Coco coir yield?

[Yummytrees]

This is my first grow in coco. I have a few other grows under my belt (waterfarm buckets and soil) so I think I have a pretty good idea of what Im doing. Pretty much im just wondering what others have yielded with coco and possibly a general idea of how much i could yield if I were to flower now. Would like to hear what pot size, lights, medium, height before flowering, training etc...

200+ views and no one can share their coco experience? Continued to lst her and defoliate her a bit to get more light to the lower branches. Ill post some pics of her soon.

After a week or 2, Im guna even her tops out and get that nice flat top

 

[Yummytrees]

Things have been looking good. Lots of new tops starting to shoot up. I kept lsting the top branches to let more of the bottoms catch up. Pics comin soon

Hey Yummytrees ,,, nice plant looks good. I can't give any info as I'm on my first coco experience but seems like there are a lot of experienced people here. Good luck an happy growin

Final yeild is determined by how long you veg. with that being said coco will yeild more than soil

Hello Sublime and Dusty! Good to hear from people.

Hows your Coco growing Sublime?

Im about to hit month 2 in veg on the 6th. Im about to flower after i take clones. Hopefully the 30th. Iv always started from seed so this will be a new experience. Im guna try to clone em in coco in 1g pots.

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

Id put the clones in a small pot to start with I use rockwool cubes after two weeks put in three inch pot after two weeks a one gallon pot. I have tried to go strait to a big pot with cuttings with dissasterous results.

My coco grow is going good for my first time, started from seed an only about 4 weeks in but lots of green growth. I also have a GH drip system which I've used afor 4 grows now(mostly clones) but have bug issues for first time. I think there called fungus mites,, not positive but they are turning my leaves white. Early harvest I guess.

Hey Dusty,, I'm curious what problems u had when putting a cutting from cloner to a big pot,, let's say 3 gal.? An I was wondering if a 3 gal. Pot is big enough for a coco grow?

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

in order to build a strong root system you gotta have oxygen. So the soil or coco has gotta dry a little big pots and small roots dont mix . It would take four of five weeks to build a root system in that big a pot. I did this my first time to clone put in six and only had one to flower because the others got water loged and just couldnt grow roots they were one gal pots.

 

[A1cronick]

just started my 1st grow similar to yours but also different im only a few days in and im reading the posts and i just put all my seedlings in
5gal air-pots really 3.7gal five pots with the biggest seedlings 2/3coco 1/3 perlite
2gal air-pots really 1.3 gal five pots with the smaller seedlings
man i hope i didint just make a noob move and screw up my plants roots by putting them in too big of pots

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

If you just did this you can drop em in smaller pots or watch you watering if you repot be carfull and a b vvitamin would help with stress

Took some clones today. 9 of em. 3 each of- rainbow, cheese, pineapple chunk. Put them in my 2x2 in lil plastic cups under a 2bulb t5. 16/8
I also misted them after placing them in. Cut at a 45 degree angle and used clonex. This is my first time cloning. Tips appriciated. Hopfully things kick off in a week or 2.

 

[Yummytrees]

I have no idea how often i should water coco for clones. Im guna try keeping them moist until i start seeing growth then drying them out a bit between waterings to stretch their roots.

From personal experience its easier to start your girls up from smaller pots than larger, but i have started seedlings in 3gal pots before and they were fine. Rainbow started from seed, planted in a root riot, then after sprout into 3gal. Bigger pots just mean less watering for you in the beginning. But i do water everyday now because shes starting to really fill in.

Keep wet the first week so the stems dont dry at all then slowly let em dry through second week and you should have roots depending on temps and humity it could take longer. A humity dome and spay clones with water daily 14 days you will have new plants.
