First swing at coco, sweet cherry pie by sweet seeds

[iStruggle]

~late week 2 or early week 3. Had to dial back my feeding, was pushing too hard. Really like coco so far. All my other grows have been soil. Have some Pie face by archive in the back ground, in ocean forest with DtE amendments.

Transplant time. Plants are just so happy in coco, i have no idea what im doing and this has to be the healthiest roots ive had

starting to bump up the EC with the big bud and am building up slowly. I dont trust the feed charts, looks like a recipe for burning the shit out of the plants.We’ll see how it goes

 

[iStruggle]

Seeing the first evidence of burn on the tips, will throttle back to 1.38EC or so. Guessing bulk will start next week, but everything regarding this flower has been slow. Hope it pays off

Not bulking as much as i would like. Being my first coco grow i think i was supposed to raise my ph to around 6.0 for late flower. I corrected that, probably too late. Im guessing 2 1/2 to 3 more weeks.

Those are looking very healthy.

What is your feeding schedule? Daily?

Thanks. Yes, hand feeding daily.

Great looking plants
I'm fairly new to fabric pots and I find them very forgiving

I cannot recommend the rain science pots enough. They will be all i grow in moving forward

With my current grow, I started at 5.8 and then lowered it to 5.5 for the whole flower cycle. So I did the reverse - but I was following the breeder's recommendation for the strain - GHS The Church. I just harvested 2 plants that seem about normal for the light/pot size/veg time and I have one monster that is not quite mature yet. So all things being equal, this is telling me that it is the genetics that are the key and how each pheno reacts to the environment and food that you provide.

That's very very interesting. What medium and did the breeder give an exact reason? Did it seem to help?

It was a promo vid that Franco and Arjan did on the strain. I can't say it helped but it didn't hurt them afaik.
