(aquanauts) First bagseed grow!

[PhatJay]

Just wanted to second what BickeyBammer said about the Coco. One of the advantages of growing in coco is that it is much harder to over water than in regular soil. If you read the bumf on the back of the bag it says that even when wet it maintains 23% air. Like he said, treat coco as hydroponics.

edit : also as far as I am being told, this applies to PH aswell. I have been advised to keep my PH between 5.8 and 6.5. Which is why I don't like watering with my 7.5 tap water. The people telling me this are people I know and I have seen and tasted the results they get.

Good idea adding "in coco" in your sig... I think I may steal this idea.

I have no idea what these are as I received them from a buddy who had some bagseed laying around. Canna Coco Canna Coco A & B nutes (used during entire grow, until flush) Canna PK 13/14 (start @ 3 weeks into flower) RO/DI Water 150w 6700k MH (veg) 250w HPS (flower) 4x 23w 6500k CFL's for when the 250w HPS goes up.

@PhatJay - Ahh... okay thats good to know. Thanks!


Day 11 - AM - Veg

• Made new nutrient solution with tap water as I can't get CalMag until later this coming week.
• Watered this morning (trying new daily water regime)

Hopefully using the tap water will make the ladies a little happier. My theory is my RO/DI water I was using had little or no Ca/Mg in it. So using tap water until I can get some CalMag.

I wouldn't be worried in the least!

Day 13 - AM - Veg

• Watered and upped the dosage of my nutes to 2.5ml/46oz
• Noticed the edges of my leaves are sorta curled up? Whats up with that?

What type of light is that? I see the extra CFL, but what is the bigger thing in the middle.

Do you have a fan circulating air around the grow room? (in one of the pics in your 1st post it looks like you have one in the background). The curling right at the edges of the leaves can be a sign of transpiring. Not sure about the curling of the whole leaf. I had some curling right at the edges of some of my leaves, improving air circulation seems to have helped.

You used the word "transpiring" like it was a negative thing. Without transpiration the plants would be dead NOW.
The curling is probably a cal/mag def. sign IMO.

@ForgetClassC - The CFL's are for when my HPS goes up so I can supp some blue light. And the main light I'm using right now to veg is a 150w MH @ 6700k. Seems to be working pretty good so far.

@PhatJay - Yea I got a tower osculating fan that's always on low. I'll try to turn it up a little more. Thanks!

Well according to that ultimate growing video, curling up at the very edges of leaves happens when the leaves are too warm and are having to excessively transpire to cool down. I know a plant has to transpire to live. I am talking about that little "lip" on the edge of the leaves, not the curling of the whole leaf.
