HELP NEEDED FIRST TIME GROW INDOORS

[racheluk]

I am looking for some advise on growing indoors, I have 5 600WATT lights for 9 stardawg plants they have been planted into the canna coco 60/40 soil bags and I am feed them A +B daily and leaves are staring to go blackish , this is my first time and just wondering if I am doing anything wrong or could do anything better I am on day 43 of flowering and going to give them just water on day 49 for 2 weeks? is this right? ANY HELP thanks

Coco + soil = soil. Treat them as if they were in soil.

 

[racheluk]

what do you mean by treat as if they were in soil? they are in soil aint they not sure if I sound dumb this is my first time and just going off what I can find out online

You do not have soil. Coco is not the same as soil. The mix you have is coco and hydrocorn (clay pebbles), it is much more of a hydroponic medium as there is no nutrient provided by the medium and it will drain pretty quickly. It does seem that you have done almost everything right on point as your plants look good, I honestly don't see the almost black leaves you speak of but that could be the HPS lighting. If you are seeing leaves that are too dark it is most likely a nitrogen toxicity, so back off any nutrients providing nitrogen to your plants.

last 2 weeks u flush /. Like pour water through them like 12L per pot , than turn off lights for 2 days leave fans on ,

ur leaves will die off as the buds will suck the nutrients out of em so don’t stress its the buds u need to worry about, make sure there healthy and still growing.

I was told in the last 2 weeks to just feed them water into the soil bags as normal as they are not in pots ? also would you say 5 600WATTS HPS LIGHTS are too much for 9 plants in that space thanks

 

[the rrock]

how would you know they are gonna be done in 63 days,

 

[racheluk]

that's what I have been told lol

 

[the rrock]

they look pretty good and could go later than 63 days(or sooner), have patience and let them grow out

What kind of nutrients are you using

For those big ass bags you are gonna need a ton more at waters.

There is also a problem you will see. I take it you are watering where the stem is in the bag correct?

If your waterings look like this and you aren't flushing a ton of nutes through them and the orange areas are going to be a problem. Even if you are flushing a ton of nutes I have a feeling you are getting a ton of buildup in the orange areas are prob a good lack of water. You need to water almost the entire top of it. Specially with hydroton in the mix. Mix like that is 3-5 waterings a day if you had them in a normal size pot.

Canna Coco nutrients a+ b only

should I put holes in the corners of the bag and water all holes?

Yes at the very least. Good amount of runoff also in a big ass bag like that. Just to give you perspective. 18 plants in 1 gals will run me about a bag to a bag and a half of coco for all of them. They will drink about 40 gals of nutes in about 5 days in veg not even in flower.

thanks I will defiantly be giving them hell of a lot more then I have

[racheluk]

I would say they are pretty much done or would I be wrong been told when they start changing brownish to flush them? this is day 44 of flowering 12/12

 

[racheluk]

WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THIS IS TEMP TO HIGH HUMIDITY TO LOW

I would say those will be good between day 60 and 65. A lot of those pics were very blurry so there is not much that can be determined from them, so I am just going on the few pics I could see. If your flush is going to be 14 days I would schedule around 63 days, so about 19 more days. 5 more days with nutes then flush. I would recommend using magnesium sulfate the first week of the flush and plain water the last week; at least that is how I do it in soil. Since your medium isn’t going to hold as much nutrient as soil does you may be able to condense your flush period to about 10 days.
