Starting a new medical grow, Blue Medi Kush from Spliff Seeds
Bought myself a nice christmas present as well: a Spectrum King 402+120
Germinating in a coffee filter and a zipper bag.
30/12
Prepared small pots of coco with Canna start for first use in preparation of seeding tomorrow. 💪
31/12
All 5 seeds germinated (as can be expected from Spliff seeds) 🙌
1/1
Light set to 30%. We have a lift off!
Nothing much this week. Little roots are starting to show, I'll repot them tomorrow to their airpots.
Transferred them to airpots. I'll start watering with Canna Coco tomorrow.
The Spectrum King produces quite a lot of heat, I have to keep the vicinity of the growroom at a temp of approx. 18°C iot keep the growroomtemp within range of 25-26°C.
Gave the 5th seedling away to a friend; he'll grow it to take cutlings of of it for his first hydroponic grow.
Also, Airbomz refills are sold out in every webshop in the Netherlands; I'll order a CO2 Boost bucket to replace my Airbomz.

Watering from the Blumat drip system now.
Changed the position of the webcam for a better overview.
Installed the CO2 booster yesterday: it surely doesn't work like it is advertised, it raises the CO2 level in the growing room with only 75ppm.
Looks like I wasted my money on that one.
The plant in the lower right corner seems to stay a bit behind. It also has a few spots on the leaves.
I'll update with new photos along the week.

Thanks @Athos and @Bulbi for the advice.
Since I can't get my hands on some CalMag before monday, I made a new solution in which I added Mills Vitalize and gave the coco a flush with it.
Although slow, there seems to be some recovery.
22/1
They're recovering quite nice from the Ca Mg shortage with the foliar spray I made.
Instead of CalMag I used mono Ca and Mg: 2ml Rhiz, 1.5ml Ca, and 0.75ml Mg in 1 liter demi water.
Hey DS, athos you're correct your plants need something, in fact what they need is micronutrients. There are three categories of plant juice: nutrients , that's coco a and coco b, then there's additives that's rhiz and zym for you... then there's micronutrients, something super important for your plants! so micronutrients are minerals commonly found in soil but that you need to add to your coco grow : they are calcium and magnesium most importantly but also silicum, mobidglium, iron, and others... so you do need to add cal/mag to your feed. problem is cal/mag uptake is through the roots is not that efficient. So what i suggest you do is make a foliar spray with 2ml of rhiz and 2/3 ml of cal/mag and spray them until wet once a day for 3/4 days. the rhiz stimulates the growth hormone in the plant and the cal mag is absorbed at a very high rate of efficiency through the leaves. they should recover within five days like that. hope this helps ! 🚀
Plants recovered nicely from what seemed to be a Mg and Ca shortage.
Topped them this morning.
Got the flu so I'm a bit short-spoken this week.
27/1
Light sched set to 12/12
Switched to 12/12 3 days ago.
Cut the fan-leaves as they were growing awfully big and kept the light away from the bottom stems.
They're becoming nice and bushy now. Awaiting their stretch.
2nd week flowering, they're in their stretch and started pre-bloom.
Had some root probs as well caused by the heater-fan.
Removed the heater from the tent and flushed twice with Cannazym/Rhizo solution and a bit of sulfur. Looks like they're recovering. 💪
They're still not like I'd want them to be.
Treated them with ARTS wortelrot (rootrot) foliage spray and added 10ml to the remaining solution.
Turned down the temp with a few degrees to 24C daytime, 18.5C nighttime
Stems are still wilting and turned red.
The plants don't look too healthy overall; poor rootforming is to blame (transplanted them to the large airpots too early).
They're in bloom now so we'll see what happens.
Nope, nope, nope and nope. Not gonna fix this no more.
Problems with the leaves are getting worse.
Looking in to what might be the primary cause with the help of Hidde from Plantarium in Nijmegen.
Luckily these ladies are fast bloomers; they have to keep up for only six more weeks.
OK, missed a few weeks posting. Sorry about that.
Flushing for a week now, nearing harvest.
Despite root-problems from the beginning and excessive stretching it looks like yield is very reasonable.
Gonna grow this strain again with my next grow, applying the valuable lessons learned during this one, as I want to get this right.
Had some root problems from the beginning because of some rookie-mistakes. Despite the plants growing too tall, still a very decent harvest. 😍
The taste is great and very smooth. It gives me an uplifting high, makes me want to do something and hungry as well. I actually love it and I'll make this one my daytime med.
As said, had some root probs. The plants never looked like I wanted them to. Still a very nice yield of 271 grams. I stated earlier I was gonna grow some more of this but this one is gonna last me at least half a year so I'm switching to Blue💤 Berry. from Spliff seeds
Sorry to hear you're having problems but glad Hidde's able to help out! Shoutout to the Plantarium crew! On the glass-half-full side of things this is one of our fastest flowering strains, so I'm still optimistic about having at least a decent harvest.
Good luck, still loving the pics!
@SpliffSeeds,
Thanks!. Perhaps it's good to know that it's not the seeds/plants nor the nutrition or materials used.
It's all me just making some terrible rookie mistakes. 😬
On the other hand, this grow is gonna teach me some very valuable and needed lessons.
hey there for more information of magnesium deficiency try : https://www.growweedeasy.com/magnesium-deficiency-cannabis and calcium deficiency : https://www.growweedeasy.com/calcium-deficiency-cannabis ... uptake efficiency through the roots is around 15%, uptake through the leaves is 85%+ the math is simple ! any other questions just let me know ! 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow,
Thank you so much. I'm pretty sure this will help.
I guess I've been a bit too hasty with this grow; on my others grows I added Mill's vitalize in the first weeks. Also I didn't prepare the coco well enough.
Thanks again for your help, I'll keep posting.👊
To answer your question:
You forgot a very important thing when growing in coco, it needs to be suplemented with calcium and magnesium. See the interveinal yellowing? that is textbook magnesium deficiency. The rust spots? that's calcium deficiency. Get a calcium / magnesium additive (calmag, calmax, etc)
@@Delicate_Sounds,
i feel you!! I've been vaping tiny undergrowth that i've determined would be hash material anyway. It takes two full bags at 300 fahrenheit to rid the moisture and then it hits on the third hard at 380 activating all cannabinoids besides thc-v. Seems to be effective but I have to stop and be patient...i know it will be sooooooo much better.
