ocean forest, happy frog, perlite, coco grow

[Dr.Greenthmb420]

Start my buddies grow back up for him while his indisposed using a 40/60 ocean forest/happy frog soil mixture and of that 30% perlite and 20% coco tek. I have a sample of roots excelurator i may add as well. Im thinking The two different soils have a combination of elements that seem to be beneifical together (Humic acid and bacteria/worm castings and guano) while the coco will add some nutrient retention and perlite adding aeration. Throw some lime in there too.... Starting in inexpensive 1 gal grow bags and the will probably transplant to larger air pots. PICS COMING SOON!

Im interested in how that soil mix works for you. Best of luck to you during this grow.

I used a new product called "tappin roots" (free sample from my hydro store guy) but best results i believe is from misting the bottom of the clone tray after they root out and immediately remist once the tray is dry. Repeat this and your roots with expand almost endlessly. So much that my roots got tangled up with surrounding clones.

My DWC using "Tappin Roots" seems to help roots grow healthy. Not too versed in DWC yet but if i had to guess a 20% root growth rate increase.

Todays update pic. Showing some growth. Closer to the light which will be a MH once I can source a new bulb.

Slight eagle clawing (probably pH)but besides that they look good.

Yep, Will be adding some worm castings and guana as i go thru veg, then probably tigerbloom to flower them out.

Last night I Sprayed them with Axiom (harpin protiens) Showing decent growth for not seeing them for 3-4 days. Also showing preflowers already! The 20% coco has helped retain enough moisture to avoid drying out too much. Im assisting my homie while he is locked up so not able to check on them everyday. Considering that, they are doing well. Stacking nodes pretty well even under an HPS. Planning to get a MH asap

 

[Dr.Greenthmb420]

All the Clones from the mother C1 are lanky seems to be an expressed phenotype which I will phase out after this cycle is flowered out. This are all the same stain from seeds purchased from Breeder "Reserva Privada"

Lookin like they're really starting to take off.

They are actually keeping pace with the DWC plants that were cloned at the same time
