SUMMARY: Not much to say really. I'm feeding her 150-200ml twice per day so a total of 300-400ml per day and that provides 20-25% runoff each time. She's very tiny and compact and other than the leaf I tore she is doing great and looks happy. I'm no longer concerned about the green tinged perlite - its not increasing or affecting anything and the humidity is usually between 45-60%.
DAY 15
--------
Tuesday 12th January 20:20
I gave the Amnesia 150ml of week 2 nutes as 200ml produces too much runoff. The 150ml produced 50ml runoff. It doesnt sit right with me that I am seeing mold as I am surely under feeding providing only 150-200ml per 24hrs. There are a number of perlite pieces which are tinged green still. I also accidentally tore a leaf when removing green perlite...ffs. [23Β°C/62%]
DAY 16
--------
Wednesday 13th January
I let the plants dry out today due to the green perlite I'm seeing.
DAY 17
--------
Thursday 14th January 20:45
The Amnesia was bone dry after no irrigation for 48hrs and so I gave it 300ml of week 2 nutes after seeing almost no runoff immediately after giving 200ml. I collected 100ml runoff (33%). I will be irrigating on a daily basis moving forward after reading up at cocoforcannabis.com. I'm sold on the idea of always keeping the coco wet as it can always breathe especially with the amount of perlite I use.
DAY 18
--------
Friday 15th January 18:00
I made 5L of week 3 nutes (Ph 6.0) with rainwater.
Friday 15th January 20:30
I gave the Amnesia 200ml of week 3 nutes which produced 100ml runoff (50%). [28Β°C/60%]
DAY 19
--------
Saturday 16th January 12:20
I fed the Amnesia 200ml of week 3 nutes as she had dried out. Looks to have produced about 100ml runoff. I've moved the heater to the side of the tent as well as it was drying the plants out being pointed at the pots. I also made 5L of week 3 nutes at a pH of 6.0. [26Β°C/70%]
Saturday 16th January 20:45
I gave the Amnesia a further 200ml week 3 nutes which produced 100ml runoff (50%). [21Β°C/70%]
DAY 20
--------
Sunday 17th January 12:20
I fed the Amnesia 200ml of week 3 nutes as she had dried out. Looks to have produced about 100ml runoff.
I also made 5L of week 2 nutes (pH 6.2) and 5L of week 3 nutes (pH 6.1). [26Β°C/70%]
Sunday 17th January 17:30
I gave the Amnesia a further 200ml of week 3 nutes and collected 100ml runoff (50%). I lowered the dehumidifier to 75% power as the RH has been very high this wknd [24Β°C/77%]
DAY 21
--------
Monday 18th January 14:00
I fed the Amnesia 200ml week 3 nutes which produced 30ml runoff.
Monday 18th January 20:30
I fed her a further 200ml and collected 120ml from the Amnesia (60%). I turned the humidifier back up to 100% as the hygrometer was reading so high seemingly due to being sat on the coco. Moving onto a dry surface it is now showing 54% RH.
@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 π
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 π Thanks for all the nutrient info, I've been using water solubles and am thinking of switching to liquid products. π
@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 π 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.
