I keep hearing people with monster yields and they're always running coco. Thinking about trying that myself, sick of these puny little 160 gram harvest.

I'm in Coco.
Here is my grow. Friday and Today.
I use Greentree soil.

The "soil" is about 80% Coco 15% perlite and 5% other stuff like peat.

Just completed a 4 plant G13 Haze run in coco, 23.5 Zips (658g) vertical in coco, it also had a 5th plant Critical Kush, 70g that I turned into Cannabis oil because it did not produce worth a damn.
So the 4 plants turned 1.05g/W, if the fifth plant had produce similar to the other 4 it would have been a monster grow.
That only includes smokable buds.
Overall I had the 23.5 zips from the four plants. Also had Shake, sugar leaf/leaf (168g), G13 under sized buds, smokable but would be too much work to trim (56g), the entire grow of Critical Kush, the 5th plant, (70g) = (294g), 10.5 Zips for a total grow of 34 zips (952g).
All of the secondary cannabis 294 g's + 3.4 zips 95.2 g's (13.9 zips) went into making 45 grams of Cannabis Oil. Will be using some of the remaining smokeable G13 approx 5 zips or 140 g's to make about 15 grams more CO for my prostate treatment. Plan on doing 60 grams over 90 days and hopefully my prostate problem will be gone along with any other problems that may be lurking in my 70 year old body.
I would recommend Canna coco, Canna nute line and drip irrigation. There are rules to follow like any grow and a learning curve but once your there you won't be disappointed. In a vertical grow you cannot have too much light, I ran two 315W CMH vertically.

I really want to try Coco, I have seen some beautiful plants grown in Coco, I had a good harvest in soil on my first grow, I used a mars 1200 in a 4×4 tent with 6 autos, I done topping and lst, here are the last three I harvested, first two are thc bomb and the last one is a white widow. Im on day 13 of my second grow now in soil again but I am gonna have to try a few in Coco on my next run...️

Jeez, your one bad yielder procued like twice as much as one of my plants does on average. I only got 160 grams off of 4. People keep telling me I Just don't have enough light but I don't think that's it.
Your weights are for dry bud or wet?

This grow gave me 24 z's of smokable buds, some where around g/W, and 10.5 z's of shake, including 4.5 z's of buds that were not worth trimming for smoke, so they went into the bag form making oil..
I took 4 oz out of the smokable bin and added it to the 10.5 oz from the shake and made Cannabis Oil for my medicine. This grow will provide me my meds for the next yr.
What a blessed plant nature has provided us, so why in the fuck is it still illegal?

I had six autos altogether in my 4×4 and yielded almost 23oz, that is dry weight by the way, I have two tents going this time with 12 autos so if I could double that it sure would be nice, they are on day 14 today, I am growing the same strains as last time also with a couple more added in lol. I am going to start a journal on these also in another week or so, just letting them get started a little bit before I start journal...️
Hey everybody!
Just wanted to post a pic of my ladies =) I'm going to have to top them again soon.
I had a question about carbon filters and how effective they actually are at eliminating pot odors from the air? I'm a little nervous about venting carbon filtered air out my window because I'm in a densely packed apartment complex and there are windows facing mine plus neighbors to the left and right of me. I'm worried I won't be able to vent heat out my window because of smell which means i'll probably have to use AC during flower which means my electric bill will be $400+ which i really can't afford.

I just started my second journal if anyone is interested, I can't add it to my sig on this phone so you will have to look it up on journals in progress or the easiest way is to click on my name on this post, then click on my post and you should see it, the title is Tom Smith's Second Run With Autos 2017, everyone is welcome to come along for the ride.

Awesome!! I'm in! Your setup is bangin!
So here i have an Aurora Indica fem on the left and a White widow fem on the right. Both in day 30 of veg. Using all biobizz products now with budlink silicon, plant magic calmag and good ol' Tate and Lyle Black treacle . gonna get some buddahs tree pk 9-18 for later.
Planted in 20l buckets. Using a 230w mars hydro, will switch to 600w hps (dimmer) for flower.
I didnt transplant the second time around quick enough i think so they keep really short and bushy. Were getting fairly rootbound but the roots were all bright white.
Also you will notice on BOTH! plants the front left branch is totally missing .. both snapped off while doing some lst. My problem is i dont take the whole plant out of the tent to work on it, which ultimately leads to heavyhandedness. There was no fixin em so i binned em.
Also trying to make things flow a bit better i started my seedings in an unlightproofed, plain wooden vintage wardrobe, with no reflective shit with 2 like 60w cfls, and one blew in like 5 days. So they were proper flimsy to begin with.
This is my 3rd grow. First was a packet of mixed hybrid femenised from Nirvana and i had moderate success. I was using cheap compost and orchid nutes . still got about 2.5 oz of very smokable bud! Some shite tho and one plant didnt make it. Did manage 2 clones tho that had to finish up same ime as the rest. That tent was full as fuck .
Second grow i killed ALOT of seeds! Maybe just impatient or not focused enough. Life got in the way as it often does.
Ended up with 3 plants. 1 ww fem, and 2 bagseed. all looking healthy, even done some fine lst. One of the bagseed grew some balls so see ya mate. Other bagseed was female but was just so spindly. Was so hard to keep short. Bent stems over like 5 times and such tiny buds forming but like an idiot i chopped it. Should have at least finished it. Idiot! Would have been some mad sativa. But who knows, still got just under 2.5 ounces from the ww. Good smoke.
So thanks for having me batcave, and peace n love
To all of you on 420! muzzy

If the information in your .SIG (that you flower in 16 square feet of space with only one 400-watt HPS) is correct, then you don't by half or more.
You can't? Is this while using the forum's app, that 420 thing, or by accessing the website directly via your cell phone's web browser? If one of the first two, try the latter. You should be able to use every facet of the forum in your phone's browser - including the ability to edit your .SIG and all the other User CP options.

Tom Smith's Second Run With Autos 2017
I just subscribed. IDK how closely I'll be following it, because I cannot seem to get my list of subscribed threads that have unread posts down below 100. People post faster than I can read, LMAO. But I have several auto-flowering seeds in that limbo state between the time you decide you want to grow them and the time when you look at them and think, "Yes, that's really a plant
" - and my "A-F" experience is minimal. So I'll probably be reading (albeit a week or three behind everyone else, maybe) even if I don't post. I may have mentioned this before (in this thread, I mean; I know I've mentioned it elsewhere): That, IMHO, is the number one negative about the vast majority of LED grow light panels. If you were using some sort of HID lighting in an air-cooled reflector, you could bring air in via ducting, pass it through your fixture, and out via ducting. This air will, of course, be heated air - but it won't smell like your grow room and, therefore, can be treated like any other source of hot air. You would (probably, depending on your specific conditions) still end up ventilating the grow space, which will smell like cannabis. But that part is a lot less air to treat, and it is not heated except incidentally, so it is a lot cooler, too. In general, carbon filtration works better on cooler air - as in, the filter material will perform longer, and should be capable of removing more odor (especially since you have the option of moving the stinky air through it at a much slower rate, since you are not depending on this air/ventilation path for cooling as well as odor removal).
Other than that, carbon filtration can be extremely effective. You need to ensure that there are no air leaks anywhere along your ducting/etc. runs, so that 100% of the air you're attempting to treat actually passes through the carbon media. You'll need a slight negative pressure in your grow room (IOW, the exhaust fan is pulling the air in through your grow space's passive vent(s)). And you'll need to remember two important facts: A carbon filter doesn't notify you ahead of time that it'll be ceasing to work 100% on a certain date, lol, nor does it have a "replace filter" light. Secondly, that if you're around the smell of cannabis on a daily basis but your neighbors are not... they'll notice a faint cannabis odor long before you will. What I mean by that is... If you check (as you should be doing, and regularly!) the output of your filter's run for odor, and find yourself thinking, "Hmm... I can just barely smell cannabis - I should probably change my filter next week," then change it right now, lol, because it's not faint to your non-consuming neighbors at that point.

I to am an addict now. But what better thing to be hooked on?
So enlightening
TorturedSoul,
I appreciate the thorough response that was very insightful about changing out filters. I had a question though. If I were to leave the bottom flaps of my tent open so there can be passive intake, would the odor seep out through the vents into my room? If so this would be problematic because my window would be open so the ducting can vent out the heat, which would make the filter useless since the odor that leaked into my room would simply go straight out the window...bypassing the filter altogether. Or would it not leak out the vents because of the negative pressure from the filter pulling the air upward away from the vents?
Right now i have my carbon filter attached to an 190 cfm exhaust fan. My tent is 4x4x6.5 so the total volume of air is only 104. Is the 86cfm difference enough to stop odor from leaking out the bottom flaps?
I hope that makes sense >.< haha
Thanks.
You will need to keep your bottom vents open unless you install an intake fan. There is no smell as the extractor keeps everything moving up. I did my grow with the flaps open. It was no issue.
