SUMMARY: This week I have continued with 200ml total intake per day and getting 20-30% runoff. I started with the week 2 nutes on day 12. I'm seeing green-tinged perlite which is concerning as surely it can only be mould. Though I'm not sure how thats occurred as the coco has been drying out in between feeds.
DAY 8
-------
Tuesday 5th January 14:00
The medium still looked damp however it's such a small pot I feel I'm not watering frequently enough and so I gave it 150ml nutes now and plan on giving it more later. It produced around 50ml runoff (33%). [25ยฐC/50%]
Tuesday 5th January 20:00
I fed her a further 100ml of nutes which produced 80ml runoff (80%) and so she really doesn't need feeding twice per day yet. [25ยฐC/50%]
DAY 9
-------
Wednesday 6th January 15:00
Coco was still moist/damp so left her be though I was expecting it to have dried out plenty by now given its only in a solo cup but the coco is still dark and the seedling doesn't look in good health though I cant see what I might be doing wrong. I'm struggling to keep the humidity high in my 2x2x4 tent even with the humidifier on 100% power cant seem to get it above 50% this week [24ยฐC/46%]
DAY 10
--------
Thursday 7th January 14:20
She is growing but slowly and very condensed and it looks like it's got mold forming in the medium as the perlite bits are looking green??? With that I will let it dry out and not water or feed until I see dry coco on top at least. [30ยฐC/40%]
DAY 11
------
Friday 08/01/2021 21:00
She looks to have dried out a bit now and I don't want to let her go bone dry so I gave her 200ml of week 1 nutes at a pH of 6.1 which produced 50ml (25%) runoff. I then poured the runoff back through the medium as some of it still looked a bit dry. I then got a further 35ml runoff (17%). [25ยฐC/52%]
DAY 12
--------
Saturday 9th January 20:30
I accidentally gave the Amnesia 200ml of week 1 nutes when it was due it was actually due its first lot of week 2 nutes yesterday. As I'm already a day behind schedule now i decided to give her a further 200ml of week 2 nutes which should wash out and replace the week 1 nutes. I collected 200ml runoff (50%).
DAY 13
--------
Sunday 10th January 20:40
I gave the Amnesia 200ml of week 2 nutes though the coco had not dried out much from yesterday by the looks of it - still moist. It produced 100ml runoff (50%). [24ยฐC/55%]
DAY 14
--------
Monday 11th January 20:40
The coco wasn't even dry on top but was drying. I don't like the thought of the plant only receiving 200ml intake every 48hrs and so I will continue with giving 200ml per day for now. I gave 200ml of week 2 nutes which produced 100ml runoff (50%).
The environment was showing 38ยฐC/33% on my small hydrometer however my Inkbird reported 23ยฐC and my bluetooth hydrometer reported 24.7ยฐC/52%. It seems the hydrometer was in the heat path from the electric fan heater. [25ยฐC/45%] <-- guesstimate with the multiple different readings
@rockbo47, I watched from seed to stoned on YouTube he did a few himself and they came out good from seed to harvest didn't yield particularly well but the end product looked good, good luck to ya I be keeping an eye on ur feed im intrigued to see how u get on in the solo cup might be something I might try myself ๐
Appreciate the reply happy growing mate
@Syrunz, Thanks man, yeah she's not doing bad is she. This is just an experiment and I plan to just let her do her thing in the solo cup throughout the entire grow. I MAY defoliate a little but if I can help it I plan to leave her be and just feed her. If I can get one nice dense cola I'll be stoked!
The plants look great, healthy ๐ Thanks for all the nutrient info, I've been using water solubles and am thinking of switching to liquid products. ๐
@rockbo47, Agreed, I had the same difficulty finding info but this site has helped with that. I find the nutrient, water, timing combo so strain/environment specific that every new grow can be a challenge ๐ Good Luck!
@Grisly, Thanks for the comment, glad to hear people can make use of my efforts that's why I'm documenting it so thoroughly and it is quite time consuming. When I did my first grow I couldn't find enough info on how much water to give when seedlings, when exactly to start nutes etc so figured I would create a good frame of reference. I only used liquid nutes as I could not get hold of any dry amendments but I'm comfortable with the liquid nutes now.
