Yeah there gone like the wind, lol the loss I took I shouldve just given them to you for free wouldve been close to the same. Of course should've just hung on to them but needed equipment and to be honest couldnt do what Im doing now if I didnt sell em cheap.
Good seeing you Buck and your the one with the beautiful plants. My friend I can only hope to have your Talent one day.

Hey, I toned that last one way down. :;):
 
re: s1ingblade's Coco OG Kush & 818 HeadBand 1st Grow Journal 2013

LMAO, to all ya'll. It's gotta have some kind of train wreck type name to it, that and I'll have to figure out the Colloidal Silver Technique. I know B.I.D. has the knowledge and he's my BFAM so I think I have a shot.
So yeah once again the power company is doing line upgrades and after staying the night on the army cot, got a call this afternoon and was told their doing it some more so I gotta get back up there tonight and reset the timers. Good thing cause those seedlings could easily dry out to quick. That is one of the few drawbacks that I know of using AirPots.
Isn't there some higher end timers that run on Ni-Cad's?

i recommend putting some epsoma garden lime in the coco for the ca mg issue coco has, coco like to to funny stuff with cal & mag
you can also dissolve a calcium pill in a gallon of water and a tsp of epsom salts if you dont have any calmag ,but using the garden lime from homey d has been my favorite fix for coco, coco is an amazing medium ,my favorite by far , another magic potion in coco is azomite
70 some trace minerals hope this helps hiker:thumb:

Thanks BID! I used to grow in soil then soiless, but I can't remember squat. I've just been using "run to waste" formulas from GH. So far it works, but I did double up the calmag does last time they were fed. I put in some epsom salts as well, but I was unsure of an equivalent source, ie cheap and easy to get, for Ca. I'll get some garden lime next trip to Homer's place.

Yeah sometimes having mother plants and multiple strains aint easy, at the same time though it aint that hard:) hardest part is having to occasionally culling them. This round I used 100% coco, roots brand. I usually add a few handfuls of perlite but ran out and couldn't find any anywhere. This was also the 1st time I had any issues. I dont think it was the lack of perlite I believe it was the fact that the coco was not rinsed as much as they say it is and between all the salts and not adding bennies was the major problems. Now I really rinshed the $hit out of it and then inoculate it with compost tea and BPN "Root Magic" So far this round is going better.
Spent most of the day cleaning up the ranch and filling a big ass hole that was part of a greenhouse, but it was all wrong so I 86'ed it.

Ya. There are lots of things to manage with multiple strains, but I think it is easier with soil/soiless. Maybe that's why you guys are able to do it easier. Culling is definitely the hard part. I hated removing the males and the hermie strain, but I had no choice. I popped 24 seeds. I'm down to 12 potential mothers. Of those, I think I've narrowed the list down to ~5-6. Eventually I'd like to whittle it down to 2 or 3. Then after I've really focused on those for awhile, I'll add more strains. I still have more than 60 seeds, so I'm good to go for awhile. I see you guys all growing these great strains though and it makes me want to try them all! :)

I didn't rinse my coco either. That's why I think I had some issues at first. Hopefully everything will be smoother from here out. I am mixing my coco with perlite and some vermiculite. In the old days, I used to use just perl and verm. It worked fine, but I see everyone raving about coco, so I thought I would try it out. Makes the mix look like soil.

Thanks for the tip on inculcating them. I'm so in the hydro mindset, I'm having trouble switching gears to soil. I have some Mykos I can put in there when I transplant.

There sure are. I did a quick search and there are tons. My Apollo 11 timers have battery backup. Based on what I just saw searching, all the digital timers have a battery.

hey hiker iguess i need to sub up on your journal my "coco chops" are pretty good and fresh in my mind all the time, one reason (there are dozens) why i love coco it the fact that it can support the myko system so well like soil,unlike pearlite and most other hydro mediums allowing for a fully organic grow add in the hydro like growth rate and oh hellz ya!! once you get the particulars of coco amended your golden, the epsoma garden line adds a healthy amount of ca & mg my first coco run i had no idea about the calmag thing and bout shit when i saw the leaves showing the deficency but i ran out and got the first high ca/mg thing i found, "E.G.L." , a member here tippedf me to use a human calcium pill and epsom salts that fixed them more or less overnight , i just add egl to every batch of coco i do, and i also top dress a tsp every 3 weeks to a month, ,but yeah dont hesitate to shoot me question about coco or whatever i'll do my best to help:thumb: coco rocks!!
 
re: s1ingblade's Coco OG Kush & 818 HeadBand 1st Grow Journal 2013

Thanks BID. My ladies in hydro look great, but the clones were looking pretty haggard for awhile there!

I read people talking about how coco can mess up cal mag ratios and it is usually related to improper pre-treatment. All I did with my coco was get it wet so it would expand. I did a real thorough flush with just straight RO a couple weeks ago. Then at the last feeding, they got a real mild nutrient solution with extra calmag, some epsom, and some superthrive. I'm going to be transplanting them from the solo cups into some 1g pots this week. I wonder if I can find some of the Epsoma Garden Line. That's a brand right? Is there some generic ingredient I'm looking for? Dolomite lime will add Ca, right? So can I just add that and the Epsom Salts? I'll hold off transplanting until I can get to the nursery to see what they have. That stuff should be hitting the shelves here by now.

Thanks again. :Namaste:

yeah its best to rinse coco well then add in some "Espoma Organic Traditions Garden Lime " they sell it at home d,ace,lowz,true value its fairly generic stuff its full of calcium and mag stabilizes the ph ,and is a slow release pelleted , you can also dissolve it in water for a quick boost or even mist for foliar feed,(you should filter it first) runs about 5 bucks a 5lb bag, , a quick fix is some epsom salts a tsp per gallon, and i dissolve a 500mg calcium supplement pill in there too, till i can get a bag of the lime

Another trip to the garden, of course the last two days of line upgrades didn't happen and seeing I use old school timers if the power is off so are the clocks on the timers. Last night's shift was needed so it wasn't a waste of fuel or time like the night beofre.
Got a great deal on one gallon grow bags 12.00 for 100 or .12 each. I also like them because one can keep track of strain names dates, nutrients used, etc... all with no need for tags to keep track of data
So here is a pic of the OG Kush clones before and after the transplant

Was able to make better use of space and lighting after the plants went into their bags

The first round of flowering plants are starting to get the sticky trichomes that we are all seeking

I know I could have done a better job of LST'ing the plants and will learn and improve (hopefully) with every harvest. Here is a pic of the G13 Labs "Raw Diesel" Framework.

I am very excited about the new addition to the lineup "LA Confidential" The plants are showing a heavy Indica influence and the Bigger plant will probably be male but either way we will get good use out of them regardless of sex.
