The Coco Clean Up (EM1 & MYCO)

Greenvein · Jun 2, 2024

Hahaha so stoned I just stared at my own post thinking AHH this dude clones like me

deadly serious

Why im really here lol so over the weekend I've been double triple checking my EC pen as things weren't adding up. Turns out my water filters have gone south so will have to change them asap! I've been over feeding my plants (hight EC) as I don't always check my regular mix just my PH so job for tomorrow.

No run off has been checked as I've been out alot but will get back on it from tomorrow. I managed to get my drippers fitted but need a few adjustments. also timers set and testing.

My feeds have been standard just calmag and maxi grow. I won't feed any more seafuel bloom until Wednesday.

As for the ladies their doing ok.. I was hoping to have flipped them today but they are taking alot longer then expected and not quite recovering as I had planned but I'm thinking to just flip tomorrow and hope for the best. Usually supercroping in flower they shoot back up but this time in veg it seems they just want to stay where that are and start new vertical growth like a manifold.

Heres my 3x3

And my 4x4

Growing less plants I might actually get a worthy entry of plant of the month

How's about a quickie tonight

all I have left to do now is set feed timers then both tents will be flipped. The 3x3 is getting too dry between waterings so salt has been building up

I will feed frequently with heavy run off low ppm until rectified. Other then that all systems are go

Filter change complete

And for the last bit of news some Yowies to be

Happy weekend

I was hoping to flip my ladies by tomorrow but we will see I lollipoped & super cropped very heavily so waiting to see a bit more positive growth from the last trained cheese plant then it's go time

I need to install drippers and timers as I'm only feeding once a day mid day but would prefer the mornings. PH run off results of a standard feed for me are -.2 to -.4 so if I feed at 6.4PH my run off will bee 6.0 to 6.2PH but the last three grows this difference in veg would stay consistent and has been the same through this grow too. I haven't consistently checked my run off as my main concern is mid flower but last night I thought I'd check where they are at and it looked promising since adding the Myco, EM1 & fish emulsion my run off was +.3 so feed was in at 6.1 & out the bottom at 6.4 . Very surprised but something is working! I will drop my feed to the recommended 5.8 and monitor a bit more. Hopefully this sits stable at +.3.

A few random recent pics of the plants. They look like they have been through a war but good signs of recovery

wow did you super crop that first one to get her bent over like that (or just get her drunk

)

Some hardcore super crop in all directions bro.. them three plants took alot last week! Will get there timers changed tonight and start feeding them up.
Four weeks until I get my answers on inoculating Coco

definitely hopeful as it's sitting now.

Good news
After changing my filters I realised my EC meter was funky too so I had to pull out the big guns.

Cant beat Bluelab

these are good for mixing and testing but I preferred my small pen as it it's in the cracks in my tray to read run off. I don't think my pen is faulty just low on battery

Anyways as for the good news my feed that is usually lower in PH is still higher

I fed today at 1.3EC/5.8PH in and got 0.9EC/6.4PH out. This Is great news as once I put my timer in to start feeding twice a day both EC & PH Should even out.

Iirc tomorrow is inoculation day if I was going to feed EM1 weekly but with my run off PH so high at the moment I won't bother. I will still feed with buffered water and my fish emulsion which alone could boost my microbe/bacteria production.

Lastly I popped some more beans and planted them with myco but won't be using EM1 for these two plants. I want to see if the PH will stay higher with just fish emulsion and Myco.

just stunning how packed your tent is. Its just one large mass of bush. I think I see a hobbit in one of those photos, buried deeply in the foliage

Been a while so little update.. tomorrow is Wednesday/seafuel day so basically a water. Ally feeds have been in range but since setting up my timers to fert 2x daily I will bring my PPM's down a bit. My main concern PH, this is currently coming out .6 higher then feed so in a great place still and two more weeks untill the big drop

I will be shocked if I don't notice any drop at all but if it's kept under control throughout by my microbes from one single inoculation then I'm sold! Having all the ingredients in my kitchen I think I will do the math on making a much smaller solution at the beginning of each round.

As for the plants I will get some more recent photos tomorrow but they have completely taken off and out of control

my 4x4 needs pulling back down again tomorrow and my 3x3 had been rearranged and tucked under the net again ready for stretch to begin.

Old pics

My mixing pump in the 3x3 resovoir had wire damage and shorted out so a job for tomorrow I suppose

Lastly I have a few clones and seedlings I'm trying to grow as slowly as possible so I upgraded my windowsill space today.. it now has a aquarium led light with two fluorescent propagation bulbs totaling a massive 64 watts lol then stuck a fan at each end of the light to circulate air.

I think that's all in my garden. just clock watching now

Edit.. a couple more pics of my new oscillating fan and main stem.

What a delay on Mondays business talk

better late then never! So today marks 14days of 12/12. As I've been super busy I just wrote down some run off readings to see how it's going on down there:

Monday
Miami Madness
In.. 5.9ph 1.4ec
Out... 5.6ph 1.8ec

4x4
in 5.6ph - 1.3ec
Out
Cheese 1 - 6.2PH 1.8ec
Cheese 2 - 6.1PH 1.6ec
Mind Melter - 6.5PH 1.2ec

Tuesday
Miami Madness
In.. 5.8ph 1.3ec
Out... 5.7ph 1.8ec

4x4
in 5.8ph - 1.3ec
Out
Cheese 1 - 6.2PH 1.6ec
Cheese 2 - 6.1PH 1.5ec
Mind Melter - 6.5PH 1.1ec

Wednesday
Miami Madness
In.. 5.8ph 1.4ec
Out... 5.7ph 1.9ec

4x4
in 5.7ph - 1.3ec
Out
Cheese 1 - 6.2PH 1.6ec
Cheese 2 - 6.1PH 1.5ec
Mind Melter - 6.5PH 1.1ec

So looking at my PPM/EC results my Mind Melter seems the happiest and could do with some stronger feeds yet my biggest plant the miami madness is eating the least and getting salt build up.. the exodus cheese is near perfect

Now for the PH results. The whole of the 4x4 tent is perfect

exactly where I want it to be im still a week or two from the big PH drop but still promising as it sits.
As for the Miami Madness you can see my salts are creeping up and PH is creeping down I would say this is grower fault and id recommend getting more run off or adding another watering.

So moving forward I plan to add a extra feed to my Miami Madness and slow the waterings down a bit. Then in the 4x4 I'll raise my PPM's slightly. The desperate defoliation will be done in one week.

Here's a few recent pictures:

The 4x4. Notice the exodus cheese (last pic) is alot slower initiating flower so probably going to be a long ride.

Last note.. I wasn't going to but I inoculated again today with my seafuel watering. It's just sitting there in the cupboard so why not

Monday I will start recording run off again so until then have a great weekend

Happy weekend 420! Quick update..

I only managed two readings this week of run off but we still running perfect so

this continues.. my 3x3 run off is consistently matching feed PH and the 4x4 run off has been +.5PH higher then feed so still no drop yet but we're in the zone now for a rapid decline in run off PH. The EM1 seems to be working wonders just really hope it keeps up!.

As for my ladies here's my 3x3. Could do with another net but she had her clean up for flower.
