I had a brick of coco sitting on the shelf. Not sure when I bought it, but I had always considered trying to grow in it because so many of my fellow farmers use it.
But I went the super soil route, and didn't want to mess with what is working.
But a fellow farmer wrote so passionately about the simplicity of hempy buckets and MaxiBloom only, I had to give it a try.
As can be seen, I spare no expense on containers, and that one brick of coco made exactly this much.
Some hydroton in bottom and a drain hole at the same level about an inch from bottom.
Cuttings were taken 10 March '14, so that makes them 5 weeks.
2-3 weeks for roots in Rapid Rooters and then into coco.
Feeding only a low dose of MaxiBloom.
I don't brag about cloning skills.
If it survives, it's good.
That one in the middle had almost no green on it when it went into coco.
Only a small green ball at the leaf nodes.
She has come along way.
I should add that these particular plants are a pollen chuck of my favorite Kush and the baddest Sati male I could find (based on readings here at the farm). Got 100 seeds, and have flowered these particular plants a few times, so I know the product is desirable and how they behave in soil.
Plan to keep it simple and see what happens.
PS Thinking three months out to the bud shots, perhaps this should be in pollen chuckers thread.
