First grow - how are they looking?

[hope2grow]

Oh, one more question - I am going to start feeding them tomorrow with a light feed of the General Hydroponics trio + CalMag to an EC of 400 using distilled water. Do you think this is a reasonable thing to do?

Ive subbed to your thread bro so I'll check in as u update and happy to advise where I can.. feeding now will be fine.. can't comment on your nutes as I've never used them and have never measured ppm/EC/pH so can't comment there at all.. hopefully someone more scientific can jump in.. I use tap water left out for 24 hours and AN pH perfect base nutes which thankfully have always kept pH in check :smoking:

Half way through day 7 - fed them 80ml of distilled water again today. The Fat Bananas (top left, bottom left) seem to have slowed down a bit, but the Quick Ones are flying with their second set of leaves though. If you look closely you can see 4 tiny leaves appearing from them!

Tomorrow will be their first nute feed!

So a bit of advice needed: I am going to give the girls their first feed today but I was wondering about the amount of water I should be giving them?

Over the last 7 days I have been upping the water amount slightly from 50ml - 80/120ml, however this was pure distilled water so the EC isn't affected - I have also not had any runoff due to the small amounts.

However, when adding nutes I have read extensively and understand that this will raise the salinity of the coco, which could contribute towards nute burn/lockout - something I heavily want to avoid and especially so as they are young and delicate. Should I still be upping the amount to say 200ml, or would this be the point where I should feed with a large amount of nute solution (using distilled water + GH trio and CalMag) where I get 10-20% runoff?

@Smoking Frog or anyone else able to lend a piece of advice here? :smoking:

I'm a pure soil man matey.. no idea when it comes to Coco unfortunately!! I'm sure someone will jump in and advise.

So I ended up giving the girls ~450ml of 410 EC feed. Let's see how they go!

Half way through day 8! Fat Bananas seem to have slowed down a bit, but the Quick Ones are living up to their name and are flying again!

Half way through day 10! Ladies are still popping fast :smoking:

Fed them ~250ml of EC 400 today. Made a bad judgement call in forgetting to check the pH of the nute solution first - came out at 6.7 so hoping they will be ok tomorrow!

Top right Quick One is looking a tiny bit mutated I believe with the new node attaching to the old leaf, but let's see how that goes!

Half way through day 11 - how are they looking @hope2grow. Are they on par for what their growth should be at this stage?

Fed them 300ml of EC 480 solution today - pHed to 5.88!
