Great strain choices, and your procedure looks sound. The gnats were an added gift from FoxFarms. My CocoLoco had them too. I did my first run in the stuff. My advice would be to treat it like soil. You have already noticed the sky high ppm. If you water it like raw coco (once or twice a day) you will burn up your plants like I did. Water it every few days, and allow it to dry out a bit. Monitor your run off and don’t add any nutes until the ppm comes down, probably about a month. You will get some tip burn at first, but as you water the medium and the plants get bigger it will go away. I wouldn’t add nutes until your run off was around 200 ppm or so.

January 14th - seeds in wet paper towels and ziploc bags
January 16th - 100% seeds germinated, threw them in solo cups filled with CocoLoco, used clear cups as dome for humidity.
Watered small amount twice a day.
Folded towel and water in a bowl raised humidity from 10% to 30%
Later added a tabletop humidifier with no progress at all.
Jan 22nd
.7ml B - .7ml A - 4ml rhizo
1 liter 380ppm 6.4pH
Watered with 10% runoff... Did this way too late at night didnt realize how high that ppm was.
Using all this water to raise humidity I ended up finding gnats... Scooped up top layer of soil which had some kind of -I'm guessing- salt build up. Topped with fresh coco and put up a few yellow stickies... My ppm was way too high so I put some ro water on stems.
Jan 24th
1 liter 120ppm 6.0pH which was clean water + calmag
Light 36 in away (was 82° now 77)
Lost a seedling! (G13xSD)
Jan 26th - letting the coco dry to get rid of the gnats... Not sure how far to go without water. I have so many wrong parameters that I have a hard time knowing what symptoms come from what condition.
Pics coming soon
It may not be a whole month. I was just giving you a rough estimate. It depends on how often you water. Or you could flush the hell out of the medium. But if you wanted to do that, you would have just bought raw coco. I’m just saying that CocoLoco is a blended coco product with a lot of nutes already in it. So adding nutes on top of that will burn your plants. The trick is to wait until the medium is depleted of nutrients before you start adding more.Wow cut nutes for a month??? I lowered the ppm to 200, I'll be giving demineralized water for next watering but theyre growing fast af I think I'll put em back on 300-400ppm for every other watering. I wish I could post pics on here but I cant figure it out lol.
My humidity is still very low at 20% average. I tried spraying water throughout the tent with no result. I think thats why the leaves dont look as healthy as they should. Any ideas on how to raise humidity efficiently and somewhat cheaply?
Maaaan these fucking gnats are annoying everytime I think theyre gonna theres a couple that come out of a cup. Bastards!
Anytime bro. Your plastic container should be good. Happy growing!Well I appreciate the heads up man, thanks! If the plastic container doesnt I'll put some sandwich baga on there!
Everybody is doing OK. I am trying to figure out the best way to raise that damn RH tho. The bucket of water isnt cutting it at all, I'm still around 15%. I need a way to raise it to at least 30 to 40% without spending hundreds...
If you wrapped it and secured it in place, the plant will recover. It will form a “knuckle” at the break that will be very strong. Nothing to worry about. Plants look great!I broke the main stem on one of my plants! Minutes later I wrapped a piece of sterile thingy around it and taped it and the plant hasnt shown anything bad yet the picture was taken 30+ hours after the accident.
Otherwise everyone else is doing good I'm transplanting each of them as I see the need for it but they'll all be in 5 gallon before next week.
I started lst this week and am loving the results!
Love to all
