Silver's First Coco Grow - Multiple Strains

[silverrocksta]

hey folks,

took a year and a bit off and am finally ready to get going again

about the grow:

Strains:
5xChocolate Kush, 3xHindu Kush, 1xStrawberry Blue, 1xCheese

Indica/Stativa:
Chocolate kush-indica
Hindu kush-indica
Strawberry blue-75% stativa 25% indica
Cheese-hybrid unsure of the %'s

In veg for 1 day, started the seeds a little less than a week ago(10 of 10 feminized seeds sprouted)
Indoor growing in coco earth by growtek. I haven't decided if i will do 3 or 5 gallon pots but leaning towards the 3.

Lighting:
Currently under a 4' fluorescent. Once i get my veg tent completed i will be splitting the plants up half will go in the veg tent under the fluorescent the other half will stay in the big tent under a 400w MH. Once i start flowering the 400 will go in the veg tent and i use a 600w HPS for flower. Standard bat wing shade to start but looking at a few options for aircooled hood.

Temp/Humidity:
Temp has been between 68 and 72. Humdity been hovering around 50%

PH 5.8

Watering:
I will be following LEDRF's feeding schedule. Water everyday with full strength nutes(no nutes for time being)
Flora Nova bloom and cal mag will be adding some moab later on and also thinking about using some molasses.


They are still small and not much to show but will add a pic in a few

Not really much to look at yet but they are coming along. Will be going under the 400 watt when they wake up. Feeding water and calmag only right now

Finally got around to seperating the plants in 2 groups yesterday, half in veg tent half in flower tent(still in veg). The half in the flower tent are under the 400w MH. Also put them in their final container.

This go there will be 1 of each strawberry blue, cheese, and hindu kush and 2 chocolate kush

 

[silverrocksta]

They are slowly growing lol. Not much to update dropped the light about a foot other than that everything is the same

 

[silverrocksta]

Another small update to the room. I swaped the 400watt mh out for a 600 mh. I added a space heater and an ac unit lowest it goes is 75 highest its been is 79. Still just watering with ro and calmag

 

[silverrocksta]

They were starting to get really light green almost yellow, so i gave them there first feeding. I used 2 tsp of floranova bloom and 5 ml of calmag in 5 gallons of r/o water ph'd to 5.8.
Still maintaining the 5 degree difference between highest and lowest daily temps. Humidity has been kinda high sitting at close to 75 most of the time, still in veg tho so its fine

So two plant arent liking the nutes. The strawberry blue and hindu kush have some burn/deficentcy. Other than that looking good.

Over the last week and a half i have started pinching tops of the tallest plants. Because of the explosin of lower growth i have removed some of the fan leafs on the upper portion of the plants.
A few leafs are tore up carelessness with the wet vac. Also still a small amount of nutr burn just at the tips of old growth. going to stay at 3tsp floranova till they start yellowing again(first time using these nutes)

 

[silverrocksta]

A few pics a mi

nute before the light went on

 

[silverrocksta]

I am so happy with this coco floranova grow, they growing vigoursly and look pretty happy. Good job to LEDRF for his amazing thread. I think i may jump up their nutes again to 4 tsp of the floranova tomorrow see what they think of it

 

[silverrocksta]

Some pics from last night. Getting pretty full, tallest plants are about 4 inches away from the screen shortest about 7 inches. I think probably 2-3 weeks until i click them over

You plants look good to me. Looks like you know what you are doing. I see that your plants look a little light green to what I'm used too, is that a product of the coco? It seems fine since they have maintained it and are growing fast but my plants always look dark green. You've seen my thread, could the dark green color my plants have be a sign of too much nitrogen?
