going to start off another of the same in soil as a side by side comparison. Maybe I the next few days I'll do that.
Under the mars ts 3000
Watered the coco with some voodoo juice and b52. Hopefully we see what this coco is all about, heard so much from people but then I don't mind soil. I know I can grow good weed with soil so this needs to impress me to get to switch.
Recovered I think from some issues with ph. Leaves were abit pale I thought but now have came back with a nice green colour. I'm hoping to be proved wrong here with the coco, I'll be starting a dairy soon as a comparison between soil and coco with the same strain and nutes. All good so far despite the paleness at first. We will we some massive growth in the next couple of weeks I'm sure.
Start of the 3rd week. Thinking I've poisoned them time will tell. If these survive I'll be happy. I'm a schizophrenic, I over think alot probs have been doing so here. Upped the grow. Time will tell.
I've just been leaving these to do their own thing, giving them space and keeping the coco moist well trying too. I've just been following the BioBizz chart, using their products with some great white and myco chum. I think I was guilty of over watering these at first and overfeeding with nutes, I'm glad I've tried the coco, I'll get there in the end with this if we don't try we don't learn. I will say this despite me over watering and almost poisoning them, they are alot bigger than the ones in soil. I need to get some pics of those and update the dairy. These are in preflower atm, very fast growing strain.
Today is approaching week 8 for these day 53. They are looking good to me anyway, obviously I can see a few issues need fixing but that's something I'll learn along the way. They are looking good at the min and compared to the skittlez in soil the plants are much bigger.
Growing in coco, I'm glad I made the choice. I've went from thinking I've fucked it to now thinking I might have to change up to coco full time. When you compare the sheer size difference then it seems the coco is ×10 better but there's a few hiccups with the feeds I've experienced so I'm going to try coco again and get the AN sensi coco line or I was thinking the plaragon bases, AN that's what i used the majority of the time till I've switched it around abit this go.
I've started them on green sensation and took out the topmax. They are now concentrating on fattening up and I'm excited to see how big these buds do become. The soil skitllez has a beautiful smell I hope both these are the same.
Nice and steady with these 2 ladies. I've added nirvana to the mix for some extra k boost. Upped the myco chum also as that has quite a bit of potash also. Added in rhino skin to add some silica to her, sumo boost also added to the mix. Some light lst and defoil has been done but this being my first coco run I've just wanted to get the feed and ph correct so training has taken a side step for now.
As per the cover picture, the soil comparison skittle which has had the same feed and sprouted 5 days earlier, now one has been topped. Both plants in soil and coco have a very similar structure, both were being given the same fertiliser. The skittlez in soil has had its last dose of flush and will be getting chopped in the next few days. These are still a few weeks away from being flushed yet. But the actual plant size difference at the moment is immense, I'm rather shocked as I'm a cynical fucker most of the time and the coco plants tower over everything.
Good strain. Coco vs soil. Soil 1 plant same 28g vs the coco which had 75 which was plant number 1. Plant 2 went another week until 15 weeks and yielded 100g.
OO owl coco.. am trying my hand at coco again. Well mainly coco have about a 70-30 coco/light mix soil for my plants. Hoping to get more quantity this time.
My last round pult like an average of 40g off my girls. Heart breaking but it's the best by far I've grown. Just trying to get Quantity and quality now
@gottagrowsometime, my man, somehow I either get a ounces of stuff that's not good at all or I get half the yeild of chronic. I feel your pain. The coco one here in comparison to the soil looks like it's going to be quite a difference in yeild but the one in soil has rushed ahead also, I'm ready to start that on flush where these 2 have taken abit longer and they were sprouted first.
@banurnerphone, mainly think I've overdone it cause of the colour difference between these 2 and the soil comparison are completely different. I'm learning with coco as I go along also. Worst that happens will be a small yeild. You've gotta fuck right up to kill a weed plant lol
@banurnerphone, I've done skittlez before from fast buds. These were from herbies some free seeds didn't say the name of the breeder so I'm a little confused about em lol. Normally I want to start terrorising em tying em down topping em ECT. But as these are in coco I'm going to just focus on getting that right as it's my first time in coco I don't want to make any mistakes with nutes and ph. I'll check yours out now
@banurnerphone, aye mate they are quite chunky, they are still fattening up these 2 yet. Both are towering over the rest, for my first time in coco vs the soil one I can see a major difference, the soil skittlez has been chopped down and in the dry tent right now these still have a few week before were at that stage. I might have to switch up my game abit and go with coco, but it'll depend on the final yeild and quality comparison to them both. How long these buds have became has took me by surprise, when you compare them to the soil one these 2 are huge, hope they keep pounding more weight on over the next few weeks and give me another headache to think about coco vs soil lol
Cannabis roots love coco because if you keep the coco wet constantly the oxygen to moisture ratios is perfect. In soil, you can only water every so often or you will drown the roots, so when the soil has just been watered, the roots are lacking oxygen. When the soil drys out they get plenty of oxygen but are lacking nutrients and water. Obviously there are many pretty good soil blends out there and some that are much better than others and offset these negative effects slightly, but it still cannot compare to coco coir with high frequency fertigation. If you try high frequency fertigation in coco, you will be blown away, i guarantee you. 💪
