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

[PhatJay]

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.

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...

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.
