After my previous attempt at the Royal Dwarf where I failed for many reasons, I started this grow 33 days ago. My plan is to keep it simple. No LST this time, just regular feeding with the pH Perfect Sensi Coco Grow A+B.
I do understand that I have a magnesium deficiency so I need to get some CalMag to give her, and to buffer the coco for my next grow.
Day 36 and I finally "got it" when it comes to coco and watering. I added a runoff plate filled with clay pebbles under the 3-gallon fabric pot so I could just water until it has runoff. After I got that it will be much easier to just follow TaNgs EASY Auto Feeding Schedule, I might also supply with AN Voodo Juice and Sensi Cal-Mag Extra.
Day 38 - After I figured out how to properly water my coco she started to look really good and healthy. The feeding schedule with 2ML of each Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Coco Bloom A+B per liter of water, and water to runoff each morning seems very good and simple :)
Day 42 and she has been doing very good. Watering until runoff 1-2 times a day. Getting some yellow on the tips of the leaves. Could it be because the light is too close? I can raise it a total of 10-15cm and then I'm out of height.
She's growing a lot and seems pretty healthy except that the tip of the leaves is turning yellow. I'm gonna change nutrition from 1ml to 0.75ml and see if it helps.
Very happy with the results so far. I'm thinking about one week before I stop using the nutrients and feed her water only. She smells amazing and she looks generally happy :)

Day 81 - I feels she is very close. Checked trichomes with my digital microscope yesterday and she still is mostly clear. Some cloud-ish. Watering her about 2-3 litres per day, aiming for runoff without checking every time.
I might have cut her down a bit early, but I just followed my gut feeling. I will update on weight and tastes after drying (and curing), but I did some samples along the way and I can tell already that she is getting better and better.
UPDATE: 90 grams (+14 gram popcorn buds) after she is dried and trimmed. Put her on glasses for curing as long as I have patience for. The vape I get from her is amazing already :)
@moshcann,nice one man, I bought some proper bell jars but they were not cheap, then I found a similar mason jars in a nearby big shop that does a bit of everything, the only difference is the lid is a tiny bit fiddly on the cheaper jars haha
Good job so far man. Looks really healthy and happy. You were right to dial down a bit. You're reading your plant well now.
Make sure runoff ppm is close to feed ppm. Coir likes to leech a lot of salts in dry pockets and a heavy feed with a lighter, dialed down solution will fix your nute burn.
Good info and very useful chart found here:

@moshcann, Not a problem at all my dude! Glad I could help you come this far!
The only meter you'd have to calibrate is a PH pen and that requires calibration solution.
Fortunately, with the ppm/ec meter, you don't have to do any calibration at all.
I have two that I never calibrated and they are still stable after years of growing. (distilled & r/o water measures at or near 0)
They are very cheap on ebay. Here's a link to the same one I have:

By the way, your photos are really crisp and vivid. Lovely eye candy. Keep up the good work! 💪
@happytrees, thanks a lot! Your comments has been very helpful and I honestly don't think I would've come this far by now if it weren't for what you have written. Thanks a lot :)
I don't have any device to measure ppm, but I'll see if I can get my hands on to something. If it's a device i need to calibrate I probably won't get it yet.
Thanks for the link :) I've been reading some of the other articles on that site, but not that one. Definitely gonna read it, thanks again <3
@Crwfz1, I started recovery from magnesium deficiency a week ago, so she is doing better by that. I'll try to chill with watering, but I'm afraid of letting the coco dry out. Is it okay if the top coco is dry as long as the rest of the coco is not?
