Day 8 - She's still a little bit behind her twin, but she's growing daily and looking fairly good. In retrospect I'll probably skip using the rapid rooters from now on, in soil.
Day 14 - This girl *seems* to be healthy, but she's going slowly compared to her sister, and she's really wrinkly. Odd pheno? Grow conditions are identical so I'm not sure. I'mm assuming she'll cross some sort of event horizon and catch up at this point.
@CrookedyNook, It must be a weirdo mutant freak pheno thing. I mean it's growing fine, but man... Cupped wrinkly leaves that early on made me think I was constantly over watering her, which, in coco wasn't really possible.
@CRiSPrGrow, It's the most boringest answer ever :-D.
Lots of light, Maxigro, Maxibloom, Mammoth P near the end (Home brewed). PH usually at around 5.9.
Just trust your nutes, don't get fancy, (Maxi series is a pretty cheap and simple powder) and, in the case of coco, water with feed once a day, every day. This grow has had a water feed ONCE, at day 75. Nutes every time. See a minor deficiency or burn on the tips? Watch it, but don't do anything unless it gets worse over several days.
A decent amount of airflow. (But not blowing everything around.
Nutes are mixed in a 15 gallon barrel with a wood wine mixing paddle. 9-10tsp of nutes for 15 gallons water. So a 2/3 mix rather than a full dose.
Train 'em, (I do actual LST, no topping) do slow defoliation, (Mostly at the bottom, but also to make room between colas once pompoms come on strong.) Defoliation should be aggressive at the bottom of the plant, but not all at once. By the end of the grow, they are *Almost* lolipopped, but not really.
Keep pests out.
That is literally all I do, apart from keeping the room clean every day.
