Day 14: this week I introduced a small amount of nutrients for seedling and cuttings. The first weeks seemed so slow but around day 12 they just started growing noticeably faster, they are still short just how I like them in the start leggy seedlings are so ugly lol. All 3 are growing same the speed and size and are already showing signs of secondary branches starting. One actually got knocked over I seem to be doing that once per cycle but thankfully with the coco sits nice and loose and very light so it didn’t affect the plant at all.
One plant is a slightly lighter green hard to see and the leaves are also not quite as wide as plant 2-3 the smell is a little more pungent than the others as well. Surprisingly these little things are already giving off some smell I thought was from another plant but turns out it’s these 3. Already smelling a bit skunk fresh at 2 weeks nice and when rubbing the leaves they are skunky with a touch of diesel.
Next week I will transplant and start bringing the nutrients up a touch.
Nutrients:
100-150 ml per plant every other day or once dry
Ghe Floragro 5ml per g
Ghe FloraMicro 5ml per g
Ghe Florabloom 5ml per g
Ghe CaMg+.
5ml per g
They got this twice over the week with one ph 6.2 watering in between. They also get a light water misting once to twice a day.
coco is a forgiving medium mate. make an error and it can be instantly flushed away if needs be. I love it as a quick grow throw together too. As long as you keep the ph around 5.8 going in all will be good. It leeches calmag from the plant and nutes so have some handy as your going to hit the most needy bit next. The gnats area pain in the ass but if you cover the surface with decent sand , the larvae get stuck and the adults cant get down to lay eggs. you can also try a 20%milk/80 water in a spray bottle to wet the coco surface and mist the plant with it too. it wont smell or do any damage at all but will kill any soft bodied insects as they breath through a membrane on their backs often and suffocate from the milk deposit. It will go straight through the coco too so no horrible stinky residue
@Ganjagrandaddy, thanks for the advice, yea I’m liking the coco compared to soil I just got the watering down I was still watering like soil up to a few weeks ago. Just waiting on some mesh pots coming today I’m going to try with my clones either way much better with coco.
Yes I been feeding CaMg+ which is organic base for soil but the bottle is almost done I feed usually 4ml per gallon throughout the grow. And will get some CalImagic once this bottle is done.
Adult Gnats I got under control they can’t fly far either to the floor to get squished or on the sticky pads it’s the young ones. I’m going to try the milk idea I recently used 9 parts water to 1 part alcohol and it literally destroyed spider mite population was only a few stragglers left and on another plus side it didn’t kill all my pistils on my flowering plant like insecticidal soap that killed barely any mites just pistils lol. So I totally believe and will try the milk lol thank you.
@Grnhead, thanks bud it’s a fun process found out some cool things along the way. So weird best weed I’ve ever smoked was on vacation in Jamaica called Columbian Gold (some really Skunk bud) and it turns out was one of the parent plants to Skunk No1 small world no wonder I like this particular skunk so much. Can’t wait to see what the lemon adds to it was a smelly one to
