Here we go.
2 for 2 germed.
Trying to pump the humidity up it's sitting near 70 I'd like it abit higher.
Dropped the seeds into a some great white as a wee started snack for the roots, with some calmag and bioheaven as we're in coco. I know the ecothrive has some charge in but I've gave them a wee dose to begin with and sorted the pH.
Day 14 today.
Upped the grow to 2ml/l as per the biobizz chart.
Added in 2ml/l of bio-heaven.
Great white shark and myco chum for the roots and I'm going to start using voodoo juice also to use up the rest of the bottle I've got.
I've got runoff trays now, saves me draining 5 litres of water off the floor with a jug lol. That was a nightmare, 2 weeks in and I'm already learning new things lol.
It seems that I've got some discolouration on the plants wether that is ph light environment I don't know as yet.
RH 70% average, I've dropped the humidifier now.
Temps at 24 daytime.
Light has been dimmed to 50% incase the rust edges are being caused by the light. Will start training these this week coming. 💪
Happy growing.
GG4 sherbet.
Day 22 as of now pics were taken yesterday.
There's 2 clear different phenos with these, which isn't as noticeable as the other strains as of yet.
Both have been topped and seemed to have responded well.
I was worried that there was some light burn, I've put the question up and see what you guys think also. Maybe just me being me lol.
RH at 65-70%.
I've dimmed the light for now to 25%. I may increase the power back to 50% in the coming days.
I've kind of got to grips with watering until runoff now, I've got trays in so I can drain away the excess.
Any suggestions or info hit me up.

The last few pics from today day 28, so thats us at 4 weeks old. We've got another couple of weeks before I flip them yet.
I've topped them both last week, both have responded well. Also gave a big defoil and got the plant wire out (even though I promised myself I wasn't going too) lol.
I keep thinking get a net for the tent and I'm running out of time to do that, I'll get one in this week coming up and start messing around with it.
Will keep adding the Great white every week until I run out of the stuff and get another tub. I've switched the myco chum for b52 just as the tropicanas are showing some k def.
Week 5-6. I'm getting ready to flip these after the weekend.
I've got biobizz calmag, as it has zero nitrogen compared to the plant magic formula. Added some nirvana to the mix also as one of the tropicana cookies has some K def showing. Also added molasses I'd normally use bud candy or some sugar product, opted to go natural this run lol.
The 2 of these are the 2 bigger plants out of the 6. I've been doing different bits and formed a few knuckles to see what that effect has in comparison to lst on other branches. Light defoils when needed have been done to expose the branches underneath the canopy. Both plants have developed a nice even canopy at the minute.
All pics are from today. First day of 12-12 to kick off flowering. Swapped the grow for the bloom straight swap at 2ml/l added bud ignitor for the obvious reason. I've added algamic and terpinator also now we are at 12-12.
Cheers to creepysteeve for sending me down the rabbithole regarding ppfd, gottagrowsometime you get a shout out for hammering home the basics again for me.
Light is around 18 inches away and in the corner the ppfd is just under 400. Right in the middle at canopy level it's closer to 700.
Excited now I've got these flipped into gear and canny wait to see what buds they will produce. Both plants are very big and bushy, responded great to the kicking I've given them both.
Very late update. Wife was pregnant at the time, baby came 6 weeks early I lost interest in coming online and 18 months later I'm ready for the digital world again.
@Swollen, 2 have been germed, I was planning on doing a 6 week or so veg, so I can fill out the tent with the 6 that I've got going. I've got a nice wee cheat guide also, thanks to you. I'm calling today day 1. The purple colours on yours buddy are beautiful 😍 🤩
@Stork, it's been a good first week. I'm currently learning about how much water the pots need, as I've only done 2 in coco before I'm glad they are all well and looking healthy.
Hey brother, glad to see you made the switch to Coco! Once you get it dialed in you will NEVER go back to soil, I can guarantee that, the roots absolutely explode in coco. Only medium I use and thats for cannabis and my vegetables. If you have any questions along the way hit me up and good luck brother!!!
@Aldo90, Hey now, your are correct, the ppm is just half the number of ec. So if your ec is 800 your ppm would be 400. So if you are feeding at a ppm of 700, make sure your runoff is only around 800 ppm. If it is much higher than that increase the amount of fertigation or the fertigation events per 24 hours. If your runoff is too high that means the Coco is drying out too much resulting in more salts which will harm the roots over time...
@Canna96, I've been checking both the pH and ppm runoff. Do I need to get an ec meter or is the ppm one OK? I thought they were both the same thing but different way to measure it. Again sorry if that seems daft lol
@Aldo90, you are correct the runoff is waste, however I mix mine with my dehumidifier water to lower the EC then PH it and feed it to my outdoor tomatoes which love it. You should also keep an eye on the EC of the runoff, if it gets too high that means your plant is drying out too much between feedings causing the salt content and ec to spike in your medium. I grow everything in coir so any more questions hit me up and good luck!
