The reason I went coco, day of harvest

[BlueBear]

OK, quick update. Chopped at day 50 because it was showing up 80/20 on the RadioShack special. Coco is my prefered medium at this point and I can't see my self switching back to soil ever or messing with my DWC buckets again unless I just have alot of extra time on my hands.
This is on par with the buckets any way, but with out PH fluxes, temp problems, water changes and so on.
Nutes are the GH 3 Part with the Late Wood formula including CalMag, SuperThrive, LiquidKarma and KoolBloom.
No problems/defs or complaints the whole grow.
Local strain that I was given for a test grow and I have 2 more in flower right now and 10 in the veg cab. 4 weeks veg
Adieu

We're impressed here, those are awsome buds! D you have a log from your grow?

[dusto2k3]

yesss, i'll be there soon, looks like your loco for coco!!!!

[BlueBear]

Thanks for stopping in young lady and Dusto. I am sorry, but I don't have a full log, bad at keeping up.
Here was a day 30 flower update http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...coco-coir.html

Here is a thread that I do need to update that has a pic of her in the veg cab I believe right before she went into flower. You just have to look around. Her name is Chang. http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...ite-widow.html

Dusto I am def a Coco convert and hope more folks will try it out because I am just loving what I consider the hydro yield without the hydro work. Don't get me wrong it isn't a bed of roses, but once you have a little experience with growing it is a nice way to go.

[BlueBear]

Thanks for stopping in.

that is perhaps an ironic statement; a rose bed is no bed of roses either...

sooo, my darling bear. good to see you around these parts again.. i have a few q's for you.

where can i get coco coir? i can't order ol, but i can make a day trip.
can i use a 175gph pond pump in a timed irrigation system?
would a timed irrigation system be helpful with coco?
how often do you need to water with coco?
where can i find superthrive?

ok, that's all for now, don't want to scare you off with a ten page questionaire...

love, Sky :abduct:

[dusto2k3]

yeah bear, i have my mums in some coco, and my next sog is gonna be in coco, so I might be asking for some tips herre and there

[doco]

Wow Bear those are some great lookin nugs - lol that one pic shows it as big as a box of oatmeal, sweet.

I am a first time indoor grower and I used soil but I'm definitely intrigued by your enthusiasm. I'll have to do some searches to find out more because I don't have the slightest idea how to grow in coco - yet!

EDIT: I just saw your offer to do an essay - that would be fantastic!
