I water daily 8-10oz. and when needed a lil more
keep them moist and hungry

that would be the life huh, no more work just wake lite one and go into the LAB, it will make you mad, mad i tell you wahahahahah.

another wonderful harvest :rastasmoke:

That's what I'm doing now just to sort of start back to square one, then I'll start a new feeding regimen. I need to get all the old shit out of there and just start from scratch...I think LOL. Seems to be the best philosophy so far!

Also, on cannn-uk.com I found a form you can fill out for your type of medium and it will tell you the recommended PPM levels for growing in coco throughout the stages of growth, but it can also include any type of medium. I can post the link if anyone is interested.

Ya now that would be the shit. I just wanna grow stuff now...anything lol.

I'll post updates in a day or two with some pics.

Thank you!

Update:

Well seeing as how I've found three credible sources that are telling me that this far into flowering the ppm feeding should be between 800 and 1k, I'm going with that for now. Essentially hitting them with nutes and calmag, then flushing with low PPM and clearex, repeat, repeat...per the feeding schedules I have found for coco.
So I tried the feeding last night when the light came and 1kPPM, and I'll flush tonight. I checked this morning before the light went off and they(including the problem plant) looked pretty good.

I'll see how it goes and update with some pics. Coco is an interesting grow.

The good: These plants are doing great now.

4 weeks into flowering.

I found a solid feeding regimen to stick by and it seems to be going good. Considering my first grow, I'm extremely happy with these two fine ladies. I have no idea the strain, wish I could find out somehow. In WeedHound's hydro grow guide, it is recommended that Sweet and Hydroplex is used. I am not using any of those two now, but will pick up them up next week.

Thanks again for everyone's help...most appreciated.
Next post is the problem plant.

The not so bad, but better than it was:

The bitch of the bunch. She's been a work in progress but I think I have her figured out. There are still a few leaves not doing so well, but I'm thinking it's a remainder of the pre-existing issues due to my ignorance. Not that I'm not ignorant anymore LOL, just a bit more educated. I've done a few tests with her, one of them being skipping a day of watering. She didn't like it...not one bit, and she let me know. She is VERY expressive. I think she will be saved and at least yield a couple yummy nugs.

I am solely using RO water now BTW.

For the curious...I believe this was a culmination of a few problems: nut lock out due to poor PH(I think that's where it all started), probably some mag def after starting distilled water(now using RO water), etc. Treating coco like a soil grow...only watering a few times a week, giving the administered nutes time to harden and destroy some roots, also contributing to the lock out?? Point being is there was a myriad of issues going on. She's cleaning up though, flowering, and producing some noticeable trichs. Nothing close to the other two, but she IS producing.

The 3rd pic was how the problems were starting,,,then progressing to look like the other damaged leaves. Damage seems to have subsided.

To me, comparing these pics (taken 7-8-09) to the previous set (taken 6-30-09), both of this plant and the previous post...there seems to me to be some good overall improvement.

looks good, some times i get a female that wont conform to my program and then i just put her out to flower and she dont come back

[sergentjunk]

Damn Phat...that's a bad deal. I'm not sure if she will yield much at all, if anything. What I'm most interested in (other than using her to learn from) is the seeds. I left the male in long enough to blow his nut, so they will all produce seeds I'm sure. But she is from a different strain I think....so that's my major motive in her.

Patience. You will lose some of the yield because of the seeds, (most of the yield) and it takes about 4 to 5 weeks minimum for seed to become viable.

Thanks for the tip Rusty! They're into their fourth week now, and I'm sure there's another four to go...at least. I'm not too concerned about the yield other than seeds. The two good plants will do me fine...at least long enough to get through the next grow. It's all personal and I'm not a heavy smoker. I prefer quality over quantity, they seem to be very nice quality...at least better than I used to purchase. LOL...."Used to purchase", that's great. These are actually bag seeds out of some VERY nice stuff that I was lucky to get my hands on, and lucky enough to have seeds.

Thanks again!
