Grow Mediums Hail the Coco!

[Darthweeder]

I'm in my first Coco coir grow and GOD, it's beautiful!
I've never had this easy or (in my eyes) well growing and looking plants.
I love Coco!
And, if I'm not wrong, the stretch/growth spurt hasn't started yet right?

11 l airpot
Dutch passion Think Different
Day 27
1-2 autocobs (still unsure if the plant can handle both)
Flora nova bloom (1 bottle nutrients, love it!)
(following Coco for cannabis)

I've been thrilled with coco as well, but I definitely ran into some watering/nutrient issues on one of my plants. That said, the growth has been ridiculous compared to soil for me. Looking at day to day comparisons against my first grow in soil, it's night and day. I'm just waiting for my girls to flip now, and I need it to happen because of them is turning into a mutant monster.

Day 60!
Had what I think is nutrient issues for a week or so.
The leafs were getting yellow spots, this was during the growth spurt.
Didn't know what it could be until it hit me that I probably needed to up the floranova bloom.
Was using 1.5ml/liter and increased it (little every watering) to 2.5ml/l.
And no new yellowing since then

Have topped it and removed some leafs, was getting a little nervous about moisture between leafs.
And as far as I understand the leafs at the bottom is a waste anyway as they ain't getting light.
Didn't remove all of them as I've also read you should keep some for the plant to "feed from".

Hey @Darthweeder, great looking grow!
I've been on soil my last two grows and I'm looking to switch to mother earth coco + perlite this coming grow.
I also went the Floranova route and bought their grow and bloom. How did you like those nutes?
I'm planning on hand watering.

Hi!
I loved them! Or IT as I've only used one trough out the whole grow.
I got whooping 150 gram of one plant. And my amateur arse never gotten more than 25-40ish grams per plant.
So I'm super happy!

Let me show you the roots.. I was planning to reuse the Coco... Well that ain't happening!

Wow thats a hefty yield! Cant wait to give it a go.
I haven’t been able to brake 84g’s.. and thats with 3 plants.
Did you buff your mother earth coco? It says ready to go out of the bag but wanted to hear some inputs on it.
is their a feed schedule you followed for the Floranova?

I didn't use Mother earth, so can't answer on that specific brand.
I used one called ugro Coco xl.
And yes, I buffered it 2 x 8 hours in calmag water, basically I followed the guides on "Cocoforcannabis".
I got both a ph pen and ec pen and followed the ec on Coco for cannabis site.
I topped at 5 weeks I think and did lst.
I got 6-8 tops like the one in this picture.
Was shocked! They usually fit my palm lol

That is a nice cola! Congrats!

you did great bro that's a great harvest I also never reuse coco and I just buy pre-bagged canna coco every run I prefer that bag and pot approach I also used to grow with what you do its the Lucas formula isn't it just floranova bloom and calmag

 

[Darthweeder]

Yeah, only floranova bloom and calmag. Sooo simple.
