The germination of the seeds was done through the glass of water method.
The seeds are soaked in water for 12 hours, then they were transferred to the Coco, which I irrigated with a spray bottle every couple hours.
Now, I’ll wait 1 day to start fertigation.
Seedlings are growing well, I’ve started feeding it twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. Really low dosages, but I’ll start now increasing until EC from run-off get around 1.4-1.7.
Nutrients solution scaled to full dosages as recommended by T.A., removed the stems from nodes lower than the 3rd. Hoping they’re big enough so I can start manifolding next week.
Pre-Flowering going well, some small deficiencies and defects in leaves, but I think it’s improving after changing nutrients.
Happy to see the manifolding working, anxious for the results.
Only applying calmag once per week, I’ll see how it goes.
Plants are growing fast, still in pre-flowering and stretching.
Some leaves are presenting a deficiency, not sure if calmag or phosphorus, leaning towards phosphorus, but not sure on how to correct.
Ec seems low as well, so I don’t think it’s lockout.
pH seems in range as well.
I’m thinking of increasing A+B dosage until I reach higher ec, but I’m afraid of going over canna recommended dosage. Let’s see.
Looks great man, i'm also doing my first grow ever and im doing it in coco too, only 5 days ago did i realize that i have to feed it every watering, just at a lower ppm than normal soil, my plants started responding very nicely! And i see someone mentioned you dont need cal-mag yet, in my experience so far, as soon as i started feeding them cal-mag they became vigorously healthy, the issues and defects i saw before were instantly fixed, but thats my case so i might've had more factors in that affected it this way, coco is inert, it doesn't hold nutrients, thats a bit more tedious cause you have to feed and water way more often, BUT the moment you see isues, you can fix them by flushing, measuring your run off and adjusting accordingly, i've got some great tips from a grower here, he seemed very experienced, named m0use, after his tips and ph/ppm pen tests i managed to dial in the correct amount of nutrients and frequency, my plants seem very happy now, the one that was slow as hell initially and had burnt tips is now about to overtake the one that was growing well the entire time :P
@FunkyNutz, really happy for your plants.
I also have been enjoying planting on coco, I'm even planning an automatic watering system so I can have more plants.
Thank you for your tips!
Hey mate. So, coco IS completely different than soil.
You don't need all those now. Silica is for big plants with leaves. It strengthens cell walls etc. Also calmag YOU don't need yet. Coco is not like soil. It takes a few hours to stop or treat an issue. PPM for core NPK 3-400.
I'm sure you'll figure it out. Some nice autos. Have my own mephisto strains starting. Best of luck..
