First time growing autos. First time in coco.

[TweakingSloth33]

Using Fox farm trio, GH Calimagic, GH diamond nectar, GH kool bloom, tps silica and signal here and there, and Soil Blast microbes. Strain on the left is blueberry by Seedsman, plant to the right was supposed to be an auto a friend made but had to switch lights to 12/12. Also running one clone of my Blueberry muffin in coco to compare to my organic grow.

Oh and if you look the plants had a plasticy look to them was only using cal mag and grow big. Once I started adding big bloom to the mix they started to look more vibrant. Pic 6 is where you’ll see them getting healthier.

If you want big, healthy, fast growing plants in coco you need to water (fertigate with hydro nutes) 3+ x's a day with 10-20% runoff and never allow the coco to dry out.

It's been the easiest grow method I've ever tried. I use the Master Blend method for tomatoes with Epsom salt and calcium. I tweek it a bit but easy.

Yeah I been watering 2 times a day in veg. Now that they’re flowering I have no choice but minimum of 2 times a day but more like 3-4. I much prefer organic soil to be honest. I’m just trying this out during my short layoff (2-3 months a year from construction) if I were to stick with this I’d probably set up some kind of irrigation with nutes premixed in a reservoir.

I know this line I’m using rn wouldn’t work in drip lines. I don’t get too picky about nutes either there’s like 4 major corporations and all these brands are white label versions of those 4 major corps. Cropsalt and Jacks were on my radar but I’ll check into master blend.

Day 22 of flower for Seedsman blueberry

Plant in the middle is Alaskan thunder fuck. First sign of pistols 4 days ago.

 

[TweakingSloth33]

Coco tent day 27 of flower for the blueberry auto on right, day 22 of flower for the other 2. Been keeping track of when I see pistols too. I kinda keep that as my real flowering time.

Day 30 for blueberry muffin 25 days since flipping lights for the small blueberry muffin clone and bigger Alaskan thunder fuck

 

[TweakingSloth33]

Nice lemon cleaner terps very uplifting high. 3 oz of tops 4oz of lowers. Nice change up from my blueberry muffin bud that a chill high. Love how simple plant control is in coco but this hand watering/feeding non stop is not for me. Got a bunch of photos running but will pop these same seeds in organic soil next go.

This things been a nightmare. Flowering way longer than expected. Very slow bud development idk if I stunted it or just genetics. Other 2 plants I grew in coco came out fine though.

Wanted to do a little comparison (don’t flame me too hard I know there’s millions of variables at play here plant training, feeding regimen, etc) to see which style I liked better and what bud will come out better. Haven’t have the little coco plant a smoke test yet. Organic version is way stickier and terpy compared to the coco. This little coco bud is still really nice regardless though. It’s just a slightly muted version. Will update on which is more potent once cured.
