Since I did some mistakes with my soil & PH during my last attempt I will start from scratch.
This time I will use Coco as a medium with Canna Nutrients.
14.10 - Put into cups
15.10 - 3/4 showed tap roots & planted the three
16.10 - As Big League Seed didn‘t pop open, added Zilk Road by Grounded Genetics
17.10 - Zilk Road & Big League showed tap roots, planted both. GRCxBBC broke through soil
18.10 - Black Rainbow broke thorugh the soil
19.10 - Big League & Zilk Road broke soil (One has to go, most likely Big League)
Watering 60ml/Seedling PH 5.8-5.9 Water daily if needed
Since this is my first Coco Grow I had a lot to learn in the first week. I started with a small amount of CalMag and quickly noticed it was not enough and got some yellowing. I also started to introduce Canna Coco A & B by slowly rising it to 1ml/l. I used ChatGPT to analyze the water I use at home and it seems to work.
The GRCxBBC #2 looks pretty mutant to me and seems like it has some issues. I'll watch it but have a replacement that's currently growing in a smaller size pot and doing great. Btw. I also had to do some surgery on this pheno as the seed shell was stuck on it.
I watered a couple of times with 1000ml per plant but started to move back to 100ml/plant per day as it was too much.
General
——
Plants are doing somewhat okay. I overwatered a bit due to misconceptions about how coco works and guides that said I should always water completely until drain. Note for me is that younger plants should just get a little water even in bigger pots.
One of the SQ1 GRCxBBC has a mutation where only one leave is comming out at the top, hope this will resolve in week 3. Replacement is growing in a smaller container so switching out 1 plant isn't big of a deal.
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow is so far the best of them all. Great growth and sidebranches are also already shooting out!
Nutes
——
CalMag is at 1ml/l as my water here is pretty soft. Could maybe bump it a little bit but it's fine at the moment.
Canna Coco A&B are at 1ml/l will bump that in Week 3 to 1.5ml/l to see how the plants react.
Also introduced Rhino Skin at 0.5ml/l
Light
——
Light was increased to 240W earlier that week to give allow the autoflowerplant more DLI but I turned it down at the end of Week 2 as it was too much for the seedlings at 20DLI.
Training
——
No training at this stage
General
——
Plants are now drinking a lot more. Bumped the watering to 400-500ml per plant which gives around 150ml of drain. 24 Hours later the pots are pretty light.
My PH Pen was off by at least +0.6 the last two weeks. Ordered an Apera PH20 and hope this will resolves some issues in the future
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: Same issue as with my other grow. Could be due to the leaves touching the ground
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Has some issues and I had to remove a couple of weird looking leaves
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #2: Mutation is still a thing and the plant is generally not healthy. Give her another week if it doesn't recover Big League will take over
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow: This will be a monster. Great growth and sidebranches are also already shooting out! Hope to get a clone or two of her
Nutes
——
CalMag is at 1ml/l as my water here is pretty soft. Could maybe bump it a little bit but it's fine at the moment.
Canna Coco A&B are at 1.5ml/l will bump that in Week 4 to 2ml/l to see how the plants react.
Rhino Skin stays at 0.5ml/l, maybe get's bumped to 1ml/l in Week 4
Light
——
Backed down the light as the intesity was too high. The autoflower which is in flowering stage got hit with 55DLI so it's back down to 150W. The fems are getting a DLI of around 20 at the moment.
Training
——
No training at this stage
General

Switched the Autopots on this week and noticed I wasn't giving them enough water. They are drinking a lot more than what they got.
GRCxBBC #2 was killed and it has shown that the roots wasn't developed very much.
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: Issue still does continue, doesn't affect new growth and branches that are currently developing under the canopy
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Has some issues and I had to remove a couple of weird looking leaves
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #2: Has been killed!
SQ1 - Big League: Pretty flat plant, will open her up a bit

Lifted the plants at the bottom up a bit. Should have thought about this way earlier in the run. They are now roughly 33cm higher than before.
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: Has some issues but I'm not sure why. Yield won't be that nice but Buds smell like crazy
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Buds generally exploded. They are dense and heavy. Smell is awesome!
GasStation - Gush Mints x Grape Cream Cake: Way behind the other plants but still doing fine. She will be harvested on the early side once she fattens up and everything turns cloudy

Last 2-3 Weeks of the plants, most of them are doing fine. May start flushing mid next week or at the end of next week
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: Just keeping her alive as long as possible. She's not impressive but had a lot of issues from the beginning.
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Still doing fine and shows nearly no syptoms of nutrient issues. She can take a beating for sure
GasStation - Gush Mints x Grape Cream Cake: Maybe 3 Weeks till she is somewhat ready. Terps are a banger!
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow: Still smells like a Gas Station :)

Removed most of the nutes this week and hope that the Gush Mints will finish a bit faster. Even tho most hairs are still white the trichs are 80% Milky and 20% Clear.
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: 100% Milky, no Amber
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Could be harvested as I have around 95% Milky and 5% Amber. Will push her another week as I don't have a room for drying at the moment
GasStation - Gush Mints x Grape Cream Cake: 80% Milky, 20% Clear
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow: 100% Milky, no Amber

Surprise, Surprise. Did another week and most of them should be ready by now.
Gush Mints still has a lot of white hairs and could go for another week or two but I have limited space and need to move the other plants into this tent soon.
So this will be the last update before they get chopped in 2-3 Days :) BroScience but they will get roughly 24-48 Hours of darkness
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: 95% Milky, 5% Amber
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: 95% Milky, 5% Amber

Strain
---
The Strain is pretty resistant. I topped and used LST spread her out. She did great under harsh conditions and grew like a champ. Should have spread her out more because I had a lot of popcorn to how crowded it was.
Taste
---
Tastes chemical, could say like a permanent marker smells, and gassy. No real sweetness in it.
Smell
---
Smells like a Gas-Station in a Forrest with a hint of sweetness in it. When burned the smoke smells like a permanent marker
Effect
---
The good stuff of both worlds. First an energetic head high with munchies which slowly drifts into a stoned feeling. Can put you to sleep easily.
Grow
---
Should have spread er out more, she produces solid and dense buds with great colors
Even tho the conditions were perfect at 20C/60% RH she and her sisters dried pretty fast. Maybe it was due to the ventilation that I had in place. Not sure what the cause was.
Took 7 days for her to get ready which was roughly 20 hours after the hay smell was gone.
Strain
---
What can I say. Maybe the best and most resistant strain I've ever grown. Others had a lot of issues when the PH was out of range, this one not the slightest.
Produced solid dense buds even with less light due to the distance to the lamp.
Turned purple/dark mid flower and stayed like that.
Taste
---
Sweet, Fruity and Cakey
Smell
---
Smell grapey, sweet and to my surprise a bit like cake dough. Maybe with a hint of banana in the background.
Effect
---
Doesn't put you to sleep right away. Clears your mind and keeps you with a smile on your face
Grow
---
Should have elevated her earlier so that the buds would have been bigger.
Even tho the conditions were perfect at 20C/60% RH she and her sisters dried pretty fast. Maybe it was due to the ventilation that I had in place. Not sure what the cause was.
Took 7 days for her to get ready which was roughly 20 hours after the hay smell was gone.
Strain
---
She's a princess, was pretty sensitive to nutes and also PH issues. Nearly died due to it. Yield suffered a lot as she's light hungry.
Taste
---
Kushy & Grapefruity
Smell
---
Smells like grapefruit with some gas in it
Effect
---
Put's you to sleep without a doubt. Is a hard hitting strain
Grow
---
Like I said she's pretty sensitive
Even tho the conditions were perfect at 20C/60% RH she and her sisters dried pretty fast. Maybe it was due to the ventilation that I had in place. Not sure what the cause was.Took 7 days for her to get ready which was roughly 20 hours after the hay smell was gone.
Strain
---
Great strain and I will grow it again! She's a bit sensitive to nutes and stress but rewards with big yiels.
She should have gone another 2 weeks since she started to flower 1 1/2 weeks after the rest but still had the highest yield!
Taste
---
Cookie Dough and Grape
Smell
---
Smells like Cookie Dough with some sweet in the back
Effect
---
All day smoke! Keeps your head clear and focued. Just a bit of body stoned in the end. Love it

Easy to grow & get's huge

@PersonalSmok3s, thanks 💪 was looking at your diaries before I deceided to give Coco a try. Hope to get some nice plants in the end after I fix the issue that I'm currently having. 15L Pots wasn't smart to begin with 😄
Das sieht wunderschön aus. Die schönste phase ist einfach das Budswelling am Ende. Die Grc x BBC zeigt mal wieder das Banana Buttercups mit Abstand die meisten eiskalt überholt. Ich glaube wenn man BBC mit einer Gurke kreuzen würde wäre auch die Gurken Frosty A.F. 😜 Hat deine auch so richtig ungewöhnlich nussige Terps ?? Als würdest du beim Tanken einen Nuss Riegel kauen.😉 Vieleicht eine hilfe für dich, bei mir war GRC x BBC F2 am Blütetag 65 perfekt (10-15% Bernstein Trichome). Sie sollte mindestens 60 Tage und bis Tag 70 wäre alles OK, je nach präferenz.
@Stony_German, freue mich schon drauf wenn die durch sind und ich die GRCxBBC endlich testen kann :) Tatsächlich keine Nussigen Aromen bei mir. Riecht wie eiskalte super süße Trauben/Beeren Bonbons. Deswegen geht die auch in Reveg sobald geerntet wurde. Versuch Steckies für ne Mutti zu bekommen 💪 Werde auch so BT 65-70 anpeilen, das passt dann mit den neuen Pflänzchen.
Schönes Endergebnis Kumpel. Die Gush Mints ist hoffentlich Terpy aber eine muss immer aus der Reihe tenzen wie bei uns sagt. Oft sind die häßlicheren phenos gar nicht übel. Die anderen sind wahre schönheiten. Frohe Ernte und möge der Trimmjail auch deine Nerven strapazieren😜 Wir alle lieben und hassen ihn gleichzeitig.😉
Trimmjail wird die Hölle 😄 die Gush Mints riecht aktuell übrigens nach Fruchtsaft so Richtung ACE Saft. Gespannt wie es schmeckt
Von der Zilk Road hab ich ein paar Popcorn Buds von ganz unten schon getrocknet, das Zeug haut hart rein und drückt ohne Ende. Geht Richtung Zitronengras
Endlich ist es soweit. Wenn ich dir einen Rate geben darf. Zum ersten mal habe ich die neuen Safe vac (vakuum curing) von Grove Bags probiert und bin so begeistert das ich gar nicht genug loben kann wie gut die Blüten schmecken. Durch den Ausschluß von Sauerstoff beim vakuumieren bleiben die viel länger perfekt. Ich war stur es zu lange in Gläsern zu machen. Dann haben mich GroveBags überzeugt und jetzt noch das im Vakuum gibt einfach die besseren Buds auch kann man viel länger long Time lagern ohne das die bräunung der Blüten passiert. Sie sehen alle aus wie frisch getrocknet am ersten Tag. Ich kann dir die Safe Vac mit ruhigem Gewissen empfehlen. Ich werde im nächsten Report mal schreiben wie das am besten funktioniert. Viel Freude bei der Ernte Kumpel.
Danke für den Tipp, die kannte ich auch noch nicht. Werde welche bestellen und austesten 💪 Long Time Storage ist sowieso immer so ein Problem finde ich da kommen die gerade recht. Ansonsten zu den Pflanzen, werd wohl noch eine Woche pushen müssen, bis auf die GRC hat noch keine braune Trichome, da sinds so 5%, und die Gush Mints braucht noch. Leider kein Platz um die GRC alleine aufzuhängen momentan
