First time growing with coco coir and using CX Horticulture nutrients; this is also my first time using growdiaries.com.
This is my third ever grow so we will see how things track and I will try to provide as much information as possible. Methods of training will be topping at 5th or 6th node to produce two main colas.
Started feeding at half strength. Cut out Cal-max after day three due to a slight amount of burning on the tips of one of the girls. After having a good read of coco base a & b, I’ve decided that the cal max isn’t needed and the extra nitrogen might cause problems. No issues after that
Feeding now at 1ml/L. Girls doing really well and need a watering everyday when lights come on. Roots at the bottom of pots are looking very healthy, white and thick. Will post a photo of roots next week. Run off pH around 6.39
Repotted 4 days ago. I got a bit lazy checking run off pH when they were in the starter pots. Started showing signs of calcium deficiency and when I checked the pH of the run off, it was in the low 5.8s - not ideal. So decided to re-pot, crazy root circling (unfortunately didn’t get a photo). Needing a water every day now in their big pots. Will keep vegging until end of week 6.
Going good so far. Starting into 6th week, will be flipping at the end of the week. Noticed leaves starting to get quite dark especially the lower fan leaves. I’ve knocked back feed to 1mL/L and plain pH’d water every second watering.
Just reached the start of week 7 and have changed lights to 12/12, didn’t get time to change out the bulb so will do that tomorrow. A couple Calcium deficiency spots on some of the new leaves on two plants - have re-introduced grotek cal-max into schedule. My tap water EC is 0.1 so I’ve been adding enough to bring it up 0.4, any comments on this would be great! I’ll try and gauge to see if they need any extra feed over the next two weeks, I have a bottle of mighty growth enhancer I can use if they need a little extra boost around that time.
Apologies - about 5 days late with this post just been super busy and kept forgetting to update. Everything going fine so far, just over a week and a half since flipping and bud sites have formed. Leaves were starting to pale up a little bit so I added the MGH last water and this water. Leaves have had already started to change shade so I think that will be it with the MGH for the rest of the grow. Have started now with Head masta and mighty bloom enhancer. Will be interested to see the results (my last grow I grew one plant of these seeds in soil using canna products).
