Hi Everyone
This is my second grow. I love growing in Coco and cant imagine growing any other way. I hope that some members of this site can learn from this grow, as I would like to be able to pass on the knowledge that members here gave me so freely, and from what I read on this great site. Of course if things go awry I know this is the place to get me back on track.
Strain: Caramelicious
Indica/Sativa: This indica/sativa hybrid is crossed back and selected on her sweet taste and great yield.
Grow Medium: Coco (ftw!) re-used from previous grow and Perlite for the bottom, which I havent tried before but I was a little short of Coco
Lighting: 400W Metal Halide for Veg, 400W High Pressure Sodium for Flower
Cooling etc: 150mm Cool Tube, 150mm Ducting, 150mm Centrifugal Fan, Aluminium Carbon Filter, Oscillating 20cm fan for air ciculation
Nutrients: Canna Coco
Environment: Grow tent, Mylar lined
This is an image from my first grow, but this is how I germinate my seeds. Placed in room temperature water in the hot water closet for about 2 days until it germinates and the root is about half an inch long.
Once they have germinated I have gone straight into small pots full of, yes, Coco! To be honest I couldn't find my expanding seed germination thingies so I just plonked them (gently) into straight Coco. Once they were about 1.5 inches high I gave them their first dose of half strength nutes, which they loved. I just kept the Coco a bit damp during this period and they were placed 2 inches under 60W of fluorescent lighting.
After about 1-2 weeks in the little pots I needed to get them into my grow tent in their permanent homes. I had Coco from a previous grow, and I sieved it to remove all the old roots.
I placed about 1.5 inches of Perlite in the bottom of each pot.
Then the sieved Coco, packing it very gently.
Then I transplanted the babies, and gave them some water with half strength nutes to help them settle into their new home.
My setup is pictured below. It evolved a lot in my previous grow, but now it is exactly how I want it. These are obviously from my previous grow.
