Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been about 20 years since my last grow.
After doing much research, I decided to grow in Coco since it was similar to how I grew (not expertly) many years ago and just seemed like a good idea for me. I rinsed the Coco then soaked it for around 8 hours in CaliMag loaded water...drained it and did it again. I then flushed the Coco to ensure low salt buildup for my seedlings. I basically followed the instructions from Coco4Cannabis website on how to prepare/buffer Coco.
The beaner was germinated by soaking it in distilled water for a few hours, then switched to the paper towel method. The seed sprouted in 2.5 days and was placed into the final container: a 2-gallon fabric pot filled with moist coco and tented with a large plastic bag. In my small grow tent, space is an issue, so 2 gallon pots are as much as big as I can get and still have multiple strains. After 2 more days, the sprout popped through the Coco. It had a hard time standing up straight out, but after a few days was looking good.
3 days in and the little sprout looked pretty good. And then this proud papa got destructive. I watered with 3/4 liter of water, and the EC measurement of the runoff was VERY high. I got worried, and over the next 4 days, proceeded to water 500 ml, 0 ml, 550 ml and 250 ml (gradually increasing in EC from 30 to 300). After this, I stopped watering for a while as the plant stopped growing...
