I have given up on guessing I think after this round. I stunted them real bad as seedlings they had two leaves left between the pair in week one, and they went real real slow till the roots got big enough one day, and now they can't be stopped. So you never know! But with Mephisto beans, you gonna be a happy camper no matter what they do.
My double Grape is what I'm most excited for!!! But I'm just happy I have a variety this grow!!
 
some of my greatest hits of the past year:

It is likely, you should get an Accurate 8 soil probe to check IN pot pH, runnoffs don't work, they only get you close. In coco you want to run pH low like in hydro too. There are several things unique to coco that take little getting used to. Watering daily nutes for example. Soil additives with high CEC values can throw off the pH pretty quickly with some fancy soil chemistry. The forms of phosphorous especially, can change to plant unavailable forms if you add vermiculite for example. Vermiculite will attract all kinds of salts and throw off negative ions, or get bound up by sodium ions.
I never did a lot of research into coco growing. Just kind of converted to coco unintentionally. So far, over the last 2 grows it’s worked out well. Just wondering about the watering. I’ve only been watering 2x a week. 1 heavy feeding & 1 smaller feeding. But I use 5 gal fabric pots, with a good amount of perlite for even more added oxygen to the roots. I have a 7 quart oil pan under each pot that acts as an external reservoir. In the heavy feeding I top water the pots until the external reservoir is filled. Fabric & coco slowly wic up water, but at the same time the coco, perlite, fabric pot combo still has enough breath-ability to supply roots with needed oxygen. The light feeding is just enough to re wet the coco to hold them over until the next heavy feed.

So the question really is do y’all thing I would have better results if I only light fed them multiple times a week?
 
Ever open a jar, reach in, and think "o shit, the bud is spongy soft and moist"?

The Durban I bought in the summer smelled as good as it should, so I vaped a half bowl to taste. It was good.
I got a lot of :hookah: from that little bit and I am high as Fluck.

I just remembered that :doh:the same thing happened last time I opened the jar a few months ago.
I dried it out for a half a day, and yes I was ! ! ! ! ... then, too.
If I write it down like I just did, maybe I will remember next time:crying:.

I am not really sure, I've not used coco. I do use fabric pots though, and I have good luck with tomatoes and peppers letting them wick up water like that as a primary source. This year I may try hooking up a rain barrel to a gutter with a float valve, and sit the fabric pots on the gutter.

@Unique I’d love to see what you think?
