Thanks for tagging me in @Bailey ,my pleasure to help another coco grower!!! @marywanther ,unless I missed it what light are you using ? Bailey has ya pretty squared away inthe initial watering amounts,if ya don't have one get a ppm meter as you need to adjust the feedings upward as they grow and keep track of PH also,two very important numbers when working in any media and with any nutes,.What I do is pre charge my coco with a light feed using cal mag,silica,orca,and I see you have the three part GH,good stuff I use that too( on occasion) anyway I charge to around 300-400 ppm,and keep the feed at this level till they get a little size to em( maybe 10-15 days)work your way up from there...I am also available anytime you need anything get ahold of me,,good Karma to you and your grow !!!

Okay caught up, and subbed in... Here are a few thing to just keep in ind at all times. Sorry for the questions... I blame it on the Affie! haha. First off...

hardest part for a first time grow patience

This is about the most important thing, patience. With many aspects, more time is needed.

Rule #2: K.I.S.S. Keep in simple silly. With a lot of new growers, myself included. We get excited, and thats great, but kinda goes against the "stay patient" rule. My first grow I topped, supercropped, FiM'd,over watered, under feed, went inside, outside, and if I thought it looked cool on the forums, I tried it. Everything in that last sentence was a mistake for my first grow, and my harvest suffered badly. First learn the aspect of growing, and running an indoor environment. The different training methods can come in time, and when you can start to read the plants. Try to focus on just getting comfortable with the basics first.

With watering. This is in my opinion the most common issues with new growers. It happens to the best, and if it does, LEARN from it. However, lets try and avoid that in the first place. With your seedling, it is important to have a nice moisture level with out soaking the medium. Seedlings of any plant will do what know as "dampening off" if the medium is to wet, and it has a 99% death rate in my experience. I use a living soil, so my measurement of liquid will vary from coco, but I just use a spray bottle on the seedlings for the first week, sometimes longer if they are still tiny. @Bailey and @budelee (and other) can help more on the actual feed measurements.

Air circulations is >>VITAL<<! I didn't see a fan in you pics, is there one in the tent? Are you using any kind of extraction fan? Do you have a carbon filter? If not I will go in to detail, but for now a circulation, and extraction/exhaust fan are very important, especially to get rid of a hps lights heat.

So far what have the temps, and humidity levels been at?

We like the social aspects here too... So do you have any pets? I have a rabbit and my wife has a cat, their both beast! The cat fights 40lbs dogs, and normally is the one walking away.. But... My rabbit scares the crap out of my wifes cat. Tickles the shit out of me every time. His name is Chief Thurgood Carbonfoot of the Clan Coldpoop, direct desendant of Thurgood Jenkins. Although he answers to Carbon Foot for friends and family.

Chat with you later!

Whats up @marywanther . Youve got excellent guidance from brother bailey. Hes on top of things! About the watering, about 500ml every 3 days is about enough at first, maybe even 4 days... i like to get a headstart and add a small dose root stimulator starting around day 6-7 but waiting a few days is the safer way to go if youre unsure. Hang on... ill get u going with a slap. Best of luck!

Thanks bro for welcoming him and great advice every 3-4 days and just circle around plant branching out getting further as the plant gets bigger

Great info bro I really appreciate it and marywanther has everything from fans to ph meter I have been talking Iver pm with him for sometime and before he started he asked me what he'd need and I let him know and he purchased the lot he's never grown before so is a total noob and appreciate your input

Ahhh @Bailey your to nice bud. We all have something to bring to the table, and I actually might need your help here soon. I might be going full coco for the autopots, and that is a subject new to me. My soil mix is only around 15% coco. I went and got another 5kg brick today though, I loved it when I remade my soil. The current idea is to just run 4 autopots in the 4x4 tent, and just beast them the hell out. It's going to take some getting used to though... I'm used to having a lot of strain going at one time... So only 4 is going to give me eye twitches, lol.

 

[Fuggzy]

@Bailey Not to mention you already save me lots of time with the ventilation explanation, although I'll do a run down anytime! I should just write a small guide on that so I can just give the link out.
