Bickey goes COOCOO for outdoor COCO.... FIrSt TIME in COCO

whats up guys!!!

havent really posted for awhile but decided to log my outdoor coco grow..
I have been really impressed with the result i have been seeing from peeps growing in coco.. I have only grown in soil but wanted to try something new and see if i can get better results and if i can handle coco..
My strains are purple urkle and gods gift X blue goo i received from a buddy.. right now they have been growing for about 3 months and i have been taking clones from them.. i will try to take as many clone as i can until the end of july ...
i am using cns veg nutes and will be using cns flower nutes when its time .. i water everyday with full strength nutes 25 ml at 1gal at ph of 6.0 and flush every sunday soo far they are looking really good and i will post up some good pics tomorrow... the first few watering were rough because i wasnt checking my ph but it looks like everything is back on track and very healthy


hope you guys enjoy this grow!! i will also be posting pics of my purple urkles that are in the soil outdoor also

the shorter one is the ggxbg and all the other are the purple urkles ... i am also pulling clones off of the ones in the soil to... hoping to get at least 150 clones by the end of july ...:rastasmoke:

they look good

looking nice, Im about to get a urkle clone myself soon... gotta love the strain, definitely a heady high. Hope to see a good harvest man. :hippy:

thanks for the support support .... tradicalhabits ... urkle is one of my favorite strains to grow.. ive grown it many times in soil and im stoked to see how it comes out in coco... im going to keep taking clones off of the urkle and ggxbg ... anyone know what temps are to high for the clones because it has been extremely hot the last couple of days and i hope they arent getting affected by it ... my temps have been jumping between 85 - 95 :( ... well ill have some pics posted tomorrow... also tomorrow is day 7 for the clones and i should be seeing roots pretty soon :rastasmoke:

bickey, it looks like you have coco under control. Good luck with the clones - you're lookin' at some serious numbers, eh?

I'm just starting to mess with clones too. I haven't had any luck with anything in a humidity dome though, as the temps here coupled with a humidity dome would result in a pressure cooker - pure steam. (I had quite a few non-mj seeds that were boiled in their shells.) I'm finding though that if I keep more water in a bowl with the clones, they're doing pretty good - humidity stays high with the evaporating water but it's not contained/restricted in the dome.

Keep on rockin' it out there!

hey jake nice to see you stop by eh? i dont have a problem with humidity in the dome just some high temps.. i hope to see some roots some though... anyways heres some pics ...[


The purple urkle is the bigger one and the ggxbg is the small one

nice bickey! the mothers look great :jointsmile:

o fo sho greenizzle time to smoke some trainwreck :rasta:

i cannot believe the difference between coco and soil.... my mothers that i put in soil the new branches only have like 3 sets of leaves ... the new ones one the coco plants are huge like at least 3 to 4 times biggers.. its just amazing how much faster they grow in coco... well i took some pics again today hope you enjoy :hippy:

SHOW ME SOME ROOTS QUICK!!!!!!!!!!! i have to get rid of this first batch of clones by wednesday! I NEED SOME ROOTS


[attachment=o221527]

[attachment=o221528]

[attachment=o221529]

I GOT ROOTS!!! only on 2 of them that i can see but im sure the next couple of days more will come... now what do i do?

[attachment=o221615]

im starting to get lots of roots now on my clones but my problem is what do i do now?? they will be going outside...

ANY INFO IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !!:hippy:



[attachment=o221755]

plant them :) and watch mother nature take care of it! Looking good by the way!

the only thing is when i do put them outside they seem to die with in 24 hours

Then maybe they don't need to go outside....Plant them all into SOLO dixie cups and let then introduce them to the outside a little bit at a time until the plant "hardens" to the suns rays. Kinda like how you would with seedlings starting. You don't want them in direct sunlight, but you want them to have some during periods of time. Then again, I've never grown anything outside on purpose :D I've thrown some seeds outside a few times and they just grew on their own. Didn't have to do anything, but water every day. I think all the ashes and shit from the firepit (hole in the ground we burned wood in) we had them in. Were nice, until I brought them inside and they hermie on me :) This was back before I did my research and had any clue as to what to do with the plant! Good learning experience though. Sorry for the rant! Hope your plants make it!!!

a little update for everyone...
my clones all have really nice roots and i have been "hardening them off" and they will leave on wednesday to their final destination... then i will take more clones ... but everything is looking really healthy :hippy:

Looking good my friend! :jointsmile: So much for the dying after 24 hours eh? Seems you got everything under control! Kudos m8!

hey thanks Italiano :thumbsup: good advise ... i cant wait to take some more clones now that i can do it without worry of them not rooting or dying.... :hippy: cant wait till harvest season .. just another 3 months

my clones get taken out tomorrow and im going to take as many clones as i can.. the only thing now is my urkle is already flowering? i dont know why but it has some early flowers and none of my other plants do... my question is can i still take clones even if they have little flowers on them ???

thanks joe! :hippy:

no ... its just my coco urkle that is flowering im not sure y but i guess it decided to start early.. and maybe ill have one to harvest early to :jointsmile:

hey guys wondering if some one can help me out here :mad:.. got something going on with my coco urkle... im not postive what it is but i think its either magnesium or calcium... or maybe its nute burn not sure

im using full strength of cns17 bloom 2-2-3 and full strength sweet..

i jsut switched to full flowering nutes 2 days ago.. i was using half veg and half flower for 1 week like the bottle says in transition phase.. anyways heres the pics

sorry for the camera phone pics i lost my cord to my camera :mad:

I might say that your solution is too strong. I've never used that mix, but I'd flush it then switch to 1/2 strength nutes and see how it goes. Maybe urkle is a bit on the bitchy side?

soo it looks like i got my problem solved... the cns 17 nutes were really lacking in cal and mag.. soo i switched to flora nova bloom 4-8-7.. and the coco girls are loving it... i wish i could find my cord for my camera


heres some pics with my camera phone :(

i super cropped 2 branches on the urkle to open the middle up to some lighting

hey bick,

looking great outdoors. nice to see someone trying out the coco. had some fine results with it myself in and out. be back to check in when i can, good work.

mgm

hey thanks for the good words mgm... :thumbsup:

i went and got a new pot from the hydro store and a bag of some bcuzz coco wich was $30! ... the pot was 10$ but its not your average pot.. it supposed to be good for outdoors check it out!


[attachment=o224202]

[attachment=o224205]

Interesting pots. I've thought about putting holes in the sides of my pots for a little extra air to the roots. Looks good!

so far so good joe!:thumbsup:.. i watered 2 days ago when i transplanted and the coco is still moist and heavy .. im gunna see how long it takes for the pot to dry up... i hope i dont come home later today and its dry.... im going to cut my nutes back to full strength every other watering ... also since it takes this long for the pot to dry up i can save some money on not using so much nutes..


my 2 urkles in soil are doing good excep one still shows no sex!!!
