8-22 This is the survivor out of the 2 autos that I germinated. So far she's going good. 8-26 Im thinking I should probably preemptively strike with some extra cal/mag or Epsom salt, I have a feeling this one might end up like the other 1 if I don't. I don't think I precharged the coco enough, but we'll see. Damn internet, can't get solid, good, reliable information on growing. It's hard to sift through all the info and get any answers, even to simple problems. I guess learn by doing 8-28 She's finally moving along! And looking healthy so far. I'm thinking of moving away from my tap water over to RO water. My tap water wasn't too bad, but recently our town has been having some issues with the water and so it used to be 120-130 ppm without any chlorine, but now it's up around 250+ppm and they are going to start adding chlorine. I was thinking of getting an RO system anyway for my drinking water, so it'll benefit me in more then one way. Just need to decide on one...

@DWCKhaos, that's a strong look start for a great strain! Coco is my go-to soil medium! One word of advice is to learn what your pot feels like when watered and when dry. I water now based off of weight and it's made a HUGE difference in grow times (for certain strains). (Tagging @ItsLegalInMyHouse as well because it's their first coco grow too!!)

@DWCKhaos, If you lift the pot you can tell if it needs watering by how light it is. Learn to judge the halfway weight by feel, when the pot feels less than half full, water it. Try this lift technique for two weeks checking daily. You’ll be a pro at the end of that two weeks. Indoors, normally plants can go 1-3 days between waterings in 1 to 5 gallon containers. Young plants may go 5 to 7 days between waterings.

@randyJustice, I thought with coco you water every day unlike soil you do wet/dry cycles? And also isn't it bad to let coco dry out? Or am I misinformed? Teach me the way...lol

Good luck on the grow man! Good choice choosing coco, it’s great! I’m on my first grow too, prepare to learn a lot and have plenty of fun! 😃🌱

@DWCKhaos, yeah give it a go and see what you think 😊 for me coco was great because it’s harder to overwater than soil and easier to flush out nutes if you give too much 👍🏻

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, Thanks for the encouragement! So far, I like the coco, we'll see if that continues. I'm still trying to learn the basics of growing in pots, since I like growing in water, but I'd like to do it year round and this would be the way to do it.
