That's a brilliant idea Mel, wouldn't that be interestingLol, I keep thinking I should try coco!
It's the ph thing that's kept me from it. Although now that I think of it, they say the same thing about hempy
Hey, maybe we should do a joint grow sometime! I'll grow one plant in coco and you grow one in hempy.
Same!I , for one, would love to see that Mel!

So, should we do the same strain, or would that feel too much like a competition?That's a brilliant idea Mel, wouldn't that be interesting
I think a bunch of people have exaggerated the importance of Ph-ing nutrients when growing in coco. I grew for 6 years in coco without ever even owning a ph pen.Lol, I keep thinking I should try coco!

Hey Mel !I was going to wait until I had sprouts, but I got impatient.
For this journal I'm planning to grow Cherry Bomb and GSC, both sourced from @Herbies Seeds
Tent: 120x60x200cm (2x4x6.5 feet)
Lights: 2x @VIVOSUN Aerolight A100SE
Exhaust: @VIVOSUN Aerozesh 10cm (4")
Nutrients: Mega Crop 1-part from @Greenleaf Nutrients
Medium: 3.5 litre perlite hempy
I'll post the strain info when I'm sure I have a sprout of both. This is my only GSC seed, so if it doesn't pop I'll have to choose a backup.
The lights and fans are controlled by a @VIVOSUN GrowHub A42E, but it's currently restricted to off-line mode until further notice.
I think that's all for now. As always, feel free to ask questions or post comments!
Merry Samhain!
My thoughts exactly ! Really cool
Not a competition Mel, we have totally different setups/goals
So, should we do the same strain, or would that feel too much like a competition?
I don't own a ph pen either. I'm thinking I'll just treat it like every other medium I've grown in, and see what happens.I think a bunch of people have exaggerated the importance of Ph-ing nutrients when growing in coco. I grew for 6 years in coco without ever even owning a ph pen.
I do the ph testing now with every feed because I'm trying to test differences at different ph.
I've run different groups at 5.8, all the way up to 7.0 minimal difference
My personal opinion of people with "ph problems" when their plants are struggling, are actually overfeeding & overwatering. Nothing to do with ph at all
Just my 2 pennies
Welcome!
I was really surprised when I saw it in a journal by @bluter so when I decided to try switching from soil I started looking into it.
Thanks Sniper!
Sure thing!
Blueberry Auto is good, I ran Blue Dream last year and it was excellent so I'm happy to grab some fresh beans for a spring grow - which breeder?
The breeder for the Blueberry autos is 00 Seeds, and I bought them from the Man with Seeds when he was a sponsor.
Usually use @CoffeeShopSeeds, @The Vault or Attitude [UK] so I do have access to 00, last run with them was Chocolate Skunk XXL, which was impressive
The Gorilla auto I grew in the summer of 2023 was also from 00, and it turned out quite well. A really nice berry flavour in the vape, and a good strong stone without being excessively disorienting.
That's some tight node spacing!
Not as tight as I thought, now that I can see them more clearly. And especially on Cherry Bomb!Wow!
Nice looking plants.Day 27
Today I started training these two. It didn't really feel right to clip those leaves, but I've seen plants come back from worse
First, the before pics.

Cherry Bomb
And now, the aftermath.

I also got a pic of a leaf from Cherry Bomb in natural light.
So there you have it, the initial stages of training for these two girls.

Edit: I also fertigated them today with 1g/litre Mega Crop, fortified with mag nitrate. And that last pic of Cherry Bomb was taken as the fan hit her, I didn't notice she was blurry until I uploaded it. Won't happen again.
Thanks LC!Nice looking plants.
Those fan leaves were like a huge beach umbrella on those young plants. LOL
Thanks con!
Probably doesn't meet OHSA standards!It wouldn't be a Melville grow without excellent scaffolding!
