TerpKing Second Grow - Holy Grail Kush DNA Genetics - Coco Smart Pots - 600W MH/HPS

Re: TerpKing Second Grow - Holy Grail Kush DNA Genetics - Coco Smart Pots - 600W MH/H

Paper towel works best but put them in a sealed container or you run the risk of your paper towel drying out and losing all your seeds. Zip lock baggy or some plastic container with a lid. On a heat mat or someplace warm and dark.

Next time I speak to them I most certainly will do that indeed. Yeah you don't see many places saying buy 3 get 1 free lol. Wow, now that is a serious saving indeed, that's huge. I'll definitely be on to them again, that's for sure.

Haha, no probs, had me scared there, I thought I'd made a rite cock up. Good to hear they are good quality seeds tho, I'm really looking forward to these babies, that's for sure.

I'm gonna try it that way next time, do you have just a single plate or a plate with the paper towel on with an upside down plate on top so they're covered in the dark?

Cheers pal

Iv been practicing with bag seeds over last month or so.

I normally use room temperature pre boiled water to soak the seeds for 12-18hrs in a dark place. After the first few hours give the seed alittle poke to make her sink. They normally float.

Then place them in between few sheets of damp kitchen roll in between 2 small plates. I place this on my ballast to keep warm till about 1/4 inch of tap root pops out.

Then I plant 1/4inch deep taproot pointing down in a small coco filled starter pot pre loaded with 1mL/L coco A+B, 2mL/L Root Boost and 1mL/L Calmag.

I keep them under 24/0 light for the first week. Then switch too 18/6.

I suppose it's about finding what's best for you :) have a practice with bag seeds mate and find what works for you

Thanks very much for all that useful info Riley, it's much appreciated. That's a good idea, I actually have a bag of some bag seeds which I've collected over the years and I never thought to just practice with them. I can't get enough, all I want to do is learn and grow more, haha. What a passion to have, I don't think they come much better lol.

You need to change germination technique. I use damp paper towels soaked in boiling water and i maybe lose 1-100 seeds.

I'll try it next time I sprout , thanks !! I very seldom lose seeds, but sometimes seeds are duds, and it don't matter how we germ them, they just not going to grow. How do you squeeze the boiling water out of the towel ?? Engineuity at work, that's one I've never heard of. Why do you think it works so well ?

Good luck with that. Your germination technique will never yield 99% tjough mate and thats probs what seed company will say.

Also if buying seeds use seedmadness in uk. You will not find better priced seeds anywhere mate i guarantee it and the guys are cool.

Re: TerpKing Second Grow - Holy Grail Kush DNA Genetics - Coco Smart Pots - 600W MH/H

I know, tell me about it. I'm seriously hooked, when I planted that first seed I felt that fire start burning. I know I'm lucky indeed, Cultivator already taught me so much on my first grow and helped me achieve a fantastic result I couldn't ever have imagined achieving on my first attempt. A fantastic community and so willing to share their knowledge to help others, so glad I found this place. Yeah exactly that, it's not really something you can talk about so it's nice to have somewhere to meet like minded individuals where we can share our passion with one another. Awesome, I'm glad to have you here. I'm already so excited and eager to improve my skills and results on this run, I'm all about that quality.

Pretty much the same with me, Cultivator helped me decide to give it a go after helping me through my last grow, I'm excited to see the difference, I've been told it's a bit easier than the ebb and flow recirculating system I used before. These guys really know their stuff and I can't wait to produce some results like they do ;)

On their website it has a number to call if you're calling from American or Australia, so I'm guessing they must do pal :)!

i set up a drip system and then decided to just feed by hand. I'm retired and have nothing else to do. And it gives me a chance to get up close and personal . Long as my health permits me to lift pots, and move shit around, then I'll continue to hand feed. Man, so far, I'm really liking what I see happening using coco !!

Hope this info helps with your coco grow. Subbed

The is a quote from ledrf.
1. Coco holds 30% oxygen when fully saturated.
2. If you let coco dry out, you will get lower yields and most likely nutrient issues because when the coco dries out, it leaves dry spots, where the roots dry up and die. That causes issues.
3. When you water every day or twice a day or ever three times a day, you are replacing all the oxygen the plant used up, thus letting it grow faster. You are also replacing any nutrients the plant used up with fresh nutrients. This is why I water every day with nutrients.
4. You get hydroponic results. Fast growth. Bigger yields.

Hey quick question been thing of using coco in my next super soil organic grow I stead of peat moss for the base but haven't really been able to find anything. Would it work the same given that I'll be using my own COF
TerpKing said:
Hey everyone!

After finishing my first grow successfully with a fantastic result, I'm back and ready to grow some more medicine! A few slight changes from my last grow, in this journal ill be giving coco a whirl!

Grow information:

Strain - Holy Grail Kush - DNA Genetics - Feminized seeds
Number of Plants - 12 seeds germinated, I will pick the best 8/10
Grow Type - Coco Coir
Grow Stage - Seedling stage.
Setup - Rapid Rooters / Smart Pots
Light - T5 4x 54w bulb for now. 600w MH/HPS and a 315w D-Papilon to be added later.
Nutrients - Plant Magic Magne/cal 0.1 EC, H&G Root Excellarator 0.3ml litre, Plant Magic Bio Wetter 2ml litre, Great White Mycorrhizae 1 scoop per 4 litre.
Water type - R/O water
Medium - Rapid Rooters soaked in above formula
EC - 0.2
PH - 5.8
RH - 55% to 75%
Room Temperature - 21c to 23.5c
Room Square Footage - 240cm/120cm/200cm
Pests - None Known

I soaked my seeds in a glass with R/O water for 12 hours. I kept the glass in a dark space until all seeds had sunk to the bottom. I then followed the same process of germination I used last time. I soaked Rapid Rooters for about 6 hours in the following solution - Plant Magic Magne/cal 0.1 EC, H&G Root Excellarator 0.3ml litre, Plant Magic Bio Wetter 2ml litre, Great White Mycorrhizae 1 scoop per 4 litre. Once my seeds were ready to be planted I picked out Rapid Rooters one at a time from a bucket of nutrient solution. I squeezed the excess water from the Rapid Rooter and turned it upside down. I used a sterile scalpel to make an incision in the bottom of the Rapid Rooter, I then took a sterile pair of tweezers and placed a seed facing hinged side down, half an inch down inside the incision. Once the seed was in place I pulled away the tweezers and the incision closed up leaving the seed snuggly in place. I then inserted the Rapid Rooter with seed into a small plastic holder, I followed the same process for the remaining 11 seeds.

Once I'd completed the remaining rooters I took them upstairs to their new home. I placed them on an over turned hydro reservoir inside my grow tent. I've placed the seed tray inside a propagator with the lid not quite fully on under a T5 light. Once all seeds break ground I'll be taking away the lid pretty sharpish and lowering the light down on top of them. While the seeds are germinating I'll be running the light 24/7 so the first thing the girls see when they pop up is bright light. Once all seeds are established I'll be switching the light cycle to 18/6.

Now to patiently wait ;)

TerpKing!

Hey buddy, I'm sure somebody will answer you shortly, I'm not too sure I'm afraid. What is a COF, I'm not quite sure what that is?

I don't really have the room to set up a drip system where I am, I would definitely like to try it out tho with more frequent waterings. I do how ever enjoy watering by hand, it's not to taxing once a day and as you say we get to spend some quality time with our ladies. I too am really liking coco, I don't have too much hands on experience with it just yet but from my experience so far I think I'm really going to love it. I'm finding they're growing pretty quickly if not just as quick and so far it's seeming like less of an effort compared to my ebb and flow system on the previous grow!
 
Re: TerpKing Second Grow - Holy Grail Kush DNA Genetics - Coco Smart Pots - 600W MH/H

OK everybody, time for a small update.

It's been 11 days since my babies poked their heads up through the rapid rooters towards the light :)! Things seem to be going well, I noticed a slight few purple/red dots appearing on little bits of stem on a few of the babies, I'm thinking this is the first signs of a magnesium deficiency? Apart from that all seems to be going well and they're starting to pick up pace in the growing department.

Today I mixed up a new batch of nutrients for the week as follows.

Starting with R/O water - 0 ppm
Plant Magic Magne/Cal - 0.4 EC
Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect Micro Grow Bloom - 0.6 EC
H&G Root Excellurator 0.3ml litre
SuperVit - 1 drop 4 litres
RAW Silica - 1/4 tspn 4 litres
RAW Yucca - 1/8 tspn 20 litres

Final EC 1.0, PH 5.8

Once a week on a Sunday I add Advanced Nutrients VooDoo juice at 2ml litre and a lite foliar spray with Plant Magic Evolution.

Environment condition:
Humidity - 50/65% RH
Ambient temperature 22.5c - 25.5c
Lighting schedule - 24 hours but will be switched to 18/6 tomorrow and lights will go out at 12pm and back on at 6pm.

Here is some pictures of what's been happening the last few days.

I know the pot size is a massive curve ball but even before I replanted the others the size difference was massive. Both planted same day but one gets watered by hand once a day the other 3 times a day :) it's also nice to know I can go away and not worry about them too much :)

Re: TerpKing Second Grow - Holy Grail Kush DNA Genetics - Coco Smart Pots - 600W MH/H

That's a nifty little experiment you did there, I like that a lot. Wow, check out the difference, that's remarkable. After seeing that I'm going to try to figure out a way to do a drip system next time so I can do half coco half perlite and feed 3 times a day. Yeah I like the fact if you want to pop away for a day or two it's more practical for sure. Thanks for showing me that :)!
