OGB's Blue Venom Coco Grow

OGBubble said:

Hey THCF'ers this will be my second log on THCF and also my second run in coco. Round 1, which went amazingly well very very few to almost no hiccups can be found in my signature and there is more variety with the strains in that run. I lagged on getting my clones so this saturday is the first shot of them getting their first bath of 600 watt mh instead of one 26w cfl over them all which is what they have been getting for about a week and two days, I wish I would have started them earlier.

Strain:
Blue Venom

This Run:
600watt MH Digilux's Supposed worlds first true 600w MH for veg
GE's 600w HPS for Flower
UVB Bulbs
4x4 Tent
Same nutrients as last run I will just be tweaking them as necessary

w.wonka ~ Yeah it turned out better than I though it was going to but I do not know any measurements yet. For veg I don't remember time frame, I'll check into that for ya. As for height they were all between 12-18" when I flipped.

Nice Blueberry x White widow sounds lovely. Whats the Flower time?

Did you grow from beans or clones?

They are clones, there is one seed in the picture and that is ?????? (I know what it is but I am not telling till it survives its struggle and I can flower her out). As far as flower time with the Blue Venom I believe its 8-9 weeks, I will double check that, but I will still most likely take them to week 10 even if it is an 8 weeker.

Coo. thats always my strategy as well I love to let them grow for a week over the flower time or even slightly longer. i usually find that a longer flowering paired with a proper dry and cure creates nastyy meds that are both deep on the body and mental level.

Loving the grow logs OGb! Now i'm very happy about making the change to coco...I'm using basically the same additives that you are:- Canna A+B, Cannazym, Rhizotonic, Silica, Accelerator and PK13/14. This is just some of the additives that I had left over from my last grow... Might opt for a different booster though, I have heard that Dutch Passion is higher in PK than a lot of the other brands.
Question: Do you water everyday to 10% run off like some people advise, or do you just treat it like soil and water when dry? I'm going to try the first option, as it is supposed to work the same as growing in hydro. I've been doing it for a week so far, and the plants aren't showing any signs of over watering! In fact I'm fucking amazed at how well this works...Good luck with your 2nd grow dude, I'll be watching!

There is no way to over water in coco unless your pots didn't drain. As far as watering goes I water when the pots are 50% of their weight at full watering which I just lift the pots to check. You can power away and water daily but I just find the extra effort to be pointless and unnecessary. As far as run off I try to get 20-30%.

Question for you: Are you using Rhizotonic and Roots Excelurator?

Thanx man, that cleared up some confusion for me... I was beginning to think that watering everyday was a little unnecessary. I'm going to water every other day now, depending on pot weight. I just use Rhizotonic, not roots accelerator. When I refer to accelerator, I mean the canna bloom accelerator. I only use it when they're in flower! I'm still having some fun getting the feed mix right, it would seem that you should never trust what the manufacturers advise straight away... I added the "correct" amount of silica to my feed last week, and was then told to use half what they advise by a close friend. My plants look well shiney!!! Glad I found this out sooner rather than later!

Your very welcome. With MOST manufacturer recommended doses they are well out of the wanted range but there are definitely some out there that wont fry your babies. Well in regards to silica you can't really overdose your plants with it. In fact, I use silica as my PH up. I actually do not use PH up or down at all.

Thanks for clearing up that about the rhizo I was just thinking that kinda a waste just use the rhizo till its gone then keep using the roots excel. (its cheaper in the long run even though the upfront price is more.)

I love me some blueberry! I'm takin a seat for this one

Glad to have you on, hope you enjoy!

Hell yeah OGB gonna be some dank man!

Sticky Icky ~ Hell yeah man I have heard some good things from some friends who run it and I really like the results that I have personally seen. Hope you enjoy the show!
