Sorry man I was just answering your question on this page I thought you were trying to find cheap coco.

You dont need any soil if you wanna grow in coco it is an inert medium so you need to provide all the nutrients.

Anyway if you wanna grow in coco then you can either buy bags of coco from the hydro store and it is ready to go, or you can save a few bucks and buy from bunnings but you need to prep it first - you need to flush the salts out then add the dolomite lime to buffer it so you dont get deficiencies, mostly magnesium. Its simple but takes an hour or 2.

Yea, this is my first coco grow. Been growing for years in soil and moved to dwc and rdwc. I rinsed my coco thoroughly prior to planting. I use advanced nutrients ph perfect and have not noticed any deiciencies at all (so far lol) currently about 3 weeks into flower. Havent added any dolomite lime. But Maybe its the ph perfect thats enabled me to not have to use it??
Im quite surprised at how well the ladies grow in coco to be honest.
Best part is, no noisey air pumps!!

View attachment 4335253 Long time absent. But thought might post my first scrog grow. From a re-veg of Blue Cheese & Northern lights grow. End of Week 2 of flowering.

Will you be putting in a second net? That first net isn't doing much

Edit; the whole idea of scrog in a small enclosed space doesn't sit well with me, you can't move the plant, can't access the rear of the plants, wiring plants would be a hell of a lot easier.
I understand the benefits for commercial growers with heaps of floor space and long rows, maximising lighting on a flat even canopy for sake of consistency

I'll see how things pan out. First crack of scrogging; thought to try something different with the re-vegg. The tent is not up against the wall so I've got easy access front & rear. Last grow was fairly standard four plant, topped, with some LST.

You let it grow through the screen to much mate not telling u how to do tbings when i scrog i stick it over at the start of flower keep everytbing under until stretch over.

I prefer the 4 plant method an just break shit.

Just my 2 cents

Yea, i agree with jzs.
Try to create an even canopy to get the most out of your light.
After flip, keep growing those bitches horizontally tucking and weaving. Try to expose as many nodes to the light as possible. strain/stretch will determine when to just let them go and grow verically.
Usually around 7 to 14 days after flip.
If done right you should have totally filled your screen at this stage.
Cut off anything that is completely shaded underneath the net. If you do this, your yields will increase substantially.
May take a few grows to get the hang of it.
If you want to maximise yields indoors either sog or scrog imo. :cool:
