Day 16 - The slow growth I noticed last week was caused by the lack of base nutrients, as I suspected in coco is very different than in soil. For the next runs I'm going to buy Vitalink PlantStart in order to feed 'em by the very first days without the worry of overfeeding. Now the ladies are doing great and loving life! Still feeding them 1 time per day until they will be big enough to begin feeding 2 times per day. Day 17 - Today I noticed the beginning of what I think is a Calcium deficiency on the first leaves of Gorilla Cookies. I have cut the CalMag Xtra 5/6 days ago, when I started with base nutes, because a guy I follow who have the same line of nutrients have to use it only the first 2 weeks. So, I re-added it to the mix at 1ml/L and adjusted pH at 6.0 in order to fix the deficiency. Now the PPM is a 750, hope the roots are big enough to take it without burning.

Day 23 - Had some problems with Calcium because I had not buffered the coco... Made a nutrient flush with a solution of 2ml/gal of CalMag Xtra and 1ml/L of Sensi Coco Bloom A/B diluted at 550 PPM. Now the run-off PPM is higher and the ladies seem recovered. Wish I learned from mistakes. Keep running 🙏🏼 Day 25 - Everything ok. The plant's growing strong and healty. The growth in coco is soo faster than soil!

Continuing tie down the taller branches. They are showing sex, I think they'll be into flowering for next week.

Day 45 - Found the GC's main branch broken this morning. My error was tying it down too much. Never had plants so big so I'm still learning the best way to LST them in order to fit them in my closet. Takin the broke with philosophy: I never topped a plant, so I'm curious to see how she will develop from now and how much she will yield. Keep growing and learning every day 🙏🏼💪🏼🌱 Day 48 - Ladies are stretching much more every day, going to be two big girls 😋😋😋

Day 51 - Ladies are stretching sooo much, still can't believe I'm growing plants this big! Day 53 - Introduced Big Bud Coco yesterday and raised Voodo Juice, Tarantula and Bud Candy at 1,5ml/L. I'm going to stop with the first two at day 56, the plants are big enough for my closet 😅 Stay safe and keep growing 🙏🏼🌱✌️🏼

Day 57 - Yesterday I noticed that the leaves are darker than they should be, so I re-made the mixing solution lowering the PPM from 750 to 550. I've tried to raise it to see how much nutes that ladies can handle since it's my first time in coco and I like to experiment. Now I'm going to finish this mixing solution and then stabilize the next ones on 650 PPM. Keep learning every day 🙏 Day 60 - Today I added one extra equivalent 75W LED to give the lower nodes more power. Some fan leaves touch it, wish they will not burn. New update in the next days.

Day 66 - The ladies are doing great. Feeding them at 550 PPM as it seems to be enough. I think the SP will finish earlier than the GC, but they both will have to do at least 4 weeks before harvest. Keep waiting to see their true structure and colors during flush 😍 Day 69 - The day before I found a dead leaf with 20/25 whiteflies under it. I removed that leaf and almost every lower fan leaf to prevent a proliferation. Checking the plants every day, it seems good for now, after that day I haven't found any whitefly. Keep growing and learning every day 🙏 Update next days 👊

Day 76 - The ladies are getting weight, everything's good. No signs of whiteflies at all. Some days ago I covered the SP with a shading net because the top buds were beginning to burn and the light is not dimmable. I'm going to buy the SP1000 for the next run to have a better final result. Updating in a few days 🙏
