Hey hey hey! Decided to grow photoperiodic strain this time, and since me and my friends love GSC and GG, Glookies is an ideal strain. Also will try to grow in Coco, since I'm really disappointed in soil quality over last few grows.
***Setup: Got a new grow box, 60x60x160. 3 fans moving air around. Also new lights, Mars Hydro TS-600.
**********************
Seed germinating in water, as usually using FastBuds guide. Ph 6.5.
24h - 2mm root.
80h - 1cm root.
Planted in Root Riot cube after 80h of germinating, 1.5cm deep.
Day 0 - 35ml water in the morning, 25ml in the evening.
Day 0.1 - Plant showed up a little, helped and removed shell. Turned lights on. 60ml water with GHE BioRoot Plus, 0.25ml/1L.
Day 1 - First leaves came out, grew overnight and plant is 2cm now. Watered with BioRoot Plus, 0.25ml/1L. 120ml in the morning, 120ml evening.
Day 2 - 210ml with nutrients.
Day 3 - 250ml with nutrients.
Day 4 - 350ml with nutrients.
Day 5 - 350ml water.
Day 6 - No water.
Day 7 - 600ml with nutrients.
Peace.
It's my first time growing in coco. I noticed I get a lot of runoff. When I gave plant 1.5L of water, I measured about 1.3L of runoff. I usually water right away, with very little interval. Is it a problem, or it's normal while growing in coco?
It can be due to your airpot+ maybe bad quality coco or not the right choice for that kind of pot, or you have rolled the pot in the wrong way.
Theres can be a lot of variables, wait some coco experienced grower that can help u in others way maybe 😊✌️🏽
There’s no way a 19L pot should have 1.3L run off from 1.5L of feed. With that type of pot I would water slowly and sometimes just pouring about 500ml on the top layer making sure to wet the entire surface also helps before pouring the rest in slowly.
I like those type of pots for soil and felt pots but not a massive fan for coco as a lot seems still spill out the sides and you really want the water to act like a piston that pushes all the old feed out. Water slow and check pot weight for confirmation of when it needs a feed.
Run off for coco should be between 10-20% of volume added.
In future I would use plain plastic pots however that’s just my opinion buddy👍
