Hay guys Been reading so and watching, so much helpful information on here. So this is my first grow, fingers crossed it will go well. Keeping things simple is the plan and so far so good. The little lady’s took 24 hours in paper towel to pop and then into the pots and 4 days later we are looking ok. Light is 8 inch above and at 25% And uesing just tap water in a spray bottle twice a day the ph is good and the ppm are very low.

Hi ! Bij de Ecothrive Coco Lite mix die is voorbemest geven ze aan dat je mag bijvoeden vanaf dag 1. Aangezien de afgifte in dit substraat langzaam aan is zal je minder snel overvoeden. In het voedingsschema van Sensi Coco Grow A en B, staat er 2 ml geven (A+B) in week 1. Aangezien je substraat voorbemest is, zou ik rustiger starten en maar de helft geven (1ml, A+B). Nadien kan je rustig verhogen. Blijf intussen je plantje opvolgen, als hij er oke uitziet dan doe je het goed, anders pas je je voeding wat aan. Twijfel je, vraag het hier dan gerust, de kwekers van Growdiaries zullen je proberen helpen. Ik hoop dat ik kon helpen🙂 Veel succes met groeien!

Hi guys. Am growing in coco and intend to do first feed today am going to do 1L Sensi Coco Grow at 1/4 strength. If I don’t get run off do I add another litre of mix or just plain water till I get run off. Thanks.

Don't worry to much about run off at this stage . Just water around the seedling lightly , you want the Coco around the edge to stay a bit dry so the tap root seeks out air and grows quicker. It's easy to overwater at this stage. They don't require much at all, just a light feeding and patience is required. Good luck 🌱

Well I think it’s going ok. Starting to grow nicely. Have watered the pots each day but on Sunday I flushed them more coz I had never done it before. Think I should have started them off in small pot, but as they may grow quickly I went straight for the big ones. Mars hydro ts1000 si at 12 inch above plants and running at 75% have been keeping an eye on it and does not seem to be stressing to I guess it’s set ok. What I am learning is slow and steady is the way. Fingers crossed this week will be just as smooth. Thanks for looking 🤙

So it’s been a good week Have watered them a few litres in the week and then watered them to run off on Friday With it all going so well so far I decided to start LST the phots are 24 hours after bending them over and they look very happy. Up dated 😁 Didn't think I’d have time so I posted on Sunday but I got home a little early so had a chance to do a bit more LST to complete the week. they are looking happy on it too Have a good week people 🤙

Feels like another good week. Have increased the feed, small bits of LST every few days. Lots of new growth, hopefully they will turn in to nice fat buds 😃 My light is still only 12 inch’s from the plants at 75% power but they seem happy. Hope next week is as positive 🤙 Thanks for looking Any feed back would be helpful thanks guys Have a good week 👍

Another positive week the phots are from across the week. They are growing fast and we have pistols 👊 Having to do LST every night to keep them down, lots of new flower sites appearing, fingers crossed it keeps going so well. Mars hydro ts1000 light is working great, I have it 12 inch above the plants and running at 75% power using the dimmer switch, looking forward to turning it up to full when we hit flower. Am feeding a liter and getting 20% run off every night, I think the coco likes to be wet, earlier in the grow I was letting it dry out a little and they didn't look quite as happy so I’m happy to put the time in and water every night. Big thanks to all the guys that have been helping by answering my grow questions, you guys are making this first grow so much easier 🤙 happy days have a good week people Thanks for looking and if you have any advice please comment

Have defoliated 3 times only some old leaves from the bottom and a few key ones to let light in. I think tonight I will start with the bloom nutrient. I am very very happy so far, thanks to all the guys that have helped with my grow questions, it has helped so much Have a good week people 🤙🤙🤙 Update. Just checked on them and they defo still in flower stretch so had some more LST and defo not changing nutrients just yet, let them grow 👊

Hi guys. So been a good week, have added a dehumidifier to the room to bring the humidity down and that worked perfectly. They suffered with a bit of tip yellowing so reduced nutrition for two days till it whent and will bring back up to 4ml per liter tonight when I Walter again. Still removing any old leaves when needed. The smell is gorgeous, when I open the tent. Apart from that things are going ok. Hopeing for at least another two weeks but will be happy for 3 want them to be as big as possible 😂 Thanks for looking and have an epic week 🤙🤙

Hi guys So another week and mostly all ok. After backing the feed down I have slowly increased and all is ok, a few burnt tips and I also dripped some on a few leaves and they have discoloured but are fine. I have continued removing old leaves as we go, betting the 3 plants may 2 or 3 everyday, just keeping things tidy. I am very unsure about time left as sometimes they look like the pistols are browning then the next day the gone as new growth has taken over. In the main bush of the plant there is so much but growth that you can’t see it’s pretty amazing in there. Any way hope you all had a good week and fingers crossed for another one. Thanks for looking. Any thought on the grow are most welcome Thanks again 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Bulbi had a good answer. I mostly agree with him. Within a strain there is variation. Some breeders actually list this on their site as phenotypic variation. Flowering time on this strain from what I have seen is from between 8 weeks from germination to about 15 weeks.(This is based on grow journals, so is moderately reliable IMO) Personally I think I have some very fast ones. Pretty sure my #2 won't go past week 9. Looks like a couple more might fatten #1 up, so she might be 11 weeks. IDK. I generally don't harvest in stages even when they ripen unevenly. I probably lose grams of larf and even some potency, But space is precious for me so I want em out of the way. When the tops show me the amber I want, I harvest all at once. I can't remember ever saying, "Damn if I had only let this larf go a couple more weeks... oh well maybe next time." I say it's better to make room for another. Looking awesome buddy!!! Dense, covered in trichs... The hardest part now is patience. You got it.

Hi guys so had to update tonight as busy tomorrow. They are looking good. I’ve been cutting a few leaves of to give a bit more light to the buds. Not much to say they are being well behaved. My only issue now is when to cut, I’m in no rush won’t them to be as big as I can get them. But I can only dry in my tent so all will have to be cut at same time, think one is way in front of the other two. Any tips about when to cut them down would be gratefully received. Thanks for looking Have an epic week people 🤙🤙

Hi everyone that question again I’m afraid Looking at time scales for cutting them down Here are a few different buds, what do people think. I’m not in a rush happy to wait as long as possible But first grow so don’t won’t to get it wrong. Thank you and have a happy day 🤙

They are certainly ripe enough for harvest now and will have peak THC, providing a great trippy head high, but this peak of THC will be declining from now onwards, due to the plant being past its prime health and with a slowing metabolism. Leaving the plants much longer will see the THC breaking down into CBD and CBN, giving you a more sleepy/heavy body stone. So it comes down to which effect you prefer, a mind bending high or a sleepy body stone. If you prefer the body stone effect, wait until all the pistils have turned brown. Congratulations on your first harvest and I admire your choice of breeder, Sweet Seeds are my favourites! Hope this helps,.......... Organoman.

Well had a bit of a rush as had to cut them down due to having to go away for a week and did not won’t to risk the going bad. So not perfect but I’m very happy. Wet Wight trimmed Plant one 8.4 oz plant two 9.2 and plant three 10.4 They are now drying fingers crossed this will go well. The smell is amazing and can’t wait to try some. Big thanks to sweet seeds your seeds are amazing and easy as a first grow, lots of people said they did it like strong feed but I had no issues. Also the PH perfect advance nutrients where fantastic, as a new grower not having to worry about PH mix made life so easy. Thanks for everyone’s help along the way, grow diary you’re are amazing 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
