Hey all,

I've not been active on this site for a long time. I'm looking to reconnect with some old friends, make some new friends, and have fun along the way. Figured Christmas was as good a time as any to kick off a new grow diary.

I've been primarily a coco grower for the last 10+ years. I love growing everything, but landrace sativas are my favorites. Here's a little info on what I've got going on right now:

Table 1: 4x8'
Medium/Containers: 100% Coco + 1 Gallon Pots
Lighting: 630w LED + 600w HPS
Strain: AoF x Sensi Star (m/f) + 4 clones (f)
Lighting: 12/12 - Day 2
Temps: 75-78F (lights on), and 65-67F (lights out)
PH: 5.8-6.1

Pull up a chair, make yourselves comfortable, feel free to chat, bullshit, and have fun. More to come soon.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you too.

Maybe you can help me decide, looks like you're running Ebb and flow.
I'm torn between dtw and e&f when going to coco.
Guess e&f just needs more watering schedules and a good nutrient brand made for it? More water usage in e&f maybe?

Happy growing

Maybe you can help me decide since you're running Ebb and flow it seems.

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m actually going DTW and hand watering each container daily. Soon I’ll get my res setup and then I’ll automate that process too.

Nothing wrong with ebb/flow, but I’ve been using DTW for so long and never found a reason to change anything. It’s really easy to mix up 10 gallons of nutrients - I’m in and out of there in about 20 minutes. It’s just so easy and it works.

Quick update here. Today is day 6 since flip; I'm very impressed with the vigor that I'm seeing. The canopy has exploded in the last 6 days and I will need to start defoliating soon. I'm seeing a very nice mix of both males and females; there is a lot of uniformity, but I'm seeing a few outliers that are either very squat or quite lanky with nice internodal spacing. The plants have responded very well to the gradual increase of nutrients up to 1.4-1.6 EC; I don't anticipate going much higher than this for the entire grow - I'm thinking 1.8 EC will be the absolute max depending on how the plants respond. Less is usually more.

If you notice any spots on the leaves, this is due to a recent application of IPM. I don't have any pests, but I spray a very diluted dose (1/4 strength) of Lost Coast Plant Therapy. It's mostly alcohol, peppermint oil, and some other stuff. It's gentle, smells nice, but it temporarily leaves spots on the leaves when it dries. I'll probably hit the plants one more time with the IPM next week before I stop any further spraying as we get into bud development.

Two weeks today. I've got the males moved off the main table; planning to either isolate and collect pollen or do a full open pollination. I'm planning on turning most of this into hash so I'm not really concerned with the seeds.
