Strain
Here’s my experience during the entire grow...
Soil-Organic-LST
Germination
Normal process.But later than Coco girl.She was started in a solo cup like container.
Vegetative Stage
Very slow growth for the first two weeks.After transplanting, came back to normal.Well response to LST and became bushy very fast.She was getting 20hr of light and start showing pre flower at week 6.I was feeding her with Coconut water, EM solution, Fish Amino solution and egg shell with vinegar alternately throughout her entire vegetative stage.Keep my watering pH around 6.0~6.5 and got run off pH about 6.5~7.0.No sign of any deficiency or toxicity.She was well fed herself with the potting nutrient.
Flowering stage
Stretching about two weeks and then stop.Forming buds slow and steady.Changing into some nice and colorful leaves.Tall and thin stem.But long and dense buds.Yellowing so early and worry at first.But that’s how she behave.Leaves are becoming yellow and die off slowly.Also buds are forming nice and fill with crystals.Her smell is smooth and earthy.

Coco-Inorganic-ScrOG
Germination
Faster than soil girl.Put alot of hope on this one.She was also started in small container.
Vegetative stage
She was completely stunt growth at early days.First, I transplanted into 10gallon Coco/perlite mixed pot and still no sign of growth.So I transplanted into 1gallon Coco/soil mixed pot.And tried to replace her with another seed.On the other hand, I tried to revive her as best as I can and luckily she was completely recovered.Finally, she was transplanted again into 10gallon Coco/perlite pot and introduced to my ScrOG net.She grew very fast and quickly filled in my ScrOG net.Tried to catch her soil sister and became a monster plant.I kept watering her with pH around 5.5~6.0 and run off around pH 6.0.But I worried about Nitrogen toxicity during the transition into flowering stage due to some dark green leaves.But didn’t go worse.Followed normal Advanced nutrient feeding routine but less in concentration.I slow and steadily increased nute dosage as she was getting matured.
Flowering Stage
She showed pre flower a little bit later than Soil girl.She was already very bushy when she started flowering.Getting bigger and bigger everyday.I feed her around 1000ppm during the flowering stage.In 10gallon pot, I watered roughly around once in every week and left run off about 10%.At that time, medium was already dried about 1 to 2inches.
