Ye it's 1.8 pots.
That's one of the cool things with coco. You have to confine the roots really really badly before the plants go rootbound.
All 5 plants are big and with a lot of buds on them and have been grown in the same 1.8 gallon pots from seed, never transplanted these.

first let me say damn me and the lady have been following ur grow from the start and damn you finally convinced me and the lady to go out and get coco we've just been in dirt so we'll see how it goes if it goes half as good as yours the lady will be happy and if shes happy im happy any more tips u can drop would be great:thumbsup:
Cool, nice to hear man.
Every single thing I have done to the plants as well as their response are in the excel files I upload now and then, that might be a good source of information if you are gonna start up your first coco grow.
(linked in posts now and then during this grow)
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.
Since it is not your first grow the most important thing to know is basically that you treat coco as an opposite of soil, so --> Water as much as you want but don't let it dry. ;)
For the rest it is the same I spose except that the plants react much faster to changes. They react fast and they grow fast. :rastasmoke:

hey Puff i was wondering how much longer are you going to wait till you harvest them buds? They almost done? White widow is a hybrid right?
Yes WW is a hybrid. 60% indica.
Well I have been sitting with my thinking hat on all day trying to decide what to do with the harvest.
Plan was to cut on wednesday, day 63 of 12/12, but I am contemplating to nute them tomorrow and then harvest 3-4 days later instead. They have been on a flush for 6 days now and they are ready to cut in that respect but I feel I can get a bit more out of them without getting too much couch lock. I have a lot of clear trichs yet.
Problem is the damn plants can't stand up without a lot of work now and I am afraid I will cause a mess everytime I touch them atm.
Ultimatelly I will decide for sure at lights on, 3pm. Either I let the lights flip on and nute them one last time or I keep lights off and water them a last time without nutes and then let them stay dry and in the dark for a couple of days and then cut.
I will decide at 3pm. Either thursday or sunday will be last day.

a few more days wont hurt, let them grow to their full potential, i saw one plant you posted was like dark brown redish hairs, that thing plant looked sick, wait till they swell up, and yea let them babies chill in the dark for a few days :smokin:
I know but I do have my reasons.
Plant 1 and 4 are close to ready and have very compact colas and buds. Plant 3 is close also but not as much so.
Plant 2 and 5 are dragging behind a little bit from the others.
Reason I will cut them a little bit early is that I want trippy weed from this batch. I am doing a 50/50 SoG grow next time of WW and Hindu Kush and that one will be grown to ambre trichs and get me a true hybrid and a pure indica so if I follow my plan I will get trippy weed this time from harvesting a little bit early and next time the true hybrid AND the pure indica. So when that is done I cover the spectrum (in theory). :D

u could just cut half ur crop by the time its half way smokable chop the others ps thanx for the 411.... lets get sum more bud shots plz....:jointsmile::thumbsup::hippy::D
I might do that as well ofc but...
I don't think I can without some serious string work. They are keeping eachother up. all of them. Whatever I do in there some branch breaks off. They have grown standing close together so most branches are used to being suported and directly fall when I try to untwine them.
I let them stretch too fast during that period and that's what giving me problems now.
Lessons for the future. :)
I'll push them a few more days but that's it.

My dad decided on a surprise visit and is here in 2 hours to stay for 2 days.
He natrually has no idea I grow weed nor do I intend to reveal that to him so I wont sit in my appartment trimming CB plants the coming days, hehe.
Problem is I have to sort my bedroom which he will be sleeping in, it's full of boxes and stuff since my walk in closet is full of cannabis plants, 5 big ones and a nursery with 16 clones and 2 mothers.
This is gonna be interesting.
"Son, whats that noise from the closet?"
"Just the house ventillation that's gone a bit berzerk dad"
"Oh ok. Well it stopped sometimes during the night and now at 3pm sharp it's back again, strange."
"They'll come and fix it next week, no problems"
Hmm, come to think about it I might have a problem here after all. The door into the room need to be open most of the time or the temperatures in there will go up a LOT. Maybe I better just start the dark period now then I can run the fans on low just to keep the air scrubbed coming out of the tent.
Well, settled.
I am shutting off the timer and lights wont come on again.
Friday is harvest day!
:)
(you think it will all be cured and ready for my birthday on, eh saturday? :D )
