I was going for some Holiday cheer. I like how you clean the lower branches on your plants, it really makes a big difference with airflow and plant health.

 

[massproducer]

I too use trays to catch the run off, and just like you I use it to feed my other house plants and they seem to love it.

Doc your plants look wonderful... Great job, man I really love coco

I have a bunch of pics to put up as well but i have been being lazy lately, but I will get them up tonite or tomorrow for sure.

 

[docfishwrinkle]

yes i believe so & also main reason is w/ these coco's i didn't comprehend how explosive these plants were going 2b, even though i was warned by the creator himself. wanted to focus the energy upwards. my space is 4x4x5h. wheres the porn?lol

 

[docfishwrinkle]

Somthing I noticed betwwen the FFOF and the MCB...same age and all, exactly, but the FFOF has about 30% hairs that have turned,and the MCB hairs are bright white with no signs of slowin.

yeah i noticed that from last soil grow compared w/ coco's this grow, but didnt know what to think being completely diff. genetics. today marks 4 wk flower almost 1/2 way there. im so giddy already. ill post pics after trick or treating.

 

[docfishwrinkle]

Howdy Mass, I got a question. In 24 hours all the top fan leaves on 1 coco-buck got crispy and the lower fans lost maybe 50% moisture. When i poked a thing in drainhole about a quart of water came out(about what i give it each day) that apparantly was stuck in there from previous watering. Are the drowned roots what wrecked the leaves? will upper root system recover? 3 other coco-bucks were same distance from aircooled lights with same care other than plugged drain hole. thank you so much for your help. There is a pic in my journal i cant figure out how to move

Hey, Mass thanks for the thread. My coco/soil mix is working out amazingly. I might try straight coco in the near future.

 

[docfishwrinkle]

bbp give us sum porn!!!!!!!!!!! do it you wont be disappointed. just got done tying up branches. oh yeah you grow w/ pro mix right? if so theres a thread about it, you probably already saw it. come on wheres the pics...lol sorry just giddy from the intoxicating fragrance & dogfish head 90 min ipa

 

[massproducer]

Yeah it sounds like that that the problem lyfr... While those damaged leaves will not probably revive the root system sould regenerate with no real problems, the growth could be stunted for a bit but all of the roots that were damaged and died will now become organic food for the microbes that will start thriving again

All will be fine, just monitor them for a week or so and let me know if they are worsting or starting to get better, if you have any liquid seaweed/kelp these are the times that I find it most beneficial

Hey mass, just wanted to update you on the coco grow I am doing now. Lastnight I transplanted 2 into your buckets, in a few days I will see how they like it. I followed your directions in the layering and worked in worm castings, spent coffee grounds, alphalfa meal, and steamed bone meal for the ammendments. I only transplanted 2 because I needed to soak another bale of coco. Tonight I will have the other 5 transplanted. So far just the straight coco with bone meal and worm castings (for germination) has sustained the plants quite well. I am hoping they will really enjoy these buckets. I will give them a couple more weeks to adapt to the change and do some tying down before the festivities begin

Thanks Mass, you already answered my next 2 ? just put 2 more coco bucks 2 the flowerroom(total of 4)...love'em

man, this post just keeps on going and going and going...

 

[massproducer]

That's the goal anyways...lol

 

[godspeedsuckah]

Your bucket system is no joke Mass, I am really impressed. I have a little nute burn because my germination pots were light on the nutes and they needed a little kick last week. Anyways Aurora Indica and Northern Lights 19 days veg time and 2 days after transplanting into the 5 gallon buckets.

 

[godspeedsuckah]

My only concern I have with the buckets is watering. I can't seem to give them enough water. I will go back through this thread and see if you note how much water will be needed for the first few days of transition. So far I can water them every day and they seem to want more.
