GMO aka Chem Cookies In Coco 2021

[Phaaaze]

Intro:
So I took a break from posting and social media in general for a while, But I've been lurking on the forum for a couple months. So I decided to go ahead and make a grow journal!

Need to know info:
I'll be running two strains in a 4x12 space under 3 1000w MH/HPS grown in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite blend. There will be 6 per light in 7 gallon pots. I know it might be overkill but I don't like the 3 gallon pots and 5s don't seem too much bigger.

Strain(s): Gmo aka Chem Cookies / Grease Monkey. Both sourced from a reputable clone seller. They both arrived in great condition with a freebie!

Nutrients: I try to keep it simple as far as nutrients, I use FloraFlex Nutrients as a base PowerSI / PowerSI Bloom additives & BotaniCare CalMag as needed.

IPM/Pest Management: Lost Coast Plant Therapy and Athena IPM. Both work great and I haven't had a bug yet!(knock on wood)

I got these cuts a couple of months ago with intentions on running them in a 3x3 tent but as they got bigger I decided to cut clones & run half the room while the weather allows!

I had these ladies stuck in solo cups under a 400w MH since they came out of the dome January 7th because I took 50 clones thinking not all would make it. After narrowing it down to 18 with a few backups I moved them into 1Gal pots and topped 1x Jan 22nd and through them under 2000 MH/HPS combo until my other MH arrives!

The plan is it move them into 7 Gallon pots Feb 7th and let them fill in the trellis until Feb 21st and flip to flower!


Enough rambling I'll get you caught up on pictures! Any and all comments are welcome!

Day 4 of 12/12! Went to the local dispensary and found a seed in bag of TK Stardawg Haze, pretty excited to see if it germinates!

I love the MH. And your entire set up in general. I think you will be happy with the bigger grow bags. I usually flower 8 -10 per month in coco and I found anything under 7 is so much extra work trying to keep them wet. Constantly sucking bags dry. But I've seen big plants grown well in 1 gallon pots too
I enjoy watching others growing in coco and I'm excited to follow along watch you.

Hey @Phaaaze did that seed pop? Watch it doesn't turn out to be a boy.
How are your girls doing, everyone got their fuzzy hats. My led's get me by but nothing beats the buds I grew under hps/mh. But between the heat and hydro$$$ I gave in and switched. I run 4 rooms now and it just wouldn't be feasible without led. Great looking ladies my friend nice work

As of now no tail had popped so I don't think it'll make it for some reason I've had a terrible germ rate on seeds lately so next time I'm going to plant directly into the media! I'm going to head over to some of your threads and check out your rooms!

The end goal before the end of the year is to upgrade to 4 600-650ish LEDs it's just hard finding a balance between upfront cost and quality lights!

Day 10 of 12/12 Day 4 of Flower!

During the first week of 12/12 I still feed veg nutrients so I call it my transition week and start counting days until the first sign of pre-flowers.

My TK Stardawg Haze popped and is above ground in a rockwool cube. Figured out why my seed germination rate was so low! It was waaay too cold so after getting her in a warmer spot she started moving along!

Feeding per Gallon:
Lost Coast Plant Therapy - 10ML(Twice Weekly)
PowerSI Bloom - 1ML
FloraFlex B1 & B2 - 3.5 Grams
CalMag - 3ML(Once Weekly)


Enough gibberish let's get to the pictures for the week!

@Phaaaze Any updates??

 

[Phaaaze]

Sorry for the hiatus! But I'm still chugging along! I did a strip on day 21 I didn't grab many pictures last week but I'll post what I did!

 

[Phaaaze]

Now for this week! These ladies stretched a lot more then I was prepared for so I ended up super cropping later than I'd like to but they didn't seem to mind much!

Other than that things are moved along great no purpling stems I've been able to keep my humidity in check and they are stacking like crazy!

What happened to this lot?

 

[Phaaaze]

I finished with great results I just lost interest in this particular forum

 

[Phaaaze]

I took more videos than pictures so when I get the time I'll post a mashup video with harvest etc
