looks great can't wait to see more buds :thumbsup:

The growing medium is Black Gold CocoBlend, its my first time using it, but i was told good things about it from reliable sources.. So far, i really like it. It is basically 60% coco coir and the rest black gold soil. It doesnt drain extremely fast, seems to sort of "sponge up" the water, and then once the roots have absorbed most of it, it dries out rather quickly. Only downside is that i have to really stay on top of my watering schedule... My only other comments on the CocoBlend is that it blows away rather easily when it dries out and your fans are going too strong..

As far as nutes, i began with just EarthJuice Grow, to boost the N, and then i began foliar feeding with EJ Microblast around 3 weeks in to keep micro nutes stable. Also dosed them with EJ Catalyst around that time. I used B1 start solution with chelated iron to fix my iron def. at 5 weeks, and keep the roots healthy. About a week before i changed my lights to 12/12, i began feeding in some EJ Bloom, more Catalyst, and just a little Grow. Now that i am in full flowering, im using mostly Bloom, some Catalyst, Meta-K to keep up the potassium, and i'm also adding Grow every 3rd watering.. I'm following the direction on the bottles, and using medium strength applications on all nutes.

My watering schedule is pretty steadily once every other day. I mix up 5 gallons of water about a day and a half ahead of time, and mix in the nutes, stir it up, and let it sit and stabilize. I've been flushing with plain water every time i add a new nute into the mix, and right after my heavy feedings, just because im paranoid about overdoing it.. :stoned: haha

With a 5 gallon typical watering, i normally have less than one cup of runoff from the drain holes on my bed, and i've got a very cheap PH meter, so i dont really trust it, although it tells my my soil/runoff is around 6.8?

They are around 20 days in flower right now, and looking good! I should have more pics up in a couple days, showing their current state. I do have one concern right now: mold.

I spotted some hairs on the buds that have a tiny brownish tinge on the ends. I will post pics later on, they are sleeping right now, but has anyone seen this before? some buds dont have it, but the ones that do, look as if they'd been singed with a flame.. I just put a digi temp/humidity readout in the closet, so im hoping maybe i just need to raise the light or something.
