Tkmk's Cookies Grow

[Tkmk]

I have not been on this thread in about a year but now im back. Had to stop growing for awhile due to not having my environment in check and waiting to get everything in check.

About my setup:
Vivosun4x4 grow tent, 640w led strip light, using 4 3g netted pots and buckets from the bucket company, using mothers earth coco/ perlite, and mills nutrients.

I have 2 girlscout cookies by don avalanche (thanks to @killsbeezseeds) and 2 skywalka cookies from big heads seeds.
Started germinating on 11/22/21
All sprouted on 11/25/21

Any questions or comments please feel free to post.

Heres some pics of the girls now

Just in time to hop on board I see That looks like a really nice setup in terms of pots, looking forward to see those ladies explode in there

Edit: Not sure how comfortable you are with defoliation, but I would remove some of those largest fanleaves if you cant tuck them in a way that exposes the below branches better. LED's dont penetrate a lot, you want the big fanleaves out of the way of your budsites, and the plant really doesnt mind you removing them, as long as you dont go agent orange on them.

I dred that part as well .. think of it this way .. its likely the only record you are keeping of these ladies, so might as well make some regular updates to keep track of where she is in her journey and 'remember' what you did last time. At least, that is how this works for me

Actually i keep a daily journal but i always like to hear others thoughts on my grow. Others feedback has made me grow a lot quicker then just trying to figure it out my self. Pun intended lol.

heya friend,,

nice to see a coco grow that is for sure not underwatered,, a rarity round here,, indeed

i know nothing about the pots but i think i see a bag in there, with the coco, in the pot

so,, i am curious why the bag is so low in the pot. seems the coco level could be higher,, which kinda makes the plant the plant look a little sunk in there

still gonna work, for sure,,

is it all auto watering etc?

Yeah i love growing with coco. Once i switch last year from soil its a world of difference.
The pots are from the bucket company and are amazing except i do wish the net pots inside were a tad bigger.
And how can people underwater in coco its just too easy to use. Water everyday till run off done.
I tried the automated route and it just frustrated me sooo much so i canned that and just hand water and to be honest i love hand watering gives me some one on one time with the girls lol.

Did some more lst and tucked the bigger fan leaves down. Definitely opened them up a lot. Really hoping the little runt takes off and catches up soon.

 

[Reave]

Nice looking setup you got here. I’m in!

 

[Tkmk]

Its been about 4 1/2 weeks since the girls sprouted and id say almost 2 1/2 weeks in veg. I am hoping for a 5 to 6 week veg on these girls and i think they are right on track for that.

And for anyone reading this thread. Out of the 2 pictures below which one would you consider as the start of veg

 

[PlanetJ]

Those are looking really nice. Personally, I'd go with the first for veg. I'm not the patient type

 

[Tkmk]

Any advise about how far from the pots i should put the scrog net?

Heres some pics as well.

Thanks Bill!!


Hey @Tkmk


Nice Bucket Company setup

Those the three gallons? @LandoC runs them in coco and scrogs as well. Does phenomenal, I'd highly recommend reading his journal.

I had my net 18 inches from my grow medium on my last scrog, Bucket Company setup, with their net. I'll see if I can find the measurement from the top of Bucket to screen that I used if you'd like.

Yes they are the 3g buckets and thank you

This grow is going good so far but definitely need to work out the feeding schedule a little better. Started off following mills schedule at medium feeding but feels like it a little too much n so i swithed to the lower feeding chart hope it works out better.

 

[Tkmk]

Finally got to do some lst to the smaller girl lol. I think after this im going to leave her alone till i put the net up and she reaches it and then ill start tucking her under as need be.

I was just thinking how quick time flies by. I thought i had not gron for a year before i sttarted this grow but ended up looking back at an old journal and it was only 4 months. Crazy lol.

Oh and cooper wanted to hi to every one.

 

[Tkmk]

The girls are at 3 weeks into veg as of yesterday and im hoping only another 2-3 weeks till i flip to flower

One of the gsc is getting some tip burn any advise would be appreciated.
