i think 5 gal is great. Ill probably do my next coco grow with some 5s depending on space.I would like to try different things. Different pot size. more transplants. etc etc.If the auto starts to fill up the solo cup with roots it will flower from what i understand also no need to transplant that many times. Ive gone from solo to 5gal no problem. Your gonna have some monsters in 5gals of coco.
Hey,
so first about thinning out the leaves on the LST...you can or not, the plant will take advantage of the open canopy and start sending more shoots from the nodes those leaves are at. Probably leave them for now or tuck them, etc.
For the autos, I learned the fun way about that..."oh, I'll just leave them in this solo cup of perlite for a few weeks and then move them to a bigger...oh, hi flowers :/"
(see pic)
So I did some cleanup on one of the plants. I will probably do the same on the other. What do you think of this ? How do you think she will react ?
You should invest in a lux meter to be able to lower the lights and give them good 70000 lux (see my thread for more info)You are welcome to join ! I will check your journal.
Now I did clean up the 2 plants.
They all look so good! Congrats!Hey hope u dont mind me popping up. I am growing in cocoa aswell, i have some clones a couple of days into flower which are HUGE! But have 3 smaller ones from seeds under LEDs as you do yourself. Here they are...
I seen you concerned about over watering, i wouldnt be when cocoa is your medium. Making sure your feed (ec/ppm) is the right level for what the plants are liking but you can not over water in cocoa from what ive learnt and been told. I am watering my smaller ones 3 times a day at about 200-300ml each time! And they look great imo. I have a journal ongoing as well i will put the link in for anyone wanting a small read.
Peace
