Joe's Grow Show Pt. 1: The Coco Diaries

[chronic68]

Photo bomb. Doing my best with the shitty hps lighting, but I did take it outside the door for a second to look at the trichs and see where I'm at. Getting very milky. So far I'm very pleased with this girl.
The pic that is not in hps light is called "snowstorm". Lol

you should post that snowstorm photo in the photo of the month competition

Coco growers... @justiceman mh question is this.

3 weeks prior to harvest according to my nute schedule I should cut the big bud and give overdrive for 2 weeks. For longer flower I add the weeks to the big bud weeks so it is still only 2 weeks of overdrive and 1 week flawless finish for flush. If I switch to the overdrive for 2 weeks and say I still have more time should I give the flush for as long as it takes? Or do I start giving plain water at the very end if she isn't ready? It's hard to tell when I'm 3 weeks away. Lol

Looking real nice in here!

I'm not familiar with some of those products but I would recommend following what they say and then if they are not ready I would give plain PHd water until they are.

That being said I personally like to cut my base nutrient in half by week 6ish, and then when it hits 7 on a strain that finishes in 9-10 weeks I prefer Ph'd tap water at .2EC(100ppm) to help maintain the pH balance in the coco so the plant can use the remaining nutrition and not stress out. On my last run I flushed for about 3 weeks, because I had a decent amount of accumulation.

Thanks bro! I'm glad to hear your advice. You answered my question 100%. My plan was to switch to the late phase nutes and then 3-5 days flawless finish to help flush and then pH'd water for the rest of the time I was just worried if it was more than a week or so if the plain water would somehow derail the late development. I'm glad to hear I can go that extra time in plain water if need be.

Here's my daily post. Picked the best bud porn shots for today

Got a good look at the trichs with my loupe and my hand microscope. I was very happy with what I saw. Lots of milky with still a good amount of clear. I'm happy because I know I have a couple more weeks at very least. I will give nutes 2 more weeks then I will use flawless finish for a little under a week then plain pHd water until finish. The longer the better as I am like the idea of the ph water drawing out every little bit of whats stored in there.

She's got the look! Any decent cam will capture that.

Damn you got Jack Frost up in dat bitch bro

 

[Thejoeybrown]

What up guys. Today is an exciting day! Got a couple packs of seeds for my next round! White Widow fem and Jack Herer fem from growers choice seeds. I will be popping them in the next few days and getting their first couple weeks under my cfl lights then under the MH when this girl is out of the room. I wanted to have them in Coco already but it took me a little while to find the strains I wanted.

Here are the new girls. And some bud porn of my beautiful lady. Shes gettin close!

 

[Thejoeybrown]

And the bud porn

 

[Thejoeybrown]

Anybody have experience with growers choice? I'm sure some have they seem fairly big and all my research showed them to be dependable.

 

[justiceman]

Nice pick up and flowers! I have not tried growers choice but I'm sure they are nice. I like those strain choices.:D

And the bud porn

Thanks bro! She is a Girl Scout Cookies seed from bag seed! 3/4 turned on me so I ended up with this one gem. I think she felt bad for me and decided to give me the love I've given her. Lol

 

[Thejoeybrown]

Hey guys here's a few daily pics. She is really packing on frost and the weight daily. I have cut my base nute in half while keeping the micros same feeding at about 570-600 total ppm. This will be last week of nutes then it's a few days of flawless finish then just plain pHd water till she's ready. I'm getting excited.

 

[Thejoeybrown]

Also on a side note. The Jack Herer and the White Widow beans are in water now. Waiting for that little root to shoot then under the CFLs they'll go until they move into they're new home. Can't decide if I should make a new thread or just keep this one going and change the name. Lol. Decisions

Lol. I hear ya. I think cali connection sells a GSC that is supposed to be legit. You know I'm new to buying seeds so I'm sure someone else would know of others or have an opinion on the cali connection. I know many have different crosses but people want the real thing.
