New Grower FF Coco Loco with 13 FF Nutes 1st Grow

[Grizzle505]

New guy here. I'm using stuff for better or worse. We'll see how it all ends up. For now I've got healthy and happy plants. I'll post some pictures below.

Hear's some gear and all that whatnot. 4X4X78" tent, 6" exhaust fan with 6" filter, 4" intake and filter, multiple oscillating fans, humidifier (when needed based on VPD), 5 gallon fabric pots.

That's pretty much it.

I'm using CoCo Loco right out of the bag. I've also got all 13 nutrients that I use with their Soil Nutrients Feeding Schedule and some CalMag to boot. I do use RO water at base 005 ppt and Blue Guardian Monitor to regulate PPM700, EC, Temp, and PH.

I'm about 7 weeks in and really haven't been having many issues of late. It's a process and I'm still learning. I'm ready to get this done and I'm going to ask for advise for these later stages.

My Amnesia Haze is on the back left, at 55 days from sprout, Blueberry on right rear 56 days from sprout, and Northern Lights at the front is 49 days from sprout.

I was having some issues with equipment and knowledge from the get go and probably stunted them all for a week or more. At least that's what I feel, but that's then, and this is now.

I'll try and attach some pics of my ladies.

Nice healthy plants. I use Coco Loco as well. For several years. What is your ph? How often are you watering?

utilizing Soil Feeding Schedule(not going to link it), here's my feeding as of 9/8/19.

Blueberry and Northern Lights:

Week 6 schedule at only 6.1 Ph.
2 Gallons RO water and extra 1/4 RO water per gallon to reduce PPM 700
10ML Calmag
30ML BigBloom
20 ML GrowBig
20 ML TigerBloom
10ML Bomerang
10 ML Kangaroots
5ML Kelp me Kelp U
2.5 ML OpenSasame

Soil PH and water before feed: BB 6.8 water 2.7 (accurate 8 soil/water tool) NL 6.8 and 2.7

PH feeding solution: 6.1, ec 2.9, ppm700 2050, temp 69

Amnesia Haze

Week 7 Schedule at 6.1 PH

1 gallon RO water (005 ppm) and 1/3 gallon RO water extra (to reduce PPM to appropriate level)

5 ML calmag
15 ML bigbloom
10 ML growbig
10 ML tigerbloom
5 ML boomerang
2.5 ML microbrew
2.5 ML kelp me kelp u
1.25 beastie bloomz

every 3 days in 5 gallon pots as of now

I let em dry out as much as I do. It's not enough imo but watching the leaves and general condition of them, 3 days is about as long as I've been going before watering. And, that's fine by me. 5 gallon pots and at least a gallon feed/water usually gives me about a 10% runoff. I like them fully watered to prevent any dry spots in the container

 

[Grizzle505]

Temp 77, RH 58, No humidifer for now. May use one if temps rise and RH lowers as roots take up water in the next day or so. I try to keep VPD in midflower at this stage of the grow and have a dehumidfier available when needed.

'Probably" wednesday night I'll be feeding again. If they get too dry, I'll foliar spray with Flower's Kiss at the 1/2 gallon level Tuesday but only if they're really thirsty.

The plan is this:

Week 7 for all. 2.5 gallons RO water for base at 005 PPM at 2.5 gallons water. I'll probaly have to add RO water to drop the PPM 700 to 2100 maximum with about 1/2 gallons RO to achieve proper PPM700 level

12.5 ML Calmag
37.5 ML Bigbloom
25 ML GrowBig
25 ML TigerBloom
12.5 ML Boomerang
6.25 ML MicroBrew
6.25 ML Kelp me/kelp U
3.75 ML Beastie Bloomz

We'll see how it works out, but, for now, it's a 3 day feeding event. Between now and then, I'll lift pots to see if they're too light, and, if so, I'll probe them to determine the amount of water is really there using Accurate 8 water
probe if they're too light. I just can't judge that just by lifting at this point. Sort've elusive to me still. And, I don't really totally trust the Accurate 8 probe either, but, I do multiple readings at times if I'm just not sure how 'accurate' it's being.

@BigSm0 Guess them Cobs in the middle. I'm quite happy with the lighting you all provide. It's impressive.
