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.

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
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow: Great growth and sidebranches are also already shooting out!

A bit of defoliation on Black Rainbow to expose the new branches.
General
——
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: The issue seems to have stoppedor at least slowed down a bit
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Issues resolved, growth is fine
SQ1 - Big League: Opening her up didn't realy do anything, replacement selected... Good to have some backup plans
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow: Great growth, removed all old fan leaves, currently about 60cm high!

Autoflower moved out of the tent so the light was at a DLI of 40 for this week.
Training

Pre-Flower defoliation and installing of the scrog net. Starting day 41 they I will switch to 12/12.
Wasn't able to fill out the whole space but due time constraints that's totally fine for me, had to tame the Black Rainbow
General

Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: Hope that she will explode a bit more. Previous issue seems to start again on lower fan leaves, let's see how it turns out
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Growth is okay, hope that she explodes a bit

Removed a lot of leaves to open them up. The two plants in the front are spreaded great by the net. Did a a bad job on the ones in the back. But this won't happen next run :)

Since I spotted nute burn on the plants the feed will go down to 2ml Canna Coco A&B the following weeks. Other than that everything runs smoothly
Grounded Genetics - Zilk Road: Growth is great!
SQ1 - GRCxBBC #1: Small buds but frosty & smelly! Smells like ice cold grape
GasStation - Gush Mints x Grape Cream Cake: Started to show buds this week. Doing fine so far

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
Lit Farms - Black Rainbow: Terps are nice, smell like a Gas Station. 2-3 Weeks and she's done

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

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.
