[Camden]

So I should just go ahead n take it out ya? Don't think I'm gonna get a big cola on this puppy

 

[NuttyProfessor]

Never say die

@Cultivator i have been reading some stuff saying that organic nutes in coco does not work well. The Dutch nutrients line i am using is organic. I am considering switching to AN micro, grow, bloom based on your feeding schedule, obviously it means the nearly $200.00 on the nutes I have may go to waste, but if they aren't really working anyway ill just do it. Opinon?

i make an organic super soil with coco base , its on my journal , check about three pages back from the end , i added today but i added a few posts so it got put back a bit .
my journal is below on my sig , its cheap as hell to grow once you get going pennies in the end

I was just reading this in the journal, thats a lot of ingredients, I only have coco and perlite lol! I dont know if it makes more sense to buy all the items in your list or simply change nutes and maybe save the organic ones for a soil grow sometime? Do you still feed it using a hydroponic feeding schedule or does it change the schedule? Thanks for taking the time to copy it here for me, you're truly a gentleman. Also your plants look amazing! I'm definitely intrigued by your organic coco medium @NuttyProfessor

@Camden I would recommend changing to hydro specific nutes. Work up from there as you get more experience. Organic nutes will work in a coco mix like @NuttyProfessor's mix. I think your issue might be you're using organic nutes but have no living soil to help feed the plant (maybe)... I could be wrong on this statement.

 

[Camden]

@Shaggn Ya more or less thats what I was thinking too. @NuttyProfessor organic coco sounds amazing but the ingredient list is a bit intimidating for a newbie. Tho I would love to get around to trying it eventually. I'm going to order the line cult used in his feeding schedule and see how it goes

How much mix does this make? Also have you noticed any major issues or needed to make any adjustments? @NuttyProfessor I know, I'm going to have to bunker down and read your journal!!

 

[NuttyProfessor]

@Shaggn about 15 gallon of medium , the first cost is the most , you end up with enough for left overs for another few grows , but the soil can be reused and re amended , so it gets cheaper each grow
I have lefts overs from last years

@Shaggn @NuttyProfessor
So I bought the cannacoco nute line, its coming tomorrow, will be starting fresh. But I'd like to offer you guys a good laugh before all of that.

So the little guy that seems to be flowering and we were like "oh that's weird!" I guess I was pretty stoned when I received these seeds .
I ordered 10 gorilla glue feminized seeds. Which they sent, but they also sent me 5 free AUTO bruce banner seeds!!! Lol, so basically I never realized the bruce banner seeds were autos, and considering they are about 4 weeks of age its not all that surprising its trying to flower. It's been fun

I'm feeling much better about round 2, a little bit of experience and a whole lot of great knowledge from awesome ppl. It's gonna go great

 

[NuttyProfessor]

awwww thats a shame the BB is a cracking smoke too , you should redo them , i had them a couple of runs ago and used one to breed with some blue diesel

Onwards and upwards my friend

 

[Camden]

@NuttyProfessor @Shaggn

So I started 3 new autos , but decided to feed these guys too just to further my experience and knowledge, and one day later they look so much better. The organic nutes was 100% the problem. I am now running the canna coco a+b, rhizo and great white mychorizae.

 

[Shaggn]

@Camden

Now that looks way better!! I'd agree that those organic nutes weren't helping you out any. Keep that in the notes incase anyone else runs into similar issues. You're on your way now!!

all in mate no cook coco soil

 

[Shaggn]

@Camden, How are they looking??

 

[Camden]

@Shaggn Hey man they are looking good all three have almost made a complete recovery, and I'm becoming an excellent nute mixer, finally got it down so I'm not mixing too much and having to throw any away. @Cultivator 's feeding schedule so far has been working perfect and I feel much less lost having it as a guide.

I ordered some more coco so I can repot the two GG4 I didn't do a good job of washing the peat away from the coco and as a result moisture is holding for too long, got some algae at the top of them, I placed the tinfoil to block the light and hopefully kill off any algae I wasn't able to remove by eye.

All 3 seedlings are coming along great as well here are some pics!

 

[Shaggn]

Awesome news!! Looking alive and growing You'll get better at it, just don't over-react and/or change to many things at once.
