They are spreading out well. One plant is lighter than the rest not sure why. It is probably growing the best out of them all.
Buds are starting to form now next week they should go into flower . Will introduce some boost .
They are transitioning to flower now.
PAR 530
they are stretching a couple of the plants are getting quite big I hope they slow the stretch soon. I gave the talll ones some power buds from Plagron. Just to see if it will slow the stretch. Other than that looking good.
The guavas have stretched a lot this week . Even with the Plagron power buds . But looks like they are sowing down now and will switch to bud development. They don't seem to be heavy feeders 1.4/1.5 is all they seem to like. Introduced some pk13/14 to the schedule . Canopy is faulty even now will feed for another couple of weeks and begin the flush. Looking good 🌱
PAR : 560
Stretch is finally complete. They are working on buds now been giving some pk.
I did a side by side test with the new additive power buds. I used it on the 2 plants that were stretching quite a bit and lacking behind. I would say the stuff definitely works. As it slowed down stretch and switched them over to bud production. This should take some time off.
The apricots are the smaller out of the 2 strains . Shorter flower time too. I will start flushing the apricots next week.
Humidity has been quite high so that may slow growth a bit . Just made sure I have enough air flow in the tent.
pH in 5.9 ph out 6.4

Humidity has been an issue this week. But I have kept up air flow and they are still growing well. Buds are developing nicely. A couple of the apricots are nearly done will chop them next week after a flush .
The apricots look quite frosty and I think I have one with some purple in.
The guavas will need an extra week or 2 as they are a bit bigger. Looking good. 🌱

PH in 6.0 ph out 6.4
Chopped the 3 apricots . 2 are firing and 1 is drying will do a harvest result soon. Not as good yielding as the guavas book they polm nice and frosty and the buds fattened up quick.
The 3 guavas are big. I'm flushing one and will start flushing the other 2 on a couple days. Nice nice on them they seem to be finishing nicely.
Turned the light down to about 500 PAR.
looks like it will be a good yield for a 70 day grow. Harvest soon. 🌱
Hope you don't mind the question, with your amounts given per fertigation in previous diaries ml per feed, do you water every 24 hours with the ml stated? Or every few days and wait for weight to drop slightly.
Never done Coco and debating using a lot of your schedule as it's very thorough and your plants look like they taste lovely.
Any help appreciated, soil grower all my life, I have asked two friends and gotten two different answers one waters then let's dry in veg and the other feeds similar volumes to yourself daily.
Asked doctor Google and got completely different answers again.
Fast buds are the nuts. Looking good again chief.
@HeavyHittah,
I still over watered with the autos in Coco I ran. Mate offered me some cuttings and to get some Xmas smoke in decided to back to what I know to guarantee a harvest.
Will defo return to Coco and retry at some point. Thanks again for the advice and time.
@Beadle420, feeding varies. In veg I will usually feed every 2 days with nutrients everytime in Coco. It's good to let the Coco dry out a little in veg as it helps spread and grow the root system.
In flower (depending on their size) they usually require watering everyday.
Best way to tell with Coco is if the top layer goes slightly dry , you can also do the weight test when pot is a bit lighter.
The key is to never let Coco dry out fully like soil as it's a hybrid between hydro and soil.
Water with nutrients everytime in Coco.
Ec in veg I do calmag until my water is 0.4 then up to 1.3
In flower calmag up.to.0.4 and then up to 1.6 .
No need to go over 1.6 with autos I have found. Maybe 1.8 if they grow big.
The best auto diary I did was the strawberry pie , use that schedule if you need as I filled that diary out well.
Also keep in mind a bigger pot may require less feedings. I used 10 litre pots.
Hope this helps and I've explained it well enough. Any questions send another message 👍
Looking good. So good I can almost taste it....keep it up chief! Glad the stretch calmed down on you. Filling out nicely. Look like the frost has hit early this year where you are!
