Mom’s growing Dutch Passion again...

Set Up: 3x3 Gorilla Grow tent Electric Sky 180 wideband LED grow light 6" Hyper fan for passive air intake/exhaust system 2 x 6" Secret Jardin monkey oscillating fans Vivosun 5 gallon fabric pots Coco-Loco growing medium Gaia Green organic soil amendments So, here we are again at the start of another grow cycle and I’ve decided to try something completely new. I’m giving up the bottled nutrients and going all organic. I’m following a grow technique being used by a Canadian grower by the name of "Mr. Canucks Grow". He uses CoCo Coir that has been amended with Gaia Green Organic Dry fertilizer. At the very start, this grower is adding 4 tablespoons of fertilizer per gallon of medium and it’s a 75/25% split of the grow to bloom fertilizer. Well, my hubby picked up the wrong CoCo (CoCo LoCo by Fox Farms) so I don’t have to add anything to this medium for about 4 weeks. The CoCo LoCo is a mixture of composted forest humus, CoCo Coir, bat guano, earthworm castings, oyster shells, perlite and dolomite lime for PH adjustment. When using this method of organic growing, the main concern is protecting the valuable microbial life within the medium/root zone and this is done by simply watering when almost dry with de-chlorinated water at a PH of 6.5-6.8. This may seem high for a CoCo grow but this mixture (CoCo LoCo) seems to be more like soil as it stays wet much longer and it’s packed full of organic goodies/microbes. I’m hoping that I can simplify the entire grow process as well as save some $ by going organic and hopefully I’ll achieve a beautiful harvest as well. I’m watering these seedlings every second day with 250-500 mls (a standard disposable plastic water bottle). Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow!
