Day 15 - AM - Veg

• Watered this morning with 2.5ml/AnB nute mix + 1 Drop of superthrive/gallon
• Lots of new growth, especially in 1 plant.
• Noticed one plant had brown spots on the leaves. Is this signs of CalMag deficiency?
• Noticed roots sticking out the bottom of the Solo cups, will transplant tonight.

Whe you repot/transplant it's a good idea to get some pebbles/rocks/stones in the bottom of your pot. Coco is so fine, that it has a tendency to run out of the holes in the bottom of your pot when watering.

That's a great idea! I have that problem with my Solo cups. I'll put a layer of perlite in the bottom of the new pots they get transplanted into.

Because perlite holds water, that might be a bad idea. I would go with pebbles, they don't absorb water and they cannot do your plants any harm (unless you throw them at them).

Day 17 - AM - Veg

• Transplanted a few days ago and everything seems to be going well.
• One plant still has brown spots spreading around.
• Been watering everyday with nutes.
• Also noticed the plants have a slight skunky smell.

They look nice but one thing to remember is never have water sitting at the bottom of the pot that creates root rot and alot of other problems... Just a heads up:greenthumb
:jointsmile:

O ya and Phatjay i don't know how pearlite holds water when it is used to make the soil better for irrigation.

I use a 40/60 mix (pearlite 40%) so if i ever had to flush i can do it no prob:

My bad, I havn't used perlite (thought it held water) :i feel stupid:, I just knew pebbles/stones were OK and concerned that my advice might hinder instead of help if the wrong thing was used. Thanks for putting me right. :)

Looking good aquanaut, those babies are about the same size my cuttings were when I got and potted them. I started with around 200ml water per plant and after around 4 days I started watering them till I got runoff. I was feeding them 2 days on 1 day off, with canna start for the 1st 14 days. Then I switched to Cannazyme, Hydroveg A, Hydroveg B and Roots Accelurator.

We are all here to learn
pearlite has helped me alot that's why I guess I have some knowledge on it, I would recommend everyone to use it. I've never used coco but heard/read great things about it in the Veg cycle although I've read that it makes airy buds during the flowering cycle.

I am using Pro-mix which contains 10% pearlite and I still mix more into it

Anyways keep up the good work aqua everything looks fine, read alot and look at other ppls threads as there are tips and tricks that will help make this journey easier for the ladies.

they are looking awesome now aquanaut!!! :thumbsup:

just curious on how big those pots are.. because with coco its a good idea to go from the party cups to the 1 gal pots because if you go to big ive noticed that the roots will stay in the middle of the pot and they wont spread to the bottom or the outside.. the bottom of the coco will remain moist and same with the side .. it can cause mold and other bad stuff to happen.. i think if you went to a 2 gal pot you will be ok but i think if your at 3 gal then you MIGHT run into some problems... also next time because you transplant let the coco dry a little and pull the whole root ball out and make sure its a nice root ball that is formed and not roots that are stretching to see how fall down they can go.. :hippy:
also when you water ... water till a little run off and let all the extra water drip out this will let the coco stay at a perfect moisture .. another good idea is to try a 50/50 perlite coco mix
