COCO Bricks / No Buffering
PlanTings
started grow question 6y ago
Has anyone ever planted on coco bricks without buffering the coco and only adding water? I don't think my bricks were pre-buffered. If you have mistaken and done like me, have your plants survived, and were they healthy?

Yes... I do with the floraflex quick fill bags/bricks. But they are pre washed and buffered... no issues yet. Good luck.

Normal bud or bud rot?
Is this normal color for critical orange punch or bud rot? Just making sure before harvest on Friday that this isn't rot. Hopefully it's perfectly normal and part of the colours 🤞

Silly question; Is the definition of in-flower when I switch from 24 hrs to 12hr lighting or is it when I can tell it’s female or male. Thanks in advance EVO

2 flowers, 1 node.
I have noticed that there is two flowering sites forming from the same node.. Is this normal? Its hard to tell via the picture but it's definitely happening.. There is two different sites on the plant that this is happening as well.

Answer
Thank you for your answer,I don't really like the lifting pot because it is an empty pot in addition to watering,And just because I think you can see with your eyes when a plant starts to thirst first time. So I use this first time to determine the average amount of water to give

Leaf markings or patterns
I am currently running a small pheno hunt with a strain called Edam Bomb. It’s a cross between Exodus Cheese and Bomb #1 & #3. I have noticed that a few of the plants have a similar discoloration on the exact same location on the leaf structure. Does this happen often?

Critical Purple Auto in COCO: close to harvest.
Triches still clear, most pistils have ambered. Picked up a digital microscope to check for the cloudy triches coming. Once I hit 50% cloudy, I am thinking of flushing for 4-5 days followed by a day of darkness . Any advice on feeding and flushing in these last couple of weeks?

Are they ready to chop? Plz help :( getting mixed signals
Hello, I'm having trouble figuring out if I should harvest right now, or not. All of the leaves are yellowing, but you can see in the photos that there are still plenty of white pistils and the trichs are still only around 10% amber. don't want the buds to start yellowing too

TCheck Device Thoughts
How accurate do you think the TCheck device is? My Lemon tested 18.6%, BUT my Jock Horror tested 27.3%!!! 😯 JH advertises @ 15-20% on Seedsman. What is your best guess at what's going on here? I ran two (2) samples for a total of four (4) testing runs.

Friends need your help! pH 6.2 EC 0.7
Please help me understand what is the matter because of what dry tips? At first I thought it was all because of the light! but the light raised high and reduced power to a minimum! then I thought that the fan was too strong but I put it so that it would blow into the wall

Infused coconut oil for edibles
Using infused coconut oil for edibles: Do I melt the oil back into a liquid state prior to measuring it out while making edibles? I used my trimmings in a Levo C infuser and got about 1.75 cups of oil. I am making chocolate bars and am not sure yet how much to put in.
