(aquanauts) First bagseed grow!
Question: So during veg while in 1L pots I used to water with nutes everyday.
Now that I'm in 3g pots and in flowering I've been watering with nutes everyday.
Should I water everyday and nute every other? I thought when using Coco I was supposed to water with nutes everyday but starting to think not.

I'd be interested to know what's happened to change your mind? Personally, I work coco as a hydroponic medium, ie) I provide consistent strength, nutrient solution at regular intervals and maintain a consistent level of moisture in the medium.
You can, if you wish, pretend that coco is soil and treat it more like a soil grow... it will still grow you some weed, but it wont yield nearly as much as it would under consistently applied hydroponic practices.

@sarah - I think my water is too hard where I live and just nuting everyday is causing some salt buildup issues. I think I will follow PhatJay's feeding schedule and do 2 days nutes and 1 day just tap water. Maybe my next grow I'll use pure RO filtered water and supp. my own minerals.
Day 31 / 7 - AM - Flower
- Watered all the plants today, no nutes just water.
- Think I've confirmed the crazy growing plant on the left is a male, anyone else confirm? I didn't know males can stink this bad!

to bad for the male :(
everything else is looking awesome !! :thumbsup:
what i do with coco is flush once a week and nute every watering! but not a big flush like 5 gal of water for a 2gal pot ... just flush until you get plenty of run off..

Day 35 / 11 - Flower
- Installed new carbon filter- can't smell a thing :)
- Started to test my pH and it 6.5+, so the last few days I've been pH adjusting down to 5.8~.
- Removed the crazy growing male.
- Still no signs of female sex yet :(

Good looing grow Aq~do you notice how short the stems on the fan leaves are on the 2 stockier plants and how long they are the 2 in the tray with your unknown house plant:)
my bet is the 2 stockier plants are girls and the other 2 are males...just my guess..take a few cuts from the bottom of each if you can to clone:jointsmile:

Thanks stra8outtaWeed! I also started to notice this as you call it out. So do females normally get bushy while the males stretch out more?
Also if I do clone, can I leave them with the current grow with the 12/12 cycle? Or do they need to be in a separate veg area.

Come on girls... Aquanaut has been with you for 35 days now, it's about time you got your bits out.

females take a bit longer to show and males will reach out like those 2 for sun to grow faster so they can pollinate the shorter females!;)
you want to have place they can get 18+ hours of light to keep them in a growing phase!
check this picture out....my buddy is growing these to put outside when it is time but he is vegging them with only 25watt of LED's
he is using 2 screw base LED bulbs in a 2' x 3' space in his closet...a cheap grow area if you can set it up because no heat or venting is needed only a small fan to circulate some air!:thumbsup:
