Indoor Teetee's 2020 Chrissy Crop

Day 73 for the Dinafem 'Cookies'....


As always with Dinafem gear, covered in sticky trichomes....






So the next day (day 74) I took her out of the tent for a final photoshoot....


Fron another side, you can see just how full of bud she is!


And from above, a good spread.....


She was easy to grow, very happy on a low EC (like 0.7, which is what I usually start off giving), but if I hadn't of pushed her up to 0.9 too early, maybe she would have taken a stronger feed in the end.

Anyway, here's a last look at that main cola....


There's gonna be plenty of scissor hash when I get chopping!


... and the trimmed leaves are gonna get bagged up and put in the freezer for when I make some Canna Coconut Oil....


She's been hanging up in boxes for nearly 2 weeks, so tonight I'll probably be jarring her up.... I'll let you know how much she produced!

amazing work looks great can i ask you about your watering how often do you water do you feed nutes every watering also how much run off do you get and when do you start the runoff sorry for all the questions

Thanks TF. With Coco, you have to feed nutes every day, plain water will wash out the buffers etc.
It's not like soil, better to think of it as a DWC but instead of an air pump and some airstones, we use Coco to trap air in the rootzone.
The more you water, the more you replenish what the plant has used, and the more air you get into the rootzone...... some Coco growers feed 5-6 x a day in bloom!!!

Airpots dry out quickly, so I have to water by hand every day from about day 14, but I can only manage once a day.

With run off, I just wait till the saucer's about to flood and then I get the aquavac into action. I syringe off and measure the first 250ml for EC, but I must get a good couple of litres run off per 5-6L feed.
For 4 plants in 23L airpots, I find I'm lugging 2x 20L buckets of water in for feeding, and taking out 10-15L of run off out every night.

I start getting run off once the plants leaves are a wide as the pot diameter.... the roots will be about the same width, so they'll need a good drenching ! Sometime around the 14 day mark.

Hot on the heels of the Cookies crop, Cream Mandarine - ready to chop on day 77.

At first glance, not a pretty Girl by any stretch of the imagination...


From above, she looks even worse, but look how many solid colas she's got there....


Just the canopy in different light, but if you blur out the brown leaves, it's all fairly green underneath.


Close up of the main cola, and you can see sticky buds...


... here's the other side....


Further down the cola, the buds continue being solid and resinous...


Remember, blur out the brown and she don't look too bad!


The scissor hash was lovely... really nice taste and I'm hoping the cured bud will be delicious!


I got a good amount off her in the end, I have 55 stems hanging in cardboard boxes, and they'll be ready to jar in about a week.

thanks for the detailed answer i use coco myself still trying to dial it all in bit hit and miss so far i water every second day with around 2-3 liters with around 20% run off in 10L pots my nute company actually says to give a plain water feed every 2nd or 3rd watering in coco

That might be so they can justify selling their pH balancer?
With Coco, generally if you use anything below EC 0.6 you risk washing out the pH buffers, plus you'll lose trichoderma etc.
In the end you'll get pH issues. I would only use a plain water flush in emergencies and make sure it's pH 'd correctly.

Day 83 and the grow continues. Just Blue Amnesia and Night Queen left.

The Blue Amnesia is a big girl, so having more space with the other two down is perfect timing....


From above you can see she has a lot to offer....


Up close she's looking great....


... every cola's filling out nicely.....


... and it looks like she's just about done....


Night Queen on the other hand is still playing up. She is also HUGE,,,,,


.... with a massive amount of flowering tips.....


... but the buds are strange looking.... I thought they were purplish pistils at first, but close up they are discoloured leaf tips...


There's plenty of frost, but not a huge amount of pistil action....


I anticipate her going past 100 days, so last week I gave her PK 13/14 again and hope she perks up before I chop her down.

So there you have it.... a lot of posts today, but you're up to date and I'm grateful for you to have read all this blurb!

You do a great job! I had a few ?'s.

Looks like no training or defoliation? You seem to get great results just letting them do their thing.

Appologies if I missed it in an earlier thread, but what are you using for your lighting?

Thanks!
