Ha! And here I've been so proud of myself for shutting up for once and let some other people talk.
Since we're talking cultivation in coco, here's what I'm doing right now:
I have a 21-day-old Dwarf Low Flyer auto growing in two gallons of coco coir with 30% perlite. Right on schedule at 21 days, it started showing preflowers. I had snipped off its 6th node the day before.
Today, two days later, I see that the growth sites at nodes 2 and 3 are sending out stalks.
Today's nutes:
Week 3 Vegetative at 1/4 strength
pH 6.5, 350 PPM
Runoff after 3 quarts added:
pH 6.0, 385 PPM
The target PPM was 700, so next feeding I need to dilute by only 1/2, not 1/4.
Little Sir John has lost his head!
OK, I uncloaked. Please keep posting photos. I think those, along with a nutrient history, help the most.
Peace,
Sci the Lurker
I don't have a journal but have been comparing results with a couple journal keepers that are in the same stage as I am. Plan on doing one after I get this one out of the way...I grew nice trees 35 years ago outdoors this is my first grow since in a completely different comfort zone!
This pict was taken 4 days ago after I trimmed the crap out of them and installed the scrog;
This picture was taken today of the Purple Kush ladies after their first day in 12/12;
While I am new again to this profession the same rule applies as it did 35 years ago...get know your plants, they will tell you what they need, don't like, and love!
Oh man, go ahead start one, only if to share more snapshots like that.
I had the same issue,
A buddy helped me out!
This is a copy-paste text from him:
"She is over watered or over nute, get her out of that pot and into a 5 gallon pail of room temp water. Shake some of the roots loose to let clean oxygenated water in and allow them to breath fresh water for 5 minutes. Take them out gently then re-pot in some moist to dry soil. The important thing here is to wait 12 hours before watering. Give it a strong nute solution of 2800 ppm. That will jump start any stragglers. I've had the same problem in the past and a good soaking to clean those roots of what ever is bothering her will deffenitly help. You will see the difference within a day or 2."
I followed the steps but didnt add any strong nuts, and left it for 10 minutes instead of 5.
So here what you gonna do that might help you
1. Carefully pull out the plant with its soil, like this. I did remove mine with upside-down smooth moves.
Put it on a big can of water so the half of the soil is on the water and the other half out of it, i used 6 litres of water in total.
Then make circulus moves of the plant in the water. Leave it for approx 10 minutes to breathe the fresh water air.
Dont be afraid if you cut some of the roots at the bottom, i did loose more tha 20 roots. Keep in mind the main roots not to be cut, the you will have serious problem.
I also removed 10% of the total soil of the pot for better in case the water were trapped and had no way out.
Then bring the plant into the pot, remember that the bottom half of the soil is very wet now,carefull as if it can break into pieces while you are going to the can to the pot. I asked my brother for help just to have 4 hands at the bottom and be steady.
I also created new tiny holes at the bottom of the pot for better drainage and some at the middle of it for some air circulation.
So this before the precedure, 2 days ago:
And this is the result (yesterday):
And i am gonna post todays photos too, for the first time i saw my plant to be praying so much on the light . .
