Plumber's First Coco Grow

Cattapilla · Jan 16, 2020

Beautiful! I can't wait to plant two on my deck in February. I'm going to see how I do with them outside in 3 gallon pots.

They do well in that size. I've grown them in 3-5 gal pots to 3-4'. In coco in 1/2 & 1 gal pots 3-5' and they grow better. I'm thinking of startimg in coco in 4" pots and moving wk 2-3 into 3-5 gals. They have been amazing grown in coco.

I get this plastic foam pipe sleeve with just about every water heater I buy.

So of course I put in a 1" rockwool plug and figure I could cut bottles to fit. The wife askes why not glue a bunch together and float in the tubs. Brilliant!

I got an air pump that should run a dozen airstones. I'm guessing I'll be cutting a few hundred of these this weekend. Still need to move the tubs up to the greenhouse after levelling off the area and placing pallets.

Buds starting to stack.

About time.

Clipped the males and the small female on the swing set. I'm gonna need some smoke pretty soon so that little one and some lower branches of the large ones will get me through.

Wife and I discussed moving to Tennessee again. Hoping to put the house up for sale next January and plan the move April-June. Yes their laws suck but times are changing so it shouldn't be much longer plus we'll be looking at 20+ acres. 61 years in sunny so cal and I can't wait to escape.

Congrats and good luck with the move. It's not easy to uproot and relocate, I know it's coming for me at some point and it's not something I look forward to. 20 acres sounds awesome, that's the dream someday, to have an acreage.

If it happens early next year we won't be moving until mid year. Last night we were both looking at 20-30 acre lots in Bell Buckle, Shelbyville and a couple other small towns in the Murfreesboro area.

We need a city of 100K+ (Murfreesboro is 150K) to run a plumbing business but want to live in the sticks.

Our first year I won't have a grow as I'll be too busy getting the business going and working on the house. We're looking for a fixer uper to save on the cost and there's little we can't do ourselves so 2022 would be my first full spring/summer and I should have a greenhouse and of course I can comando grow on 20+ acres.

This has been a dream of ours for years and hopefully we can make it happen. I'd like to be able to fish and hunt on my own land or at least be able to go hunting near where we live.

Sunday morning update

GDP's planted Nov 24, greenhouse w/LED (4 9 watt/2700K bulbs diffuser removed) 1 gal fabric pots in coco, MasterBlend nutes watered between 1-4 x's a day as my schedule allows.

If I had the time today I'd add some lights including a 200w MH. They're doing well so it's not a priority. It's on the to do list as I plan to start planting again on the 25th.

6 of these 7

Were planted Sept 25 and flipped Nov 1.

These 4 were planted Aug 25

Flipped on Nov 1. 2 wk stretch about 9 wks in flower. Buds are stacking and swelling. 2-3 wks to go.

Full strength MasterBlend tomato and Magnesium Sulfate and lowered the calcium to half strength. Seems to be working.

Got a full day of work on the Honey Do list. Gonna be one of those Sundays.

Happy Growing!

Hell yeah man that’s the dream!!

We still owe about 80k here and it's worth over 500k. We also own my wife's mom's house worth about the same and owe about the same that we rent out. We'll keep the rental for income (about $1300 a month profit). We're thinking of purchasing a fixer upper in Murfreesboro, fix it up and flip it. Not much we can't do and we could live in it until we sell it while purchasing and starting the next one. 3-4 years of that and we could buy our home/property and make it just how we want and retire. Maybe foster care a half dozen kids. We've got a year to research and we can always fall back on plumbing if need be but I think we can do this and make more $. Dreams are awesome! Making them come true is even better.

I've been looking at that site for a couple years now. It's one of the better ones but now were looking at forclousers in town just to get some ideas of cost. We'll wait until after the move and we get settled in a rental before we get serious.

I'm tired of slowly killing myself making a living. Time to put all my experience together and fix houses to sell and make real money so we can retire.

I can do 6 days a week 10-12 hr days and do 3 a year. 25-50k plus profit on each is more than doable. 3-4 years of that and we'd be set.

I can always visit a legal state and buy what I need until we're settled.

keep this in mind ,at least it works for me,most folks when they buy a house ,the very first thing they do is start replaceing shit and putting what they wont in there,so as i found that make a good bank at end of day is dont up date the house,i rebuild what is orignally there,if it needs new sheet rock put it in,new shower stall put it in,but not to todays code,keep every thing old as the house is,this last house we paid 53 k,i put 5 thousand of my own money into rebuilding what was there and sold a 1980 house for pretty much 2/3rds more than what i paid,and on top that lived in it for the 5 yrs required,when i handed the keys over the house was straight out 1980 all the way ,but new,there isnt any jury rigging,im not about having someones kid fall threw a floor,all my shit is tight,that 5 k went on materials and there was plenty of labor involved,but the folks walked in smell of fresh paint and carpet ,no crack in walls every thing completlty gone threw ,with a portfolio of the constrution also there was no attempt to even try to get a lower price,no shit.
let them come in and put them fancy knobs and bars and fancy shit in even tile,remember the old stick on tile,sold house with it,5 k and banked another roll that paid for half this house we at now

Been wondering just how tall some if these plants have gotten.

Just under 6' in 1 gal pots.

Got 3 of 'em.

This coco with MasterBlend really works. The more you water the better it grows. This honestly couldn't be easier.
