Second Indoor Grow Attempt

[Boomshankar]

No doubt, just making sure you knew the respect was there. I know things can get misinterpreted in text easily. I agree about the roots but things turn around fast in coco. I just see that hes already not watering enough volume per watering and that means lots of dry coco. I think in the smaller pots he'll be able to keep them happier in the long run. Especially if he can get some beneficial bacteria going in the root zone.

The coco in 20l was not dry, only the top layer was dry. As I transplanted I saw all the buckets were fully moist an inch below from the top to the bottom. It was more moist as it went down.

 

[Boomshankar]

Yep, I understand how coco works, my only concern is more root damage when the plants are already weak, so it's a trade off between moving down size, or going with what the OP has already working, the plants won't need a lot of nuits at their size and colour, but in a weeks time they should be getting on. No argument dude, discussion, it's only a forum.

I tried my best to get the minimum root damage to the plants during the transplant l:)
I did use the root powder Some pics

Good root system, looks like they are only and inch or two from the side of the pot. With roots like those, it shouldn't take long to spin things in your favour.

The new setup:)

Boss Hopefully it does. I noticed as the roots went down it was spreading and as I was transplanting the coco was falling off, so the roots are damaged quite a bit. Let's see how we end up with them fingers crossed;)

The new setup:)

Lower the 2 lights above the orange buckets. You should be fine, the roots in the transplant pix look good. Give it a week and things should move in your favour.

Nice spotting! Will do it asap cheers

 

[Boomshankar]

I hope at least two of them turn out to be female

Fingers crossed for you bud, even if you only get one female, you can repopulate your grow space with cuttings.

Yes sir even one would be awesome

Looks really good in there @Boomshankar . I wouldnt normally suggest moving rhem like that but i think you'll really be able to control them better in those pots. Good watering will fill those pots with roots. @chemistry and i can give you advice all day and you will get a harvest but the best thing you can do is go to the coco threads and just read. Learn why you're doing things instead of just what to do. Once you learn how coco works and how plants grow and respond to changes kn environment, you can find what works for you. You'll learn why I say nutes every feed. What are your resources? Do you have a grow store or an online supplier? You could really benefit from some form of beneficial bacteria.

I have online supplier. If you can pls tell me what things I have to search for

Guys Last two days feed on nutes 2 liter for 4 plants. No runoff seen yet planning to up the feed by 3 liter for 4 plants, should I up the nutes as well Any suggestions?

 

[chemistry]

Keep going as you are, wait unitl your plants green up before you make any changes, or a change could hold them back. Wait a week and see what happens.

What strength are you mixing the nutes at?

 

[Boomshankar]

What strength are you mixing the nutes at?

The same bro 4.5 ml of micro bloom grow per 5 liter

Yo guys @incogneato n @chemistry

 

[Boomshankar]

I know every grower here has their own perspectives. But for this 4 plants I will follow both of you only. So pls try and make my first successful grow:)

No doubt, thats what were here for. Do you have a tds/ec meter? It would be nice to see where your feed is at strength wise. How are your plans for the bloom box going?
