Hello everyone here goes my first journal.
Strain- Super Silver Haze femenized from seed, got them from 420, great service from them by the way.
Medium/pot size- This time i used the big Sun leaves coco coir block mixed with about 20% perlite. currently have them in 5 liter pots, i have heard that small pots are better for coco and multiple feedings a day. so may only go up to a 8 or MAYBE 10 liter you guys tell me what you think.
Light- T8 bulbs for seedlings, 600watt dimmable MH for veg, 600 watt HPS for flower Plus mars hydro 120x5 led panel.
Temp/humidity- veg side stays around 80 when lights on with 55-65% humidity, temps sometimes drop to 65 when lights are off, Flower side temp stays at 76 lights on with 35% humidity when lights off temp can go down to 65 with 50% humidity.
Nutrients- CNS17 Grow, Bloom, Ripe, my hydro store didnt carry the coco specific cns17, so i have the ones for all mediums, also calmag, silica blast, and superthrive.
Veg time- just started with this coco but i plan on doing two month veg from seed cause that will keep my prepetual harvest easier to manage if flowering time is roughly two months as well.
Pest- months ago i encountered white flys, i took action and havent had any of those around to my knolegde, every now and then i see a fungus knat, but that was with my soil, ive heard coco is suppose to be better about pest.
Well to start off my Super Silver Haze (SSH) is now about a month old from the day i put the seed into the rapid rooter plug. took about 3 days for 5 out of 6 to come up. after a couple roots were showing i put them in ffof soil in 18ounce solo cups. this was before i planned on running coco coir.
about 2 weeks later i gentally worked the soil out of the roots and transplanted into 5 liter pots of coco coir. also the heat mat is there for when i have my dome in there for seedlings, the monster can cap is there to prop dome off the mat a lil, lol i need to clean it up a bit i know!
Now ten days later they have recovered nicely IMO. i also have now been feeding with 12ml of grow, 5ml of calmag, just now started using silica blast at 1ml a gallon, and also a slight bit of super thrive. two of the plants have shown a slight deficiency and they all look kinda light, thats why i have been giving 5ml of calmag and was feeding with 10ml of grow, but changed it to 12ml two days ago. mabe i need to go full strength at 18ml a gallon now? heres some pics
i know its just the first set of leaves but its moving up to the next sets tips. pH has been AT 5.8 and once at 6 just to switch it up a lil to see if that was the problem. my drip system is also not running yet as i still need my waste res. i have been hand watering once a day. will have the drip system going soon. and a question about run off with coco, i know everyone says 15/20% run off every watering but would it be possible to tune down the run off a bit to maybe 5% every watering with the pump running for one minute, then once a week or every few days have my timer make the pump kick on for 3 minutes maybe to flush them out a bit? my goal is to make waste as low as possible also to make my res last at least 4 or 5 days for vacationing, if this would be to big a deal i could just up my res size. but the savings on less water would be nice, but not if it will hurt my plants. ive also heard wonderful things about House Of Garden Drip Clean, so i picked up a liter of that to use. thanks to all and i am very happy to be sharing my first coco grow with you all, also happy to have everyones support. im gunna throw some pics of my recent plants and current plants in soil just so you all can see some of my previous work.
