Hello san. Thank you for your advice and imput. I sure need it lol. I will go a bit easier on the nutes. You probably can't see in the pic but the tips are getting a little dark and dry. I'm not using marijuana specific nutes,what I'm using probably has too much potassium. its temporary until i find some suggestions.

I'm using just coco coir. I'm wondering if i should have added perlite or something else. I guess its too late to do so lol. Maybe for my next grow,Renee i am also a coco grower. I only give 1/8 strength roughly of nutes...i use GoBox nutrients from General Organics. Like the rest of the guys and gals up top said...just go easy on the nutes. Ive had two feedings in 4 weeks. Only because about half way down the grow medium i added top shelf fertilizer and that holds moisture well. Autos tend to get funky coloration on their leaves from the nutrients and as a coco grower all you need to do is within a couple days of noticing any spots or burns, run water without nutes through your medium. That will help your root base feed at a different rate. They wont be soaking up a concentrated amount of nutrients at once. But dont stress...my first grow with autos i worried about each and every thing that i noticed on the plants lol so just dont let it get passed nitro burn marks which is just the tips starting to turn yellow and then it works its way up leaves, burning a path towards the stems...thats what to watch out for. Just dilute your feed mix and always under feed if you anything. Autos are tough but will take a beating if given to much to fast. But since your growing in coco youll have great runoff to check your ph balance. Im not really seeing anything on those guys you posted pics of that would be a threat. But could be missing something. With enough TLC they will be big and bushy in no time
Good luck my friend and feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions regarding the grow or with coco/peat moss.
Sorry for the book...lol happy smoking Renee!

A fella named trapper on our site here pointed me towards General Organics nutes. I started using them last grow and havnt left em lol ive amazing results from them. Its called the GoBox look on amazon i believe i payed $33 for it and it has a complete diagram for how much to use and when. Cant go wrong with it. There other good ones like FoxFarm and terragrow. But those guys have a high concentration in their bottles so youd need to cut the feed down. But they are great.

Here are my Great white shark and HBO blue dream. They were using General organics nutes. Got great height out of the blue dreams.

My medium is coco/peat moss/perlite/ and center of core mix is fertilizer. So you'll be okay with the coco. It will drain well hence not needing perlite. I only used perlite as well because i have soil so i don't have to feed as much. But youll be okay with your medium. Best thing any of us can tell yah is get through this grow and use what you learned from it towards your next grow. We all want an amazing first run but it doesn't usually happen. I pulled 10 zips of 6 plants my first run. But that was beginners luck lol i just have high humidity in my room so i chose to use mostly coco rather than soil so i wouldn't have to deal with mold build up in the soil.
I Nice!!!! I will look into getting those nutes thanks. Hopefully i will be able to grow that big. I have limited space right now so I'll just be happy with a healthy plant. I have never heard of heard of great white shark before. They look awesome.

Great whites have a sub tropical smell to them. Very fruity with some pine taste. Amazing vape strain. Start small and work your way up. I am now into a 4x8 tent with x4 400 watt leds
Thanks, lol. Just wanted to make sure i didn't mess up before i began. You are right. It is a learning experience and i will apply it to my next grow.
Nice, after i get the hang of it I will definitely try to go bigger.

Patience is one of the hardest things as a grower of anything lol we worry and 9/10 we just stress ourselves out. Lol its good to be on top of things but don't do to much and changed the environment to much otherwise we end up hurting them.
