I also have 2 clones in some coco also I just hope they root and grow good.

well stay tuned to see how my coco grow does.

good job on starting your coco grow hydro.... i cant wait to start mine.... as for the clones you want to open the dome once or twice a day and should mist once a day... good luck with the coco :rastasmoke:

ok so the seeds have poped out of the coco.:D:D:D:D:D

but I have a problem. the coco in 2 of the pots feel kind of dry on top.
and the other 2 pots feel wet still on top of the coco.

so could the coco still be wet under the top of it. or if its wet on top then its wet all over.

the problem is that the 4 pots R in the same water cetcher thing. so should I be watering all at the same time or 1 pot at a time.

so what I am worndering is how often should I be watering the coco.
new pix in a few m.

Im so confused about growing in the coco.:wtf:

Im so confused about growing in the coco.:wtf:

Well, from what I understand about coco, as long as you have good drainage, you cannot over water it. From the reading I've done, most coco growers water several times daily to runoff.

Going to try coco myself, hempy bucket style. Got some Canna coir and nutes on order right now.:thumbsup:

maybe need some better drainage alot of the water should run right through the coco

greenatik

your coco does look finer so you probably don't need to water as much. also what size pots are those?

should I be worried. the roots R starting to come out the bottem of the pots.

greenatik
10-29-2008, 02:04 AM
no... you could grow an outdoor plant the entire way through harvest in a 1 gal pot with coco

hydrocannabis
10-31-2008, 05:11 AM
new pix. also I am taking new direction to the way I grow.

Its gunna be where I have a small mother plant thats made from a clone.
then I'll take 4-8 clones from the mother plant. then once the clones have rooted I'll flower them.

I'll go into way more detail at that time.:D

Coco looks to be an amazing grow medium...

hydrocannabis
11-06-2008, 12:46 AM
there all under 1 cfl light. 25 watts.

when I move them to the flowering room they will have 9 cfl lights at 25-100 watts. and a fan on them. I just hope they don't get any bugs. and I also hope that there all female.


I am trying to grow in a new way. I wanna try to get a harvest about every 30-50 days.
Its gunna be some tuff work but I want this to work so bad that I gotta get this right.

I'll have to use clones. and I am gunna have to pick out the best and healthyest ones also.

and I'll take all the help that I can get.:D

thanks for stoping in.

also check out my cheese clones grow log.

hydrocannabis
11-07-2008, 05:29 PM
ok so just do I don't for get what day of flower they R on. they R on day 2 of 12-12.

so when do I need to start the counting the start of flowering.
Is it the day I start the 12-12 or the day they show sex?

new pic of them every few days or so.:D

cant hardly wate to see if my harvest every 30 day will work or not.
the plan is looking good so far.

If the 4 coco bagseedlings all end up female then I"ll be so dam happy
I have 4 female clones getting bigger now gunna flower these in just a few weeks.:D

also I have 4 other new clones that I just put under the light to root.
I'll veg the new clones till there big enough to take 4 or so clones. then flower thouse mother clones.

then veg the new clones just like befor. and so on and so on and so on.

so its gunna be where I veg 4-8 clones at a time then once there big enough flower them and have 4-8 more clones vegging.

hope all this makes scents.

wolfgar
11-08-2008, 07:01 AM
it seems like your cloning clones over and over. unless i just misunderstood your not using an original mother for all of them...i think if you clone clones too many generations it will start to have negative effects

allrollsin21
11-08-2008, 07:07 AM
Hydro did i read correctly that you are only watering/feeding every few days? Are they in Straight Coco? I was under the impression that since coco is inert, it needs daily feeding?
The plants look awesome, i'm trying to learn...

hydrocannabis
11-08-2008, 08:35 AM
they R in Straight coco. but they don't seem to need water as often as I was told.
I water/feed once every 2 days.
there looken great still.

(i think if you clone clones too many generations it will start to have negative effects.)

I think as long as they stay alive and healthy it should work.
I guess will all just have to wate and see if it works or not.:D

pix r from tonight.:D :jointsmile:
have a good one.

wolfgar
11-08-2008, 05:15 PM
ok sry for inaccurate post upon further checking most ppl agree ,some with first hand knowledge. cloning clones is safe possibly indefinitely it seems i have been living with an old growers myth..sucks as it has made me make some choices that were not for the best, o well.
I use coco but mine is coarsely shredded with big chunks in it. Being that i veg in 1000w mh i have to water 3 times a day at least, till they make a canopy then i get less evaporation. Your finely shredded coco makes me think i need to switch to that till my plants are bigger. If you wouldn't mind telling me what brand you are using that would be nice.
Your plants are looking great. :thumbsup:

allrollsin21
11-08-2008, 06:19 PM
I think the reasons to feed daily in coco are:
1. everytime you feed the nutrient solution pushes out the old air and then pulls fresh CO2/oxygen into the root zone.
2. The coco has no nutient in it, so it needs to be provided daily.

3. YOUR PLANTS LOOK HEALTHY SO DON"T LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO.:thumbsup:

greenatik
11-08-2008, 11:16 PM
whatup hydro, things are looking superb :jointsmile:

your coco looks a lot finer so watering every couple days sounds right,, but hey have you had to use calmag yet?

hydrocannabis
11-15-2008, 07:14 AM
new pix. 10 days of 12-12. but hasn't sexed yet. and I am not in a hurry or anything.

hydrocannabis
11-15-2008, 05:36 PM
so how R they looking?

kack409
11-15-2008, 10:47 PM
very sexy..=) and fyi indoors its the first day u switch it to 12/12...outdoors its whenever the first signs of sex, since you wont be able to tell when the first day is outside

hydrocannabis
11-18-2008, 09:22 PM
so they R 13 days into 12-12.:D
3 out of 4 seeds R female.:D

also gave them some 4ml cal-mag and some 4ml bloom ferts to 1 gallon of water and the ph is 6.0-6.3

new pix later. need some batteries for the cam.

is that the correct range of pH for coco?

I was wondering whether it would be closer to hydro-setup ph range or a soil-range

beauties btw :)

greenatik
11-19-2008, 09:32 PM
yeah bro that ph is too high, you want 5.8

hydrocannabis
11-20-2008, 02:23 AM
ok I see. so what should i do now. should I flush them with 5.8 phed water or let the coco dry out just a little first.

they did drink some cal-mag water on the 18th. If that makes any difference in there overall growth.

anyway now I have put 1 of my cheese clones in to the flower cab.:D
tied her down.
so now there is 3 female plants from seed.
and 2 clones in there also. 1 cheese and 2 old ass witch of a clone.:D

then I still have my other cheese clone the bigger one of the 2.
and also I have my hawiian skunk clone. and she is in dwc and she reeks skunk skunk.:D

greenatik
11-20-2008, 10:45 AM
I wouldn't flush, just keep it at 5.8 from here on out so you don't have any lockouts,, and about the calmag - you said some of your leaves were purpling? that could be a calmag def - so see if you can see a difference in the overall health of the plant since you fed the nute :thumbsup:

hydrocannabis
11-25-2008, 11:12 PM
And as for these plants they R looking ok I guess.
they R on flower week 1.

I guess will see how they turn out.
I also gave a good watering with 1tbs of bloom and 1tbs of cal-mag and got the ph to 5.8-5.9.:D

and one of em is looking kind of weird at the top of her flower.
plant #1
plant #2
plant #3 :wtf: is with the purple in this one.
cheese clone top

how do you like coco vs other methods?

I love coco compared to soil or peat/soiless based grows. It's idiot proof for the most part so long as you watch out for Ca/Mg issues which you can avoid just by supplementing with a bit of calmag.

my current grow is in coco. Fantastic stuff.

hydrocannabis
11-26-2008, 04:02 AM
I love the coco so far.:D

anyone know whats up with the purple in that 1 bud.

hydrocannabis
11-29-2008, 03:09 AM
here R some new pix. how R they looking?
can they they make to harvest?

I think I might have over ferted them a week or 2 ago. yesterday I gave them some water + cal-mag and the ph to 5.8.

I realy hope they can make it all the way to harvest and bud good and wit a lota trich.:D

hydrocannabis
11-29-2008, 03:28 AM
also can they get rootbound in the coco.
also here is the cheese clone that is also in there.10 day flower.

also I seem to have a leaf problem.:(

greenatik
11-29-2008, 09:51 AM
you need to post that in the plant problem section and have stinky evaluate it.... not sure what it is. how often are you feeding? how big are the pots?

explain your feeding schedule and Ill try to help

greenatik
11-29-2008, 09:53 AM
they look underferted to me,, my guess is that your not feeding enough

hydrocannabis
11-29-2008, 09:32 PM
I have been feeding them every 2 days or so.

for veg I used 5ml botanicare pureblend pro 3-2-4
with 5ml cal-mag.

and for flowering I feed with 5ml cal-mag.
5ml genarel 0-5-4
and lastly make the water and fert mix set to 5.8 ph.

so is that an ok feeding mix?

any thing I should change in the feeding.

also can the plants get rootbound in coco?
in the last 2 pix u can see the size of pots I am useing.can they get rootbound in this size.

greenatik
11-29-2008, 10:58 PM
is the bloom fert pure blend? only give calmag once in a while, you don't need it when you are ferting them.. they look like they are hungry for N, and the bloom nute has none, try switching to pure blend i had great results

greenatik
11-29-2008, 10:59 PM
oh and no they won't get rootbound in those pots for sure

hydrocannabis
12-02-2008, 09:15 PM
I don't know if the 3 bagseeds R doing any better. or if they R even gunna make it to the end of there flowering cycle.


as for the cheese clone, well she is doing good.
All of these R 2 week into flowering.

what did I do wrong. can they make it?

hydrocannabis
12-02-2008, 09:28 PM

better clearer pix of them from last night just right after the lights went out.
and it only took 3 minuts to take the pix.

and I hope that greenatik is right in that my plants won't get root bound in the coco and in thouse small planters.

cuz there in all the coco I bought. and I don't have the extra room to put them into bigger planters.

Well.. you can still get rootbound in coco.. it's just WAY more forgiving than in soil. Keep on top of your watering and make sure to always water to about 15% runoff all the time.

I dono y there looking so bad.:(

so yesterday I gave them 7L of 5.8 ph water with 1 tbs of bloom nuts.

I hope she does better now that I repotted her into more new fresh coco.:D
then I watered her in good with 5.8 phed water.

gunna add nuts in a day or so.

and there is like a whole extra inch of coco all the way around the roots now.:thumbsup:

what brand are you using again?

i just switched over recently and am lovin it alot. using a coir/crouton mix no pythe with some ewc/compost(maybe 10%) to help with water retention. and its a texas local company too
