Joe's Grow Show Pt. 1: The Coco Diaries

[Thejoeybrown]

Most likely change a little each time as it uses up certain nutrients in diff rates...
Thus the idea behind change outs.
1 part nutrients such as csn17 i think can maybe go longer than a several part mix....

Exactly. Don't think I would ever try. Would just do rdwc. But I have been reading and some people do really well

From the picture I thought you were growing in pebbles/lava rock, but if your growing coco I would stick with drain to waste. The only back draw from dtw is the waist water but not enough to warrant a switch to recirculate if your in coco.
I had a buddy that recirculate lava rock with just gh 3 part base and killed it back in the day. IMO recirculate needs to be done with base only for less issues with ph swing.

Yea I just have a layer of hydroton on top.
A lot of people do succeed in recirculating drop systems but I don't think I would. I would probably try rdwc or F&D. But it is interesting. Some guys kill it. I imagine a lot of dialing it in

Ya definatly a learning curve, and my friend did flood n drain. This was back in like 2000 before coco was ever available. LoL I just feel dtw coco is a no brainer and easy to fix problems with small pots.

Exactly. Super simple. As long as you don't over complicate it.

The in ground came out great. The potted coco one came out really nice but I battled caterpillars at the end pretty tough
The coco one is being run into qwiso

Hers some pics of the in ground one.
Just got her in jars a few days ago.
I only gave her water 2 times when she was very young then realized the soil needed NOTHING. So I never even gave her a drop of water again. Never one nutrient. 100% completely organic.
She smells like lemon candy and taste like straight lemon even before a cure
I was super impressed will run a full run next year in ground like that

Niice! Beasting buds! Sucks on the caterpillars, I don’t see how you can’t get cater’s, I always get some on my outdoor. Damn white moths. What did you do for weight on the in ground no water gal? Probably pretty good:)peace

 

[GrowGod]

I posted this on events thread but I have to post it here too

Check out this leaf. 13 fingers. Pretty cool
This girl has been throwing 11 and 12 fingers the whole time but this one really tripped me out. Lol

Love this!

Wisher had a pretty good idea on that. He said to build an enclosure for the plant out of 2x4's if I remember correctly and wrap it in mosquito netting. Sunlight gets in but no moths. My area is already enclosed on the sides so next year I'm going to cover the top with the netting and see how it goes. It should work unless they drop their eggs through and let them fall on the plant. I think it will work! I also worry a little that it will keep out good predator bugs. Any praying mantis I come by will get thrown in there.

Grow looks great Joey!! I'm on day 29. Started week 5 yesterday with some PK 13/14. Hope I get some good swell. I need to get some pics.

Ya that's what I'm gonna do next year. Probably put a couple thousand ladybugs in there since they will be enclosed.
Ya bro let's see some pics!! Throw them up here
I'm getting excited for these Fire OG crosses.
I can't wait for like 3 more weeks to see how they're gonna look. Lol

Like the ladybug idea.

So here's the pics day 29. I'm still trying to find a pheno to do a nice scrogg run with so this time I just let them go mostly natural with a couple toppings and supercroppings here and there. I have Sour Urkle back left then White Blaze back right, Urkle's girl front left and Bubba kush front right. Urkle's girl is from seed. I just added the net last night. I don't think I needed it since my branches are all strong but I really wanted to see it in there lol. Also a few close up shots. The bubba and bubbas girl are the frostiest. The white blaze hairs are yellow. My space is 33 x 45 inches with one 315 cmh 3100K. I'm ashamed to post these after seeing yours lol. Nice job!

 

[Farmer P]

I'm in the market for some new beans. Any you'd recommend?

@Irietime where did you get the purple mountain majesty?

That would work for sure! That’s the ticket, I’ll probably roll with something like this next year. Thanks

@Irietime where did you get the purple mountain majesty?

I got them from green point seeds out of Colorado. Super easy to deal with and took my card no problem and arrived quick. They’ve got some beans that they are discontinuing, some fire, pmm was one of them. At check out in the discounts section type in ”intheknow”, got me 60% off. I picked up 5 different packs including more pmm for a 100 bucks. Hopefully they still got some for ya. Peace

What up fellas.
Got Saturday off his week get a whole weekend to kick back.

Here's some update pics.
They've stopped stretching (Chemdog 91 had a Lil burst still)
Finally should be done positioning the branches
The last week I used plant ties to tie any taller branches to the scrog. Once the buds set in I don't want to pull thru the net and damage them to hell. Lo

Pics are day 26
the an af i from Chemdog 91. Y far my "prettiest" lookin girl. Very long sativa looking. The leaves just have a look to them I love. I'm hoping the end result is as good. The cuts I have are my most vigorous clones and I'd love to Mother one out.

Looking great! That's gonna be a big ass harvest.

Lookin fire bro! Those babies are frosting up nice. Gonna be a solid run!

I'm in the market for some new beans. Any you'd recommend?

Well IMO from what I've seen around here I want to run some of @thunderfudge gear. I'm drooling over them I just had to finish up some seeds I had. I need to make a purchase tho. No ifs ands or buts. Lol
Also I want to try someone's work on here. I don't know if I'm allowed to say it cuz it's like promoting but he's in my thread. Liking and commenting. Lol. If you want I can pm you. I want to get some of his hyper glue crosses

Ya I'm hoping to up my numbers just for piece of mind and know that I'm improving on my gpw but this runnis still a pheno hunting so the quality is what I'm looking for

Then when I have the quality strain I want it will be all about dialing her in and maximizing her potential.
Can't wait

 

[Farmer P]

Cool thanks bro. I'll check out the thunderfudge for sure. It seems like I've seen a lot of good results with exotic gear too. I'm waiting for a new drop to see what they come out with. Not sure but I think someone said they got burned out in the big fires so that may be a while.

 

[Enforcer]

Nice work bro! That one outdoor cola is super impressive.
