2nd Grow: Autos - Coco

Day 18
320ppm and started leaf tucking this morning! I will be going in every 2 or 3 hours to adjust.

 

[Angrytomato]

Made some butter last night aswel! I only had 500g of ghee butter and I only wanted to use 20g of weed but I accidentally put 29g in lmao so I added 90g of lurpak light during the whisking. Ended up with about 15oz

Good morning @Angrytomato hope your having a good day my friend.
Butter looks good.
I won a magic butter maker, but can't find it since the fire.
It's probably in a box somewhere still.
Do you grind and decarb your buds first?
Just curious.

Stay safe

I break it up into small pieces but I don't actually grind it! Yes I decarb @240 give or take for 40 mins. I want a butter maker and a decard thing too but it can wait!

Day 19
340ppm and tomorrow will be the last day I use the B52! Leaf tips on one of the blues are starting to go the same way as the lime.
I want to ask too is it a good idea to cut the bottom stems off now? I'm gonna lollipop later obvs but just thought it might be worth getting rid of the bottom stems early.
Started LST today too! Bent the main stems over as much as I safely could, but not on the 1gallon! Still the only thing I wanna do to that is trim and lollipop.

Day 21
Yesterday was the last day using the b52.
Ppm set to 380 and ppfd around 450.
Lst looks to be going well and the problems with the leaves seems to have stopped spreading and even maybe clearing up! Hard to tell exactly but it's stopped spreading anyway.
I ended up trimming the bottom branches off of the 3* 5 gallons but not the 1 gallon! I'm only leaf tucking for that because the bottom branches are growing almost on par with the main cola. I am shocked with that tbh! So I have it resting in another same size pot so the water drains through! There's always about an inch of water that soaks down through the day even after emptying the initial feed that's drains! And the roots have found there way down there, constantly resting in water! Do you think that has made a semi dwc type thing and is why it's growing big so quick!

Hello @Angrytomato hope you are having a good day.
Ladies look happy.
if your roots are sitting in standing water that's not a good thing.
The ph and ppm of standing water goes off and effects her.
Any roots sticking out into water can be cut off.

Stay safe

Alright I'll cut them off! I've seen people use dwc without an air pump so I thought it might be a good thing lol.

Day 22
Ppm set to 400
LST going well and I cut the roots coming out the bottom of the small pot! Which turns out is a 3lt pot not a 1 gallon.

Hey @Angrytomato hope your having a good start to your weekend.
Ladies look happy my friend.
Your ppm is still at 400 they are starting to show signs of hunger.
I'd bump that up personally.
Also we have some droopyness, how are your temps and rh?
Do you oxygenate your feed water?
Keep up the good work.

Stay safe
Bill

 

[Angrytomato]

Temps about 25/26c! Never drop below 23c
Humidity is usually between 50 and 55% but does drop when I have the tent open! I'll up the ppm by 50 a day to get it to 500-600. And no I don't oxygenate my feed just gets left for a 12-24 before I use it! It will be by Monday tho.

 

[Angrytomato]

Day 25
Ppm at 600 now! I got an air pump and I'm just waiting on an air stone coming today for my res. Removed all the massive leaves today and did a full LST, bent and pinned all the main branches down to the sides but I accidentally broke the top node off of one lol hopefully it's early enough it won't cause too much problems.

Minor damage.
Just like topping her
Nice color everyone looks happy.
Nice work.

Day 26
So i got proper res going and I set the ppm to 650! But when I checked today it was over 850! Should I be readjusting back to 650? A lid has been on the bucket also so I don't think it's particles from the air!
They bushed up nice since I pinned them down yesterday and I think the 3lt has entered preflower but I'm not 100% sure! See pics.

Good morning @Angrytomato ladies look great this morning.
The res should drop not rise, did anything get in the res?

I don't think so! Like I said the lid has been on since I first mixed it! It was 686 including the 32 base when the lid went on, it was 857 when I checked this morning.

@Rexer Good morning Amigo.
Your more a dwc expert can you give us a hand here?
Why would the res increase like that?

Incase its of any importance! It's a brand new pump/line/stone. Stone was soaked for 5 hours! suggested time on the box was 1 hour, maybe some shit left in the airline?

'Morning Bill!

Expert? Oh no good sir, far from it but ill help as I can

But first. Maybe it's because I've yet to have my coffee, but....where's the DWC? Am I missing something here? I see coco pots with hydroton on top...

The chances of the rise in PPM from the airstone is low. I'd look to a different culprit.

If the OP has not been using a airstone in an actual DWC bucket (only water as the medium), I may have a guess.

There's the chance that there was sediment that built up on the side/bottom of the bucket, and the airstone kicked it up. Either that or improper nutrient mixing?

Be prepared to do a good flush, then refill with nutes. Come back a bit lower then the last bump in feed to get the plant feeding again.

I gave the bucket a good clean with a steaming hot shower before I did any mixing and I've already thrown that water out and mixed a new! I'm about ready to do a midway flush anyway so nows a good a time as any ig lol thanks bud
