Germination inside Paper Towel combined with an empty tea bag. Like on the picture.
4 of 4. Yeah. Good start.
Actually they are in my small "germination/1-3 weeks" tent.
This is my second overall indoor grow and first photoperiod grow.
Pretty excited about it. I love growing!!!!!
Day 4:
Not that much to say. Looking good so far.
Second overall indoor grow, first photoperiod grow.
I'm using the SanLight Flex II (10w) for the first 1-2 weeks. 200-300 ppfd at the moment.
So excited! Let's grow!!!!! yayyyy

Day 9:
Looks good. I'm only spraying the surface with water (EC 0,0 / PH 6,5).
Soil is without any nutrients. It's soil for vegetables 1-3 weeks.
Some roots visible. ...
Day 11:
Watered them today with super low nutrients. From above first. Then i thought, it's stupid to do it from above.
It's better to do it from underneath in this state. It keeps away the flies.
I started 5 years ago growing vegetables to learn to work with plants.
My plan was to get ready for legalization and growing from the beginning in a more ambitious way.
It's so nice, that this plan is working out actually..... :)
Day 16:
Yeah. They are in their final pots now. It's a 12 liters, 70% coco and 30% perlite.
EC is at 0,7. PH is at 5,8.
I upgraded my set-up with an osmosis tool. I can produce EC 0,0 water now. lol
I can use it for several things as well. My hair looks way nicer now. :)
My appartment is becoming a professional cannabis labor. :)
Plants are growing nice. Some marks on leafs on two plants, but i don't worry. Let them grow.
UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE: Hesi Nutrients didn't got a lot of salts inside. So EC is not working for hesi nutrients (Tell me pls, if i'm wrong).
Day 19:
Growing fast now.
I failed a bit at the nutrients. The tnt complex from hesi are organic nutrients. They EC was only the cal mag. lol
But the plants didn't get burned too much. I flushed them a bit.
Doing now the nutrients like the company is saying. Being careful now.
Watering every second day now. 1,5 liters. Keeping the cocos wet on 90%+.

Day 21:
Growing nicely. :)
music for plants:
The San Lucas Band - La Voz de las Cumbres (Music of Guatemala)
Day 24:
I topped them 2 days ago. They look a little sad about it.
Also trained them a bit with my hands. It's okay like that. They are easy to train.
Actually i'm watering them every 2 days. It's about 1,3 liters.
Nutrients, that i posted, are for 10 liters.
Everything looks good.
Already begin to smell and they smell nice.
Day 25:
Started with some training. They are easy to train.
Looking hilarious now. :)
Day 30:
Plants got some problems.
Actually, i don't know, what the problem is.
Will start a Emergency-Growers-Question!!!
Help!!!
Hi.
I'm a beginner and this is my first grow on coco coir.
2 of my plants having problems.
I'm watering about every 2 days with half amount of nutrients, that the nutrient company is showing on their chart.
So i'm not sure, if it's too much nutrients or not enough nutrients.
Day 31:
I made a grower question yesterday and got some help.
I think the problem was, that i made a mistake with the ph in one watering event.
I didn't got on my mind, that the ph raises after time.
I had a 10 liter solution and used half of it (PH: 5.8) and used the second half about 2 days later.
The ph got increased over 6.5 in 2 days, i guess. That's not good.
Anyway, made another proper research on growing on coco. Learned a lot again.
I will try now to find a 2 day watering schedule with the exact amount of nutrients needed.
Since the plants are photoperiod, i just let them stay in veg until they are ready.
This grow with automatics would already be average, i guess... :)
Day 35:
Finally, i know how to set up a correct nutrient solution.
Plants were struggling through veg state, because of me doing mistakes. :) Poor plants... :)
But right in time it clicked. Learned a lot in this grow so far.
So, I'm thinking about flipping them into flower the next days.
I will have high humidity issues in the 12 hour lights off part.
That's because i will grow automatics in the future.
I can keep the light on most of the time. Also i can control the humidity way better, by opening the tent holes, if needed.
Better control of the environment.
Day 37:
Flipped to 12/12 today. They look strong and finally i figured out, how to get it done.. :) I'm not stupid, but still not sure at all..haha
Growing goes on... :) I'm just learning growing on coco....
This is the time of my life... :)

I really like to cuddle with my plants.
Since photoperiod grows need to get totally dark for 12 hours, i miss cuddling my plants...krrtss
Hi.
I flipped my plants to flower 12/12 yesterday.
I'm growing on coco and planning fertigation once a day.
My nutrient company chart is showing me the flowering nutrients.
Do i have to start at flipping day or the day, they actually flower? thxadv..:)
there are several studies that show that going over various concentrations don't do anything but waste fertilizer.. "Boosting" usually doesn't have an effect unless you were underfeeding prior to that point.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8635921/
-- among other good sources of information.. google is a good search engine.
One note: in this study they are using N-sources unlike that used in soilless/hydro nutes (or something to this effect, if slightly off in explanation). You only need 110-130 ish PPM of N with readily available sources that don't rely on a microbe or whatever to break it down before it is plant-available and can enter through the roots. They mention this in the report at some point. They also point out the limitiations of the study, but it paints a good picture, nonetheless.
Force feeding a plant more than it can use doesn't help anything. Doies a plant need slightly different formula in bloom? probably, but nothign like what these nutrient companies suggest.
soilless / hydro
1-1-2 NPK ratios
4-2-1 K-Ca-Mg
~100 ppm S
All adding up to 1.3-1.5 EC, possibly even higher in some cases, but same ratios needed.
i find i do have to drop N about 10-15% in flower, which i don't consider a drastic change... I also lower Mg in flower closer to the suggested ratios above... i give more prior due to how i see the plant react and grow while trying i different levels and maintaining levels everything else as well as i can. No idea if i'm right, but having good results so far.
these are not written in stone, they are loose ideas to use as a tool to hasten trial and error as you adjust formula and hopefully get better results or revert and retry again until you do. consistency is required not to create a fog of war... easy to misattribute cause to the wrong effect if changing several things at once.. personal bias typically dictates what people want to give credit. it's messy and complicated... these companies don't even hire a chemist, i bet... stick to knowledge that is based upon many, many people working in professional ways to figure things out... far exceeds any 1 human's perception.
Another interesting read that pokes hole in the generally accepted nonsense that you need to drasticalyl amp up P in flower...

Day 39:
Watering every day now with about 1,3-1,5l. I will increase the ec every day now.
I'm still carefull. :) I think i can go up till max 1.5 already. Will increase slightly every day.
Let's see, how they react. Plants look very healthy actually.
UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE: Hesi Nutrients didn't got a lot of salts inside. So EC is not working for hesi nutrients (Tell me pls, if i'm wrong).
Watering 07.02 / Day 39 /
10 Liters Mix...
- Hesi Root 7
- Hesi PowerZyme 3,5
- Adv NutrientsCalMag 5
- SuperVit 1 Drop
- Hesi Coco 27
- Hesi Boost 10
EC 0,9
UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE: Hesi Nutrients didn't got a lot of salts inside. So EC is not working for hesi nutrients (Tell me pls, if i'm wrong).
Day 40:
EC is on 1,1.
I will document my daily watering from tomorrow on.
Plants look nice.
Watering once a day now.
Very rare defoliation. Lst going on, keeping them at the same distance to lamp.
Plants are super nice to handle in LST, very flexible.
Enjoying that grow now, after several drama in veg state. haha.
It's the life of a grower.....
UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE: Hesi Nutrients didn't got a lot of salts inside. So EC is not working for hesi nutrients (Tell me pls, if i'm wrong).
Day 41:
Exact fertigation documentation coming tomorrow.....
Plants are looking great, imo...
UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE: Hesi Nutrients didn't got a lot of salts inside. So EC is not working for hesi nutrients (Tell me pls, if i'm wrong).
Day 46: 14.02
Plants looking great...
I found out, that the hesi nutrients for flower stage are not really relies to the ec.
They don't use a lot of salts somehow, so i don't have to care about the ec.
It makes things complicated. haha...
So EC will always be lower, then on charts....
Plants look fine...no signs of deficit or excess...going on like this...
I will show exact hesi numbers i use soon..
Still doing some research...
music for plants:
*going on soon....
Hi.
Now it's the sec day in flowering and i'm using mineral fertilizer.
I'm growing on 70%coco 30%perlite with RO water. EC 0,0....
2days ago EC was 0,9.
Todays Inflow EC was 1,1. Drain EC was 0,0.
This means, that i can increase the EC tomorrow?
Which Inflow EC tomorrow?
It's the sec day in flowering and i'm using mineral fertilizer.
Veg was org. I'm growing in 70%coco 30%perlite with RO water. EC 0,0....
Yesterdays EC was 0,9.
Today's Inflow EC was 1,1. Drain EC was 0,0.
This means, that i can increase the EC tomorrow?
Which Inflow EC tomorrow?
If your current EC is 0, you could try to increasing it to 1.2 and more. Monitor the plant closley and if you notice any sighs of nutrient burn , you can lower the EC by 0.2
Day 47 / Flip 11 / 15.02
Plants look great.
Actually watering 1,7 liters per day per plant. Drain is ~20-25%.
It's a ~7 liter nutrient solution.
Nutrients that i wrote down is for one watering event.
Since hesi hasn't much salts in their nutrients, the ec isn't worth checking.
I will go on, increasing nutrients every second day slightly.
Looks already very impressive.

D48/Flip12 16.02
Preflower is visible, so flowering state will begin officially.
Next time, i will start "Flower Weeks" with that day. :)
Last 12 days were more like vegetative state.
It's my first grow with photoperiod plants, second overall proper grow.
Plants look amazing.
Doing everyday a bit of defoliation. I'm taking of leafs, which take light away.
My plan worked out. There will be a lot of flowering, to be honest...
This tent will go crazy soon...holymoly :)
And yes, there's a spoon on the net for some weight in the middle. :)
Day 56 / Fl 8 / 24.02
Hi... :) Due to high humidity, i had to change things.
I did start to treat the coco like normal soil in terms of watering.
Every day watering is increasing the humidity too much. I let it dry out.
Watered today for the first time since 7 days.
They were pretty thirsty, but didn't show any deficit before.
They were fine i guess, maybe even done some more root works to search for water.
I changed the nutrients to plagron cocos line combined with hesi Roots/Powerzyme/Supervit nutrients.
Now i can monitor the exact ec like on the plagron chart.
EC is at 1,9. Let's try it. Will monitor exactly the plant's behavior.
PH is on 6,0. Should be like that. I'm planning to water every 4-5 days.
I will make changes on my setup to have more control about the environment.
Plants are looking great, like you can see on the pics.
With this amount of flowering and having the tent inside your apartment, it's not possible to keep the humidity under 60%.
At least not, where i'm living. I really try to avoid using extra energy to control the environment, but i have to do so soon.
When buds getting bigger, mold possibility will increase.
I don't want to lose any grow/harvest because of mold and loosing all the energy that was used for nothing.
Actually, it looks like another 250 grams dry in a 2x2 feet (60cmx60cm) tent.
That's amazing, and i'm pretty excited about the strain and flavors...

Day64/Flower16 03.03
Optimized my setup.
I can handle humidity better now. Just in time. Puuh.
I also changed back to hesi nutrients.
Plants are really thirsty now.
Watering every 2 days. Actually using about 12 liters. About 3 liters per plant every second day.
Plants are really looking nice. Super excited.
Plants are super easy to train, amazing flexibility.
You can almost do knots with the branches. :)
Growers life is an adventurous life...yeah...
Day67/FL19 06.03
Everything looks fine.
Planning to water them everyday as long as i'm not busy.
Trying to figure out the exact amount of hesi nutrients..
Day 71 / FL 23 / 10.03
Plants look great.
Nutrients, that i wrote down, are for 14 liters solution.
Actually watering every day until 10-20% drain.
Pretty exciting to see them flower.
It's amazing to see, how the plants develop.
Day 79 / Flower 31 / Flip ~40 / 18.03
Plants look super frosty.
They should be ready in a about 1-2 weeks already.
Need to check that carefully though.
I will harvest at 10% amber.
I'm watering every second day, actually.
Using the EC again, but hesi got also organic nutrients in their coco line.
EC is at 1.6, i'm using RO (EC 0,0 water). So i'm using even more nutrients, then shown in the hesi nutrient chart.
Plants like it, i guess. No signs of burning.
It looks like they turn a little bit into purple.
I will start to use only water soon to begin flushing and i plan to let them dry out the last 6-7 days.
Stress them as much as possible...
Day 80 / 19.3
Started flushing stage. Every 2 days.
Flushing with EC 0,0 water till 40-50% drain.
I have a RO system, costs were 90 e.... Works fine...
I have tap water in EC 0,8...The off water from the ec 0,0 water, is still nice, it's ec 0,4...
If you want to optimize your grows, that's a thing to do... :)
Day 82 / 21.3
Drain EC 0,4
I didn't used any additional heating in this grow.
I guess, the temperature was always under 25 degrees.
Yield will be lower due to lower temperature.
Terpent profile will be better due to lower temperature.
I will now do a proper flushing and drying out..
Nutrients will be soaked out of the cocos and the leafs..
Final weed will tatse better like that. That's the idea....
This 2-3 week finish sounds pretty good to me... :)
Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?
Day 85 / Flip 46 / 24.3
Flushed them again with EC 0,0 water.
EC Drain is now on 0,0.
The next step is to let them dry out.
Nutrients will get soaked out of the leafs now, which will make them turn yellow.
Letting the plant die now with full light power.
I'm planning to harvest in 1 week.
Grow is running nice,.
Plants look super frosty and will even get more in the drying stage now..
yayyy.....:)
Day 91 / Day 52 / 30.03
Additional stress with a 48 hours no light stage.
harvest will be at 1. APRIL

I'm planning to cure at least 3-4 weeks before vaping it for the first time.
Next Grow in line. Will start in about 1-2 weeks.
One of my first yearly music festival in the hague starts on friday (rewire festival).
I'm feeling so excited, actually. Spring/summer is coming as well..yayyyyy
23.04.
About 2,5 weeks of curing done.
I have about 234gramms dry until now.
Vaped a bit and it's awesome.
Pretty strong sativa effect throught the end.
Feels like a energy drink.
Perfect summer weed, instant energy, euphoria, creativity.
Summer can come!!! :) uuuuhuhuhuhuh
