Phat Jays 2nd Grow (CFL/Coco) w/pics

I started off my second grow today. I am keeping my setup similar to last time, but I am hoping to try out a couple of new things this time round. I am also mixing my own food for this grow.

My last grow is still in it's final 2 weeks so I am using a smaller cupboard to start these off and I will be transferring them across to my main cabinet, when the other 2 plants are finished and harvested. :jointsmile:

Today I potted up my cuttings and fed them with 200ml 1/4 strength Canna Hydro Vega nutes.

Are you growing genetics or bagseed?

Ghetto Genetics :weedpoke:

It's from the same family line as the cuttings for my last grow.

Nice, looks good. Subscribed! Hope it goes as well as the last one's going.

Nice! Good luck with your next grow :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'm still waiting for my babies to show some sex :(

I have now started adding Cannazyme to my feed at half strength. So my feed is 1/4 strength Canna Hydro Vega + 1/2 strength Cannazyme. I am watering at 200ml per plant a day now.

I got the above post wrong, I have stepped up my nute dosage to half strength. It should read...

"I have now started adding Cannazyme to my feed at half strength. So my feed is 1/2 strength Canna Hydro Vega + 1/2 strength Cannazyme. I am watering at 200ml per plant a day now."

Having nearly finished my 1st grow I am feeling a bit more confident this time around. Last time I just let them grow naturally and I think it is going to have an effect on the size of my harvest. So today I think I Fimmed my plants. :)

Stepped up nutes to 3/4 strength. I am using 3/4 strength because my local grow shop recommends this when using hydro food in coco. I also think this is why my food supplying friend told me to feed 2 days on, 1 day off, when I was getting full strength food from him, as this would make my feed strength about 66% last time round.

I havn't updated for a while because I had to give back the camera I had on loan. I have it back now, so here goes....

My first attempt at Fimming has worked on plant E but not D. I think I didn't cut enough off D or I cut it a little late. Plant E has four main tops and D has the usual one. I suppose one advantage of the FIM going wrong on D, is that I will get to compare the results side by side.

I am considering trying a Scrog for my next grow and I think Topping and/or Fimming would help with this, because plant E is really open and spread out and I can see that it would definitely help fill a screen. The only thing that is putting me of a scrog is the time factor, I like a low maintenance setup.
