This is my first run with coco so i will be documenting a lot on how iv been using it. Started rinsing the coco coir blocks with hot water tested the run off and there was no added salt as some blocks can have, after they fully expanded i continued to rinse with cold water till the run off was clear, squeezed out the remaining liquid and soaked in a light solution.
Light Solution (2 Liter-Ro);
4ML Rhizotonic
3ML Coco A
3ML Coco B
PH 5.7
EC 0.4
After germinating the seeds with the paper towel method i potted them in 0.45L square pots filled with the pretreated Coco Coir, covered the pots with zipp bags and left them in total darkness around 25*c for 48 hours checking in on them every 12 hours.Within 2 days the seedlings had broken through the Coco and they had cracked there shell off, apart from Black Jack who was just trailing behind, removed them from the humidity and placed in the veg tent to start growing a strong root structure.

Seedlings showed there first set of spikes fairly fast and before i knew it they were over an inch long, growth in Coco seems to be very fast and i am impressed by what i am seeing think coco might be a keeper!

Seedlings are well established in there pots and growth is rapid growing thicker and longer every day i think at this growth rate they could easily over take the few months old girls in soil.

Today i moved them along with the other vegging girls to a smaller tent were they will grow a little bit more before being potted up and moved to the flower room, i'm not going to be giving these girls much veg at all i want to get 1 - 2 main colas from each plant.
Environment;
Outside -6*c (Yes folk its freezing in the UK!)
High - 25.6*C
Low - 20*C
Humidity 50 - 60%
Move to veg room
There is 4 x 2 foot T5's running in this tent, this will open my other tent as a temporary flower room to grow these new beans, Tbh the small tent is perfect for about 4 mothers so i might keep it as it is with the mothers for the SOG chilling in there uses less electric and easier to manage.
Everything going well so far up to date on the girls and documenting so will chill back and bill one up.
What's up guys!!
