Alrighty then.. it’s week 2! These ladies are poppin off under the COBs, it seems like pretty quick growth so far compared to my last run of CC. I’m not sure if it’s the lights or the coco .. maybe it both but it seems to be working great!
The plants are lush green and healthy - they’ve gotten some nice growth on them for seedlings. I’ve worked on refining my nutrient feeding schedule and I think I’ve got it almost dialed in now. The plants seem to be doing better than the last time, no nutrient problems!
Ill also include my tutorials I’ve been working on for this grow series !
Making the Perfect Coco Coir
Items Required :
Dried Coco Coir brick
Course Perlite
5 gallon bucket
Pillow case
Fabric pots (recommended)
CalMag supplement (recommended)
PH meter (recommended)
First things first , acquire the items above !
I highly recommend getting the suggested materials for this project as it will make your life a lot easier ! You can do this without the “(recommended)” items but it’s not as ideal.
1. Place your coco coir brick into the pillow case. If you can break the brick a bit as well it will make the process go faster in the next steps.
2. Get some good water(distilled or RO is best) and adjust the PH of the water to 5.8
3. (Optional) Add Calmag to your chosen water source, I used 5ml/G of water. Ensure PH is between 5.6-6 PH
4. Place the coco pillowcase inside a 5gallon bucket. Add the PH’d CalMag water.
5. Let this solution soak and absorb the good stuff from the water for about 20 minutes. Add more water if needed, it should be a soupy consistency.
6. Remove the pillowcase from the water and place it in a drainable area. Let the extra water run out for about 20 minutes.
7. Get your Fabric pots and add about 1/3rd volume of Perlite for your size of pot.
8. Place the saturated coco coir in with the perlite. Gradually mix the components together until you get an even mixture and a full pot.
9. You are now ready to use your coco and it is set up for an ideal start - Perfect PH, Extra CalMag and fully saturated !
10. Check out the watering videos each week to learn about watering and proper nutrients.
11. Add your seed, clone or transplant and place under an appropriate grow light.
That’s it everybody! Now you know how to get your Coco Coir off to a perfect start for optimized growth of your cannabis!
Tune in next week to learn about the easy LST method to improve yields!
Happy Growing!

Its Charles Parato....I have one question about WEEK 1 your feeding during that week...how many days after you planted did you wait for the first nutrient feeding? I think I am going to use this feeding schedule for Fast Buds Zkittlez...in the germination process now....will have a diary started next week or so...already putting together some videos and photos....probably post my diary a week behind my actual process...more or less I want to know HOW SOON CAN I USE THE RAPID START???
@@TheWeedMan, well I jumped the gun loaded my first diary....I didnt know you could easily edit it for each week....I will add a Day-7 slide show of each plant again....THEY LOVED THE 1ML CALMAG & RAPID START each..green'ed right up even started TINY TINY TINY little serrated leaves in like NO TIME FLAT....they were looking a bit purple...on the first round leaves......BUT GOING GREAT.....got what 14-15 likes on my diary in my first hour....THANKS AGAIN YOU DID A GREAT JOB LETTING SOMEONE TEACH THEMSELVES.....im going to nail this thing,,,,I DONT HAVE ANYHTING ELSE TO DO BUT GIVE PLASMA TWICE A WEEK AND PLAY ICE HOCKEY TWICE A WEEK....well thats my physical therapy...Ice Hockey....payed for it all with BLOOD MONEY from the Plasma center...O'yeah that reminds me I need to list my expenses for my $1000 4x8 tent budget grow....this new light I think even you would approve of....I LOVE IT...so much better....photos of it in the TENT SET UP SLIDE SHOW....totally impressed...compared to the others I thought were good....brighter to the eyes, and better spectrum according to the camera

@@TheWeedMan, whelp I said "FUCK IT" which is actually a BOOK TITLE I started....I said all 8 look great its day 3.5-4 lets go for it....so I hit them with a light quick watering at Ph 5.8 with 1ml Rapid Start & 1ml CalMag both GHE....based on the color...RAPID START is just more Magnesium in it...TOTAL RIP OFF....but I got it for $7 so im not going to complain....WOW THAT TOOK MY Ph WAY DOWN...had to check three times before I had the right amount of Ph UP in there to put it at 5.7-6.0....I CANT AFFORD A QUALITY Ph meter and the cheap one NOT GOOD AT ALL...so using the chemical Ph test kit....but rinsing things off...My R/O/ water is already perfect at 6.0 so I have to love that for $0.87 a gallon from the store...have to see how my tap water is after my R/O filter system arrives...BUT FOR $90 it will pay for itself in under a month.....GOT 8 UP ALL ABOUT 2 INCHES...LOOKING REALLY GOOD...should have a diary worth looking at come Tuesday night Wednesday afternoon....I THINK IVE GOT IT....went all Zkittlez figured trying to deal with four different genetics to soon would be a disaster for at least half the plants...I have to heavy's and two moderate to light eaters....LOOKING GOOD....hope they can handle the CalMag & Rapid Start...1ml each to about 1.3 gallons...BUT VERY LIGHT WATERING......will Ph water again later to make sure it hasn't changed to much....but I use a CHEMICAL PUMP SPRAYER...they work great nice reach controlled flow and precision watering...not to mention great reach in tough places....JUST TAKE THE TIP OFF ITS A REGULAR WATERER....I love them for $10 use those to RAISE HUMIDITY in my tubs for Boomer Asiansan's
@@TheWeedMan, Welp, got all 8 up and growing...about one inch each...3 are still kicking the seed shell off...day 2 since they all broke the surface.....looking good so far...not bad for a first time rookie...gotta get through this first week they seem to all be responding well to the coco I placed them in...nice dark green leaves....first diary will go up on Tuesday or Wednesday....that first 24 hour part is nerve wrecking
@OutForReal, training works great. I haven’t done any other plant training as I worry it may stunt growth. But with aggressive LST training I got these lovely plants 👊🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
