Fast Skunk & White Widow, Coco: Grow Journal 2018

Hey there everybody. Want to share with you my first grow progress . Which did had a lot of problems at start , but than with help of PennyWise and BigBudz I solved all of them very fast .
So I think that I would start this story from the beginning.
I started with a 2x3gal dwc systems . I did a 100% germination, then my seeds were dropped in the plug

And after that step I made my first mistake and got my roots bound , because I did wait to long for transplant (about 5 days) should've done that in 2
Then I was pretty happy when I found the 420 magazine and started to dig into topics and common problems, and got my plants into the dwc .



Then they did I start to grow bit by bit before I started to have major problems with nutes , res water temp, humidity was to low also. And they started to turn worse and worse. I had a thread started when I was feeling unsure what I was doing and asked for help .







And problems weren't solving at all even with help of a lot more experienced growers out here .



So the problem was not nutes , not oxygen, not even the humidity. It was that fuc**ing messed up ph pen , it wasn't working accurate and it wasn't even possible to calibrate it . Don't ever buy a cheap stuff for your grow, invest your money in good stuff (I've ended with Oakton ph pen and I'm now happy with that )
I've ended pulling them out from dwc and just left them for a day in a jar with tap water while my new ladies we're germinating .




Also I decided to move from dwc to coco and I'm glad that I did that .
After a day in tap water one of "sick" babies started to rejuvenate and I gave her also a chance by simply putting her in coco coir. And from this point I want to stars sharing my results and my mistakes.

Now more info about the current grow which I still consider as my first one .
I have a Fast Skunk (bigger plant) and two of White Widows
They are all in veg at the moment .

I grow in 3gal air pots , with Coco Loco mix .
They are under 1200w King led
2ft x 4 ft tent . Temp of the tent is 76-77 , canopy temp is around 79-81 .
Humidity is 65-75%
I use auto drip system for watering which has 2 waterings at a day one is in few minutes after the light goes on and second one is in 4 hours before lights turn off.
Watering with pH 5.9 nutes Solution
And feeding them with GH products.

Looking good, I just started my first coco grow and I'm loving it. Once I get all my soil plants harvested I will be coco only for the future lol. My first plant is only 5-days old and her shell got stuck and I had to help her out and get it off. I damaged the leaf a little bit but she is coming along nicely. I also have 3-Early Miss autos and 2-super silver Haze photos germinating now and I'm putting them in coco also. I have two Marsll 1200's, one in each 4×4. Looks like you have a nice setup and it will be nice to follow your journal, maybe I can learn something lol. I just hope my first grow with coco goes smoothly lol. Hopefully we will both do good with Coco, I'm gonna grab a seat over here in the corner but I'll be watching lol. Best of luck to you...️

Yeah coco is way ahead of soil I think . Are you doing pure coco ? Mix ? Or rock wool cube and then coco as I did ?
And no problem would be happy to share what I already know and what would get knowing if future

Yea I'm running pure coco right now. I bought a 10 pound brick and flushed with 150ppm calmag and 200ppm of AN micro and grow along with a little great white. The one that has sprouted is doing good. Her shell was about to smother her out and I had to help her with the shell. Here is a pic of her at 6 days old. I used stick pins to get shell of and damaged her a little bit, you can tell one side of her is a little bigger than the other but she's doing great now...️

Oh got it
I forgot to sink my rock wool as same as coco
I've just dropped the seed in a wet rockwool and then started to feed it with 25% strength nutes . That's not a proper way to go but it went out pretty good

I've heard you can get a huge rootball from using the rock wool but some growers are against using rock wool to start plant. I guess everyone has their own way of doing things. ..️

Yeah
That's right
Look up "rootmasters" on YouTube and I'm sure you can find a lot of new things
 
Sunny!!!! Glad you got your problems figured out man lol that was a bitch trying to figure it out and it was all down to a stupid pen... get what you pay for am I right lol

You are totally right. And also today I've bumped into another problem with my tech part . That problem is with the carbon filter . It's new but it got clogged so fast. So after a day of reading and researching I did find out that not only simple high humidity can cause that , but also the big problem is the quality of water that you use in your humidifier. I used tap water for about 4-5 days and it messed up my cf so there was no air flow at all. Also I found few guys that told just to wash it with water from inside out , sort of flush ,, then let us dry and it should be ok .So I decided to do that today, and will keep everyone updated about it . And also I'm thinking that I won't use my filter till the flowering , can use fan alone .
Here some today's pics also

Your luck is almost as bad as mine...
Wife had a temper tantrum and pulled the plug on my DWC so i had to switch to coco/soil
Temp hit -5 C and the plant was on the brink of death
Saved it (some how) and then she turned into a male.
Fml!!
But at least I got some pollen for the future.

Oh shit
Hope my girl would stay a girl after those stresses lol
 
Brief update about my ladies. They are doing great .

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?
