15/1 - Placed on Friday.
19/1 - The picture was taken on Tuesday. Pots placed on Tuesday night.
20/1 - Clingfilm covered on Wednesday.
21/1 - Thursday and only one seed came out.
22/1 - Friday again, 3 seeds are out. By the end of the day, I moved a bit the coco and now they are all coming out.
There is a whole process to preparing coco.. I don't really grow in Coco so I have no clue.. But I know of a good link.. Here is a link to some instructions,.. And also the main website is really good from what Iv'e heard.

Hi,
I ended up not buffering the COCO as I wasn't aware before I prepared it. I hope the plants survive and be healthy. I bought a Kit with everything but ended up having to buy some more nutrients, I don't know how ignored the buffering phase. Has anyone done the same?
23/1 - In the morning all the seeds came out, but I had to take some coco out of the top so they could have some light. I think I pressed too much in the first place. Some plants are a lighter green than others and they are all the same strain but in different orders. Let's see what happens.
24/1 - Most plants look ok but two of them seem like they're struggling. See pictures.
28/1 - So far, some grew taller, one was a dud, one is growing really small and the other one is black in the leaf.
31/1 - Looks like they're growing well. I changed the feed but I haven't given it to them yet. My Ph meter ran out of battery so I have a container with the mix without CalMag. I am using CalMag as some people told me that the coco consumes calcium.
Could anyone let me know if the feed presented above, is the right feed for this stage of the plants? I did not buffer the coco coir in the first place.
3/2 - Most plants are bigger, the little one is still little but it grew a bit. Sometimes i think i am giving it too many nutrients.
6/2 - They are not growing bad. They look green, but they are growing slowly. By this week I thought they would be bigger.
9/2 - Starting the transition from VEG light to BOOM light. Too early? I am giving it some hours at night and when it turns on.
Changed to flowering light and increased the temperature with a small heater. They are starting to run off more water and its ppm is quite high, I believe - 250ppm x10
Started a new diary of 3 Jack Herer.
28/2 - My LED light stopped working and for four days i used a normal bedside lamp.
2/3 - The new light came and I am wondering if I should change to 12-12.
keeping 18/6
Hi guys, Should I be doing 12-12 instead of 18-6 now? I am growing automatics, but they seem to be growing slow. Should I change to 12-12? At the moment I am using VEG+BLOOM LED light. Should I also just use the BLOOM red light? Also in the same tent i am growing other seeds, one
Since these are auto flowering plants, after 6 weeks, I would be expecting flowering to have commenced. Keeping them at 18/6 is best for all cannabis and going to 12/12 will severely limit growth and flower production.
I am not sure what sort of light you have, but after 6 weeks your plants aren't exactly booming and leaving both the veg and bloom lights on together is the recommended way of using LED lights with this ability. Just using the bloom light on its own won't have enough intensity or the right combination of light spectrums for best growth. You may have to rethink your lighting set up if you are seeking larger yields.
Hope this helps,.........

This week started a bit late, the plants are jumping in size a bit, but they aren't very tall.
Thinking of spreading the plants a bit while i still have some space left and also sticking some bamboo sticks with wire to hold them.
Should I use the ned? sog? scrog?
Finally my tent is filled with green. What techniques should i use in the next weeks? sog / scrog? how exactly? should i just leave them like how they are now? any defoliation? if so, what leaves? i have three small plants in the tent as well which might put some limitations.
Hi there, your tent is already filled up.So I suggest to let them grow like this.Also they are already started flowering.Training can stress them at this age.For defoliation, don’t do it if unnecessary.Take out leaves here and there if they are shaded or damaged.Happy growing... ✌️
Hi there,
These plants should be harvesting by now because they are a short period auto-flowering seeds, but something happened and they are growing slower and I think it was the light. This is the week 8+germination week. How much longer do you think?
Hey there PlanTings, this often happens with this genetic, it sort of stalls around now , but towards the end it "suddenly" buffs up and gets fat. Unfortunately, you probably have 4-6 weeks ahead of you . Hope this helps ! 🚀
I have been feeding the plant with some extra Canna BOOST in the spray and applying directly to all plants and not just the leaves. I have noticed that the tent started smelling less of weed and more like the product. Am I doing it wrong?Is it losing quality? can buds be sprayed?
hey there Plantings, canna boost is humic acid, so you shouldnt spray it on the plant, if you want to spray something on the plant try rhizotonic and calmag, calmag has much better uptake by the leaves and rhizotonic has plant growth hormones on them. just do what you've been doing to dilute them. humic acid, i wouldnt spray on the plants at all, it's really for the root zone. keep using it that way. problem is humidity when you're spraying, can lead to mold. you can spray throughout the grow , after all it rains outside right? but if you do spray throughout , try a technique called "bud washing" to wash all that off. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Next week I will start the PK13/14 week but 2 out of my 9 plants are a bit behind (about a week max). I have been feeding the same to all of them. Can I give them the same food with the PK13/14 even if they're not as developed? What should I do?
hey there Plantings, when you're using PK it's important not to use it too early. You should only use it after the buds at at least the size of your thumb. Any sooner and you might have nutrient burn. You should wait for each plant to be individually ready, else you'll ruin something beautiful growmie. Hope this helps ! 🚀
This week I stopped using PK13/14 and now I’m am feeding less nutrients. Hope it doesn’t take much longer and that the buds grow larger. It doesn’t seem that it grew a lot since last week’s flush.
Another week post PK13/14, and I believe the buds are growing bigger but I don't think they're growing that much compared to last week. What do you think?
The size of my green-o-matic buds are all different but even though I am not sure if they're growing as they should? Can someone tell me if you think they're still going to get fatter? How much longer you think until starting to harvest the most developed?
You still have a while to go, maybe 3 weeks or so, judging by what I can see, but a couple of clear and close up pictures taken in normal light, would help immensely in giving you a more precise answer.
Cheers,........

I started flushing some of them only with water and 2 others i am still feeding them last weeks food. I finally took some pictures without LEDs so you can tell me more preciselly if something is going wrong.
Hi there, I have been having some issues with buds not fattening properly and I would like to ask you if you could go through the pictures in the diary and tell me if they're ready to be harvested, or how much longer should i wait. Some of them are getting yellow on the leaves...
Green o magic has an 8-9 week flowering. I think they are ready. A USB microscope works great for checking tricomes and they are inexpensive. Yes I would upgrade your lights. If you want a cheap inexpensive LED light, I use a 1200w growstar (one hundred sixteen bucks on amazon) I harvest about 8oz off from.
