Any update on the FOOP? I've been eyeing this line and wondering how it would do in coco and/or hydroponic type setups. AND... have you changed your opinion on the best organic nute line to use with coco?
I'm wanting to do a bottom feed type grow next (similar to hempy or swick), but still...
My % was about 60% coco, 25% perlite and 15% EWC. My intention was to go 1/3 each when I ordered my supplies, but decided to add a plant to the grow and ended up just blending my mix with what I had on hand. I did ph my water between 6.0 and 6.5, however, I don't know if it mattered or not...
Hey Guys & Gals,
Just wanted to stop by and update this thread with my current grow, just chopped yesterday. I did this grow using coco/perlite/EWC + added mineral kit for coco + geoflora nutes.
This has been my most successful grow yet - fully organic, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching...
...thru. Decent quality mail colas, good terpene profiles, lowish yield, somewhat airy secondary buds, slow growth, low stretch, did not stack well. *** must let coco dry out partially between waterings or ran into issues.
2nd grow - coco/perlite - Botanicare bottled nutes (blend of...
AWESOME! THANK YOU!! That is what I was hoping - these leaves are coming off anyway in a few days to complete mainline. I just left the fans on so they could gather more light while the node is growing out. I appreciate your input :)
Thanks, that is what my best guess was since I mistakenly left the light on too bright for these young plants. AND, on top of chopping their heads off to mainline - I'm sure they were NOT HAPPY with me 🤪
Hi All,
I have 5 plants growing, 4 weeks in, mainlining this round (my first time). 3 of my plants are about a week ahead, so those were topped about 4 days ago. I think they got stressed, because 2 of them (both Afghan Kush) are having issues. The other 3 (including one that was topped) look...
I've got some leaves going yellow on me over night. Am I low on nutes already? Or is this the plants already finishing off??
I'm just beginning week 6, it's been 17 days since my last top feed, but they may already have used that up since they are in mid flower.
Trichomes on the plants that...
I'm nearing the beginning of week 5 of flower and just noticed 2 of my plants with what looks like gonads - I'm hoping not, but don't know as this is my first grow. Can someone help verify?
Overall flowers on both plants are getting bigger and denser, and look very healthy.
I think one of my plants may have TMV, but overall growth does not seem to be affected. Strange leaves (mostly on the top of plant) and red stems. I'm in 3rd week of flower, in coco. My other plants have not been affected.
Can anyone confirm? If you think its something else, please let me...
How much dolomite lime do you amend your starting coco? Also, once you amend, do you have to top dress at any point throughout the lifecycle?? And one last question - does the dolomite help buffer your ph? Do you still ph all your water going in?? Thanks for your time 😉
THANK YOU so much for all of this information. It is very helpful to me and I appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise with me. I was thinking that might be the case with the organic amendments not breaking down quickly enough, and why I possibly had some slight deficiencies...
Just looked, and it is indeed derived from Potassium Silicate 😕
Do you recommend feeding Silica; Cal/Mag; Tea for EACH watering while I'm in flower? Based on the slower growth, and only needing water every other day, I'm thinking that my microbiology is just not as robust as it should be. And...
