i had these far too low in the pot's had to remove some dying material from around the base to allow easier feeding and stop wasting of energy. Otherwise some very good growth with a double take in nutrients. very happy so far with coco and air pots and so are the plants they seem to doublt every 2 or 3 days so far!

stripped 50% of foliage down again and continued right on growing. Topped main plant tops and used metal wiring to help seperate the brandces for better light access!

Further defoliation. Apparently the plants too strong for the metal wire i used during LST will get twine and try to get some light in the middles without such drastic de-foliage! Going to feed every 12 hours and see if we can't squeeze a lil more growth out of her

it finally stopped growing up! defoliated top 40-50% of vegatation. Aldo increased feed frequency to twice a day. So 750 mil twice a day per plant and a half turn once a day plants seem to be loving it the buds coming slowly and we have 4 weeks left 3 till flush! My best grow i have done so far by far and definitely the best grow so far for plant health! Lets see what yields are like!

Found bud rot on one fo the top buds unfortunately my extraction fan had cut out and a damaged part of the bud had decided to rot. So pulled it all down after checking trichomes. Considering first grow in coco coir and the problems with the extraction fan. I am very happy with the results and will not be returning to hydro! Will be starting another grow in a couple of weeks after i install a new extraction system all fancy with digital control panel!

Looking awesome man! Once I switched to coco I never went back, root and overall plant growth is so much faster. Keep up the good farming!

@CheckThoseTrichs, Thanks buddy i am loving it myself to be honest and i came from hydro A little slower perhaps but you cannot argue that the plants are far happier!

I'm blown away by those growth rates, I don't think you could do better in full sun 😁
Uncle_Alf
Uncle_Alfcommented4 years ago
@dauntless, the last time i used the light i really struggled this time with the switch to coco. the light is doing far more than enough i figure i must of messed with something previously in the hydro. Because these plants seem to love it
