So we are in the middle of week 10 and I feel pretty comfortable feeding them now, pretty much the same until next week when I give more Top Max. I've seen much more explosive growth on other diaries but I have to say I'm pretty proud so far for my first attempt. Staring at those fresh furry little balls of life is surreal, getting to this point is great, but it's far from over. So I kept the same feeding this week, still adding the Great White with mycorrhizae (and like 40+ other microbes) once a week as it says per directions. The BioBizz products are easy to use and hold up well, so I'm feeling better about going with them even though I had some issues at the beginning (all my fault most likely). I can dial in the feeding mixture PPM now first try to where I want it, so far 700ppm of a gallon every 2 days has been working out. I feel like at the start I was over watering because people say water everyday in coco, well that seems to be for the coco bricks. I am using FoxFarm Bush Doctor Coco Loco (long ass title just for some coco coir) with additional perlite and it has a lot more holding capacity than just normal bricked coco coir. For checking on when it needs water I still use the method of digging into the topsoil an inch and weighing the pots by hand. Also I've noticed if they are pretty tired looking after lights on then I'll water. Like everyone said, consistent fertigation has been the hardest part as a beginner. First week I'm posting a video, the fan can't oscillate so I turn it to the right, left, and keep it center as well as raise and lower it so there is decent airflow. I wouldn't say it's optimal but it works for now. I've raised the lights about 3 inches just so the top colas don't get burnt, I've also found the sweet spot on the potentiometer (power knob) where I can get maximum power without raising the temperature above 77f, which it quickly goes above 80f if I exceed it. I've done minor defoliation before each feeding (so like every 2 or 3 days), mostly just clearing the leaves from above while keeping the important sugar leaves and some fan leaves, even though most the large fan leaves have long died/turned. If you watch the first video I've posted you'll notice an injury on her, unfortunately I didn' I feel like I've failed on the C99 X Blueberry Auto, in fact I took it out of the title. I definitely kept it in nutrient lock even after repeated flushings, it seems to have grown a little and even looks like it's accepted its new life as a stunted sideshow geek never thinking of being the in the spotlight under my grow tent. On the plus side, the two normal Desert Lemon photo's look great, even if one is starting to look leggy. They haven't shown their sexes but it looks like they soon will, because frankly I don't have enough room and would like the leggy one to be gone. The two other shortest plants looks nice and green, shortest being the Black Sugar photo that I did some minor LST with tent stakes - and the very beautiful Gelat.OG photo that is so symmetrical it makes me want to put her in the spotlight (aka position 1 which I give most room/light priority too). Okay so that's it for this week folks, thanks for checking in and please comment or critique on my first grow! Any questions also welcome. -AthanasGrow

Do I need to do full strength with my Biobizz nutrients since they are organic and I am in coco/perlite or is half strength okay for first few weeks?

I would do exactly what you are doing. Start at half strength and work your way up if you see more deficiencies. It is always easier to add nutrients then to take away if you burn them. I always found the PH and nutrient lockout was more likely to cause issues then an actual nutrient deficiency. Veg is just to get your plant ready for flower, so don't rush her and make sure she is nice and healthy before you flip. Good luck and happy growing! 👊

What is a good substitute brand for an Acti-vera and Fish mix replacement? Alternatives to Fish Mix if I really don't want to smell fish.

Fish mix is recommended for outdoor use anyway. Bioheaven is meant to be good but I am yet to try it.

@AthanasGrow Basiccally any of the seaweed/kelp based supplements will do the same job as your fish mix just be sure to check if they are suitable for hydroponics Here in Australia I use a product called Seasol and at only 0.5mls per litre a bottle lasts ages. 👍

Biobizz I believe has everything in the type of nutrients you want to use. Sorry can't be of any better help.

I'm going to say one of your plants looks super healthy and short and fat like an Indica. The other plant that has slightly yellow leaves is more sativa leaning and is crying out for some nitrogen. From what I understand when a plant is going through the "flower stretch" its using excess nitrogen to push those flowers up but in your plant it looks like ours taking it from the leaves. Growing different strains at the same time can prove challenging when it comes to feeding as each plant will have its own needs at separate times.

try dry nutrients at least once, it's really so much easier (and cheaper)... there was a study done on cannabis fertilisers 95% of them are identical to alternatives for tomatoes... if you're looking to save money, save money on nutes lol i dont know what other equipment you need but that's one way to save! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, I got some Down to Earth Organic Bio-Live 5-4-2 that I've been sprinkling on top via a salt shaker once a week since week 3. I will put it in the coco/perlite mix next according to directions. I'd love to get some worm castings as well.

Save yourself a headache and get an EC/PPM meter, for soil it is a big help, for coco it's a must. I would use full strength. Although i would recommend a coco specific nutrient.

Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto myself. Got about 63 grams off her. I wish you the same success Good luck with the rest of your grow.

I do have one but I haven't watered it enough to have runoff. My next watering I will do it though, it was 300 ppm going into the coco/perlite. I will say this coco mixture is very husky/rough nearly like mulch not like the powdery stuff I've seen from some other brands (mines cocoloco)
