unknown Indoor mix Cfl Coco grow

[ltkipras]

So I have started a grow about 20 days ago I had 2 plants they looked real good for the first week but one of them died, tho it looked real healthy the days before, and the other one doesn't look very good probably because of ph problems it was stupid of me to cut back on ph, so I took 4 of my Indoor mix seeds and started germinating them, gonna get a ph test kit soon, and hopefully this time I get things right. Originally I wanted to grow Critical haze, but since I failed I'm gonna first learn to grow with other genes I have.
Gonna update when the first seeds germinate
Peace

what kind/brand of coco are you running?

it looks pretty wet .......... not the best thing to do with seedlings. loving the girls to much is one of the biggest problems when they are tiny! ........IMHO of course


good luck!

yeah I gave the CH time to dry out but it just got worse, I don't know the brand it was jus a small brick for a couple of bucks I'm gonna check the packaging
I just read that it's hard to overwater coco so I cared more about underwatering

An experiment!

An experiment!

So as you know my CH plant didn'go very well so I cut the top part of it and stuck it into coco, so has anyone tried to clone a seedling, I know its possible, it would be a miracle for me cause I really want to have some sativa dominant plants, but don't want to start more CH seeds until I know what I'm doing

So the first seed popped open

but still lil small to pot, any advice about preparing the coco or is flushing well before potting enough.
And finally am getting the ph test kit. maybe this time i get things right

 

[ltkipras]

So I finally go a ph test kit, prepared 5 gallons of nutrient solution ph about 5.5 to 6.0 full stength gonna mix with water when watering for the first weeks

 

[ltkipras]

They all popped out of the coco on NOV 31 and I switched to 12/12 on NOV 29th given the thought of small space and small pots, gonna try to reveg after harvest here are the pics from the

Looks like the new ones are coming along nicely. Other one may have been over watered.

They first ones also, looked great for the first days, but I Guess I'll try feeding them less often until they fell a lil lighter usually, cause I guess I watered when not needed. Do you think schultz nutes of 10-60-10 woud be good for a 12/12 from seed, I know I should be using hydro nutes, but I will only use nutes that are readily available for the plant. Update with pics tomorrow.

 

[ltkipras]

All of them are looking beautiful

I hope they don't turn out like this

Please help with this it hasn't grown for a long time I kept watering it with ph'd nutes, should I maybe flush it well with ph'd water?

Had to cut the power of my grow box cause my parents were about to go to the attic, but couldn't turn it back on without making paren ts suspicious, It would be fine cause my lights switch off during night, but its bellow zero in my attic so, I checked on it in the morning it said 6C in the box, but overall the're looking fine.

God how hard it is to get some quality bud here where I live, dealers are difficult to get in touch with, you usually have to as a friend who will ask a friend, and wualla instead of 1/8th you get a 1/16th which is probably half mixed up with some shwag, the best option is hash, but I heard they mix it 9parts hash with 1 part cow shit , so to grow your own is the best way

LOL dude i feel bad for you... wherever you are.


So your done growing out those seedlings? If your keeping them going, let them go a minimum of 2 days before watering again. should be more like 4 or 5 days when they are that small.

I've been through this, thinking coco was impossible to overwater so you just flood it.
The best advice i can give you is dont believe everything you read. Much better to learn through experience

Thank's man yeah the're still there, yeah I think I learned my lesson here, now I usually water every 2-3 days, probably when they're bigger you can water them more often, My plan is to grow these out and after harvest to reveg the best ones. than maybe I'll start an SOG for which I was planning on in the first place

 

[soursmoker]

sounds like a similar plan to mine, make sure you leave enough vegetation for the reveg and be prepared to wait a while possibly

 

[ltkipras]

Yeah I gave that a thought, only problem that I have is nutrients, will soil nutes work in coco, I'll still see cause yesterday when I checked the ph of my nutrients was 6.5-7 gonna correct it to 5.5-6.0, and gonna need to flush the coco with water of 5.0 cause probably it is also imbalanced.

 

[ltkipras]

And any ideas of warming up my nutrients solution cause it is turning into ice in my attic

 

[greenmatter]

your nutes are freezing ?????? how are you keeping the plants warm when the lights are off?

just like it is easy to over water when they are little it is easy to over fertilize. they don't need food with every watering when they are small and/or the nutes DON'T need to be full strength.

coco nutes and soil nutes are not exactly the same. i've read that coco is high in K on it's own so the Ca and Mag levels are higher in the coco formulas to balance it out. i don't think that means soil nutes won't work ......... you just have to be aware that they are not "dialed" for coco.

i would not go running to the grow store yet! ........... read some stickies and ask some of the coco headies some questions. the good thing about IC is that nobody is trying to sell you anything

good luck!
