***** Week 1 - November 14 to 20, 2020 - Days 1 to 7 from germination *****
Here we go Growmies.......got one out of the gate and she does not want to slow down so we are off.
Not much to add right now. Nothing being given to her yet for feed. Medium is charged and ready for her. Plain waterings of around 150ml is all she will get for the next couple of days. Microbes will be added before long though. Since the medium is a 65% Coco, 25% Peat, 10% Perlite I am treating it like hydro and will be watering/feeding everyday. Mixing in some peat to the coco to assist with the pH drift I have been fighting the last few runs. I am a bottle nutes guy......sorry but that is what I am comfortable with😃.......growing with organics inside my house with living soil and the fungus gnats will unfortunately find me divorced pretty quick😂😂😂 I have far fewer pest issues in my house and grow when using coco.
Quick comments for now......really need the Wedding Cheese Cake to catch for this run......confident I will get a Purple Lemonade to go with her but three plants makes more sense in the 3x3.

Hi @@ALTINPIPO, they are 12L. I am going to give some 5 gal try once my bags are done. Like air pots, I do miss being able to dump a bunch of water in the top though. You have to take your time with hand watering.
Cheers and have an event free week😃💪
Thank you for this massively detailed diary. May I ask a question about your lights? I have been following along and find that you are adjusting the lights each week to find the sweet spot. When you are trying to dial in your lights, what are you looking for to let you know that you are close to perfect? Is it a combination of lowing the wattage and lowering/raising? What is your secret light adjustment sauce? I read in the week 5 that you are looking for the leaves to droop a bit if the light is too intense/close. Thanks so much!
Brilliant mate I am Just about to order for first time off fast buds this gives me the boost a need think I will change from the coco to the nutrients you are using this will be my second time doin it keep it up mate
