Not really doing much just growing roots I guess. The color is slightly off, I will continue to watch it. I am watering to runoff daily but this coco loco seems to have a lot of other stuff that holds moisture. My other plant in pure coco and perlite needs daily watering.
This plant is totally stunted. I have another one going a Blackstrap from Brother Mendel and it doing horrible also. I tried coco loco and I hate it, it hold water forever and is too hot has stunted both plants. I have a cookies and berries going in Coco I hydrated and it's doing awesome. Not really into this grow TBH.
Plant has finally decided to grow. It's been slow going but I left town for 2 days and is tripled in size.
Doing ok, this coco loco has turned up fungus gnats. I am so over this crap I may scrap the grow and start over in straight coco.
4/19 I have increased feeds to 700-1000ppm. @6.0pH. move a second Black strap seedling into coco I hydrated and buffered last night.
what a difference 3 weeks makes! Been super busy with life and this diary has fell by the way side. Plant is doing great just got back from a 5 Day vacation and my drip system clogged and hardly watered any of my plants, should have used 11-12 gallons and only 3-4 were used. Have a second Black strap going just getting into flower but all the stems are weak and very floppy have been giving silica from day one and recharge every 2 weeks.
Plants are getting fat. I have a second one that is going to be nice also.
6/26 Grow is doing very well. Am really liking the drip system, I have it set to about 1.5gallons per hr. I am still mixing what I need daily and letting it run. My pH controller showed up today and once I get dosing pump set correctly can have it do multiple feeds a day. My next grow should be very dialed in! I am very pleased with this one, I have had a fairly easy time in Coco. My 1st grow yielded 7oz off 2 plants. The 2 closest to harvest seem to be bigger, and I think I will get more. The cookies and berries I included is 12 weeks and should come down soon. I have a second Black strap going also which is still in stretch. it's growing 2" a day and currently 36" from top of soil
Plant is yellowing a bit the other black strap is much more affected it appears to be a magnesium issue. I have added some additional to my feed will see. The plant is stretching at 2" per day. The primary one looks very greasy but smell doesn't match the look. It's there just mild.
Plants are pretty much on autopilot, I mix water and nutes in reservoir turn on drip emitters for about 90 min turn off. I haven't went to multiple feedings a day due to I need a pH controller and dosing pump to keep it in check my pH drifts way too much in 24 hours.
This black strap is huge, much bigger buds then my 1st grow. They just keep getting fatter, I think I am near chop. Overall smell is not there though will see how they taste. This plant will pro go to go 5-6oz dry, the second Black strap I have going just finished it stretch and is 43" just starting to throw purples and buds are swelling. Side branches are about 36" if this grows like the other I will prob have to support branches.
The large black strap is at 46" buds are stacking nicely. The other Black Strap is ready. Going to chop tomorrow. I harvested a cookie and berries tonight also
This is a really easy to grow plant that looks beautiful. Can get very large, the flavor is nice. I have several more of these seeds and will get grow again.
I am continuing my second plant I did a poor job on this journal, I am back on track and will keep this updated. After this I am switching over to my other profile and growing under that name.
Buds are filling out nicely. The room has a nice pungent order but not overpowering. Most colas are as big as my quart nutrient bottles. I have fed so heavily I am getting some nutrient burn. I have not gave them a plain water feed in more then a month. Doing. 3 day flush then will concentrate on finishing the flower and not stacking them.
I cant decide what to do with this plant. I have prob 70% white pistils still but all trichomes are cloudy or purple, I have no amber but not sure if they will. Buds are so dense I am worried about developing rot. I think I am just going to cut tomorrow regardless they are at least all cloudy.
8/8 had to stake up 2 branches they are so far bent over from buds, they just keep stacking growth and are throwing white hairs. Still no amber I am going to push it another 2 days cutting light from 18hr to 14 and see if that will get them to finish.
Finished up trimming that second plant, the final weight was 383g when you add in the 218 from cookies and berries 208 from other black strap and 60g from my Muchacha it comes to a grand total of 869g and 1.88g/w! my light was at 60% 459w entire grow
