Hello Everyone! ๐
This is my first diary on GrowDiaries, and I'm hoping to both provide and receive help from the community! Let's grow together! ๐
โ ๏ธ Please note that I'll be referring to my nutrients in grams/liters instead of ml/l.
๐ฑ All my nutrients are from growinglifebr.
Firstly, I started by washing my coco with tap water (a lot of it) and then I submerged the coconut for 38 hours in a solution of calcium nitrate with a strength of 5EC. I got this method from a friend on Instagram, @terp.gambler, and also a video on YouTube titled "How to Buffer Coco Coir for Hydroponics" from the channel @Hoocho.

I washed my coco again, this time using the vegetative solution (mentioned in this post) to ensure that my runoff matches the input - 0.7EC (350ppm) and a pH of 5.8. After that, I placed them to rest ๐ค inside the grow area with temperatures at 24ยบC. Additionally, I soaked all my seeds in a glass of water with a single drop of hydrogen peroxide 56% for 48 hours.

I placed all the seeds directly in a vase (300ml) with coconut peat (very fine particle size) only!!

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy growing! ๐ฑ
@BudBoutique, Im struggling with Low VPD, runoff showing excess (in 1.6EC out 3EC+) - idk whats happening but let see next days ! Anyway, thank you for your comment ๐๐
Oh looking at this brings back memories of last summer. Most of my crop when like this. When the pigment on your leafs goes the close/higher your light it burns the leaf like that. My whole crop was like that last summer. My heat was crazy between 32-35c so I had to use co2. But, when I was sleeping I'd turn off the co2 completely and the co2 dipped below 350 a few times and the leafs were burnt to s..t like that. I still got some amazing strenght in my bud. Lost a lot yield wise but, overall a massive learning experience.
Good luck with your next
