Canna Pro Coco 70%/Perlite 33% in Root Riot seedling bags to start, will then transplant into final 19L fabric pots.
TA β Dualpart Coco Grow, Dualpart Coco Bloom; Pro Roots & Pro Bloom, FinalPart & Flashclean.
SF-2000 LED lighting, 2x4 tent with 4 inch exhaust fan and carbon filter.
Growing Fast Buds 420 auto strains β May consider topping if thriving early, otherwise heavy LST. Excited to try both of these strains from Fast Buds.
Sour Diesel β An easy to grow and hardy strain growers of all levels can appreciate. High in THC levels, reaching 21% with the world-famous fuel, citrus, sandalwood, and pine flavor that comes with this vintage Sativa dominant hybrid. Despite her Sativa influence, flowering time will only require 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest, making her ideal for growers who want classic, overpowering, pungent, sour terps in a short time frame. She may grow as tall as 120cm in height and will produce long, stacked buds typical of Sativa Cannabis.
Blue Dream- Quick growth and yields of massive sized buds of fruity and floral sweet, citrus, pine, orange, and berry terps give this strain its well-deserved great reputation. Blue Dream Auto will be ready to harvest between 9-11 weeks, producing THC rich flowers that have tested at 22% THC. Thanks to her heavy yields, this hybrid is ideal for commercial growers in search of high potent, large yielding automatics. She will also produce a large amount of top quality sugar leaf meaning extractors can prepare the trimming nets in advance. A very aromatic and fragrant strain that is best suited for beginners who want to try a Sativa-dominant hybrid. Branches will grow quite thin, typical of Sativa plants, and when flowering commences can grow to a height of 110cm.
Week one begins! Excited to try these strains, old favorites..
The burn on the tips were likely due to slow pace of transplating from root riot to seedling bags. Seedling bags were cut on all four sides and then placed inside another seedling bag to help ease transplanting from seedling bags into final container. Coco mix was added to each bag and then used .5 of grow/bloom diluted to EC's below. Seedling bags pre-soaked in EC 400 solution prior to moving cubes into bags.

Slow...first week is slow.
Beautiful looking plants!πππ½ They looks super healthy and the growth rate is perfect!
Was looking at your dairy since day one, love your detailed explanation!
We share similar grow styleπ½
Was wondering how do you like the dualpart series form terra aquatica?, I use their tripart for some time now.. Wondering if it'll be easier to use the 2 part one
Good luck and have fun growing brother π±
@1_Plant_Wonder,
Thanks again for your kind works of support, much appreciated as a new grower. These two have been an amazing experice to date!
I have used both the tri-part and dual part coco now on two grows; The 3 vs 2 bottles does simplify the process and I am likely to purchase the dual part coco again when these bottles run out. With my water and autos I run ~40% strength nutrients at ~1200 EC using the dual part coco.
I had also considered the Canna line as they are also a two bottle setup and there are some examples of sucessful plants with Canna.
Been following along with your Purple Punch as it is on the list to grow in the near future...
Take care and enjoy the journey! π
@SwissKush,
I am hoping for some face melting! π΅π Thanks for the feedback, I still cannot believe they are mine! They smell great.....getting closer.
Plants looking fantastic!ππ½
Once most trichomes becomes cloudy, it won't be long before the amber starts to appear, and then flushing, so if you think you're a week /week and a half before that stage, start with final part;)
(Usually terra recommend 10 days of final part before flushing, but with autos everything is faster, so a good week of final part will do to my opinion)
But MY question is, would you continue using Calmag along with finalpart? Or not..? That I truly don't knowπ
Good luck! π
@1_Plant_Wonder,
I think the Sour Diesel is ~2wks from finishing based on other diaries with coco/ hydro/similar size. I was thinking FinalPart for 12 days and then 2 day FlashClean followed by ~ 2 days of water flush to run-off EC the # escapes me, but based on cocoforcannibas recommendations.
Good question on the CalMag and FinalPart. Both plants have minor rust spots. TA on the Coco formulas suggest no additional CalMag is needed, and I think FinalPart would be the same. My experience is even buffered coco with a specific coco fertilizer formula still needs CalMag added to any water you use to dilute to get your EC. Now with FinalPart you are basically just feeding bloom nutrients. Would not adding CalMag block some other needed micro nutrient during the final 2 weeks of flower? I don't know, but someone on the forum would perhaps. For now since there is already some signs I was planning to add it to the next feritgation with any water used to dilute to EC. I was thinking I could always fade it over the next week or so.
There are a few trichome pictures of SD at end of week 10. Mostly cloudy and some clear. I will grab some more photos with the USB microscope camera tomorrow. It is a challenge to get good photos..
