Keep up the good work cult! I definitely wouldn't have had the success without your guide and support. I'm grateful for time and effort you put into these journals, particularly the sharing of your knowledge and experience. I don't think theres to many questions to ask of you if people were to...

Temps has dropped, it's around 20 degrees in the tent at the moment, which I'll try to increase a little. Im following your schedule, which I'm not having to deviate to much with the strain I'm growing, plants are looking good.

Hey cult, Do you find when you initiate flowering that you reduce the amount of water you give the plants. I was giving 3ltrs a day in 20ltr fabric pots up until switching to 12/12, now I'm giving 2ltrs and the pots are still very wet. I've also experienced this on previous grows. Is this...

Nice update cult! Interested in what you'll journal next.

Don't cut off water, plants grown in coco require feeding every day. What light you using? How far from the plants is it? It could be light/heat stress.

So you feed the hand fed plants twice a day? What are they taking roughly on each feed then? Looking great by way!.

I think that's where I went of course on my current grow, I got quite alot of popcorn buds. Did you not do any training n these?

I understand it's a guide and the need to tweak things. I just want to get a understanding of 'why' and 'how'.

I see your EC values are higher than your feed schedule, is this because it's a flood and drain system? Also, have you dropped super vit from your schedule?

My grow partner checked the humidity which is at 37%, he's now going to put an additional fan in place with some sponges. Hopefully this will raise humidity to around 50%. Thanks again for your help

I'll try your suggestions to raise the humidity. Do think it's worth getting a humidifier? Even though I'm extracting air. Thanks

I've raised the light as you suggested as it seems closer than those of others on 420. As you mention it, it could be low humidity as I've been struggling to keep it above 40%. Not sure how I can overcome this as I an exhaust to draw fresh air through. So it seems it could be a combination of...

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it. Strain - cheese # of Plants - 8 Grow Type - Coco Grow Stage - 5th-6th week Bucket Size - 20 ltr Lights - (2) 600 Watt HPS Nutrients - ionic bloom, Buddha's tree PK 9-18 and meta boost Medium - Coco EC - 1.6 PH - 5.8 - 6.0 RH - 40% to 50% Room...

The issue I have is only on the cheese strain, the incredible bulk are looking good. The buds are tight and solid and filling out. I've now made my mix of base nute 1.6ec and bumped up to 1.8ec with PK. I'll monitor them over the next few days and see how it goes. Thanks cult, I understand...

I've done just that, going to monitor them over the next few days. They're on week 6 so not too long to go. Hopefully cult can chime in and give us his opinion. Thanks Dan, good wishes
