Another First Time Grow

[Barney86]

Is this a possible nutrient build up in the Coco since I haven't watered to runoff? And if so should I do a distilled water flush?

Bingo mate. That's exactly why and how to fix it.
ALWAYS water to run off and don't let the pot dry out between waterings. That s for soil growers. Feeding like that in coco can give you all sorts of dramas and ph problems. Someone said you were over watering there too. That s a myth that soil growers tell each other cos they don't have enough aireation in their media. If water had anything to do with it then Dwc wouldn't exist. You'd have to really try hard to drown a plant in coco. Trust me, I have tried. Got 3 coco plants right now that sit in 5 inches of water all day every day and I give them 5L a day. They love it!
You're feeding the right strength though and they're doing well. Just get the watering sorted out and you're golden.

They love coco , water and daily feeds

i feed my bigger ones twice a day smaller once

What's the big one in bloom mate? She's a beauty!

Haha no doubt. That s what I got my pb record from. Thought it was a photo at first cos took 7 weeks to throw pistils. Grown 50 other strains and there's not many can keep up with the growth on those bad boys. Nice smoke too. Not the strongest but great day timer.

I have 3 going and all three are completely different , one ended up fox-tailing airy buds the big one , but only tops , the other isnt any where as far on in flower ( even though they popped together ), and then the third is the hardest buds ive ever grown, lol, so lucky ive been spraying the big one to get pollen and ill use some for the tight budded plant, ill go take 3 pics

I've done 3 of them too lol. All been exactly the same though. Not the slightest bit variation. The solid bud pheno thankfully. Wouldn't mind getting some more for breeding with other stuff. Think I'm gonna try my hand at seeds towards the end of this season. See how it goes though. Just got new council neighbours so every chance my door will go in the next few weeks lol.

Sorry for thread jacking btw bill. I get a bit sidetracked lol.

"Barillaro', predictive text again lol.

plant one

plant one fox tail

plant two

and three is well behind lol

Ok so I flushed my Coco a couple hours ago, rinsed through about a gallon of distilled water and then ended off finishing the rinse with my 300 PPM nutrient mixture, runoff was about 6.2 pH and 295 PPM. Should this be good for the seedlings? Also, runoff was initially 1300 pm. This flush was long overdue. I will be doing distilled water every other feeding until I begin regularly watering to runoff

Here is the damage from the nutrient build up

Vacation is very mottled

Trip is much better, hopefully both spring back in another day or so , light is 23" away, and the plants last received the distilled water flush finished off with 290ppm nutes until runoff was 290ppm and 6.2 pH 36 hours ago

 

[barillaro]

Strong bounce back for the girls

Vacation's pretty ugly atm but new growth is good

Trip, resilient as ever. Praying extremely well

Side by side of both girls, light was also lowered 1" to 20.5"

Also both girls randomly started new growth on lower nodes, is this normal?

Trip:

Note: water is dabbed off with a paper towel and also on a 4 hour dark cycle immediately after to ensure no water on leaves when light is on

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i think what you did was hit the leaves with your feeding , splashed nutes will do that damage , try to use something like a little watering can so you can aim under leaves

Thanks for letting me know professor, will be more careful for sure

 

[barillaro]

Both girls looking perky, might do a feeding to runoff in a day or 2

Lesson learned for the next grow, the less I interact the faster they grow

a little tidy up in my room ... here is my autos , they love the t5 , grew three times as big under them

Definitely envious professor, will need to vary my lighting for the next grow. Got some photos planned after these so I can get some training in

 

[barillaro]

After these pictures were taken they received a good watering of 290 ppm at 5.9 pH. Run off was ~190 ppm @ pH 6.2. The pH matches what was given last time but ppm is lower

Vacation improving well

Trip good as ever

 

[barillaro]

Should I be concerned about the twisty new growth? is it a possible pH issue?

Unrelated note I lost my wax pen and am pretty upset, just got new syringes
