I used DG in coco for a while with great results. 2 things to bear in mind: Coco prefers a slightly lower pH than peat mixes, around 5.9-6, and if you see any deficiencies show up, it's more likely lockout than genuine deficiency so flush before trying to correct with nutes.

I add tap to my RO till it hits about 100-120, no need to sup and I find the ph is a little more stable that way. Homebrewer, great journal. Subbed.

Thanks Shnkr. Jeb, you got a great lineup. That LA is great shit.

So I had a couple q's... What kind of ppm range are you using, and are you lollipopping those girls? Great journal, by the way, I've been lurking around.

Ok, I'm back, and I'm a DADDY! Forgive me if I'm on the site a little less these days, I'm just embracing the parenting experience. My son was born Thursday night, and despite being a couple weeks early, he's a tank, a regular little eating n pooping MACHINE. Hands down the best thing my wife...

Hey CCOB enthusiats, I thought you might want to know... Hobbes is back. Go hit the Grow Lab thread.

Basically, yellowed leaves towards the end are a result of low N feeding all thru flower. If you look at most nutes for flowering plants, the N is very low and the plant will outpace the ammount of N it's getting unless the grower is supplementing some in. If your plants start yellowing, just...

Good looking out man, I appreciate it. I think CCOB is great, but requires either perfect and meticulous training, or a 1000 watt light to penetrate the canopy. If the plants would just quit stretching for those first couple weeks it'd be perfect, but they won't listen...

The wreck's a good commercial strain, big weight thrower, hardy plant. The taste isn't amazing, but that's just my opinion. A buddy of mine ran that stuff outdoors for 3 seasons in a row due to the hardiness and yield. Never saw any nanners trimming the stuff. No idea whose genetics it was, tho...

Update time... things are good in the garden, making some changes tho. Crop circles are on the way out. I feel like in another 6 months of trial and error I could perfect the sysytem, but I'm having a kid next week and I need this op to start running itself. I'm converting my garden to a DWC SOG...

SO I'm sure someone's asked this already, but I'm dumb and lazy so... what do you feed with?

WEAK! Nothing worse than plants playing the crying game, man, sorry to hear it.

CO2 has a much higher molecular weight than other stuff in the air, sinks like a stone due to that carbon atom in there. Not trying to be a nay-sayer, but regardless of heat that CO2's gonna hit the floor before long. Elevating your air pumps would be better.

Yeah, that's what I meant by lateral tips. Your way of saying it's a little easier to follow, though. Basically, you get spiderweb roots instead of long skinny roots. Which is good. :-P

I'd agree with what you're saying. I think the scoring bit is more to stimulate a pot-bound root system. Might be better to wait for the roots to fill the existing container before transplanting, but you know your situation much better than I do. I just find that root-bound plants tend to suffer...

Yupper, I try to put everything in the soil, then I can just water em and walk away smiling. I grow perpetual, so I work with my plants daily, and when I used to do the whole toxic soup feeding method prior to making my own dirt, I'd spend up to an hour a day just mixing the shit. I spent a...

Yeah, I always forget that "organic" just means a different bottle of crap to some. Damn kids. Organic means "derived from an organism," for any biology-challenged heads out there. That means poop or body parts from animals or any kind of plant tissue. Bottling not necessary. Man, I'll tell...

So I finally got a working 400w CMH bulb yesterday, looks great. Can't wait to see this in action. I think I might want to alter my training schedule to have longer mainstems and shorter, more numerous colas to make up for the low light penetration of a 400 watt bulb. Oh yeah, and I also...

Sounds good man. I'm looking forward to seeing that crop circle.

That alfalfa thread's an interesting read, suprised it hasn't gotten more attention. I'm gonna try adding it to some worm castings for a tea sometime soon. For anyone out there doing the tea bit, Weedblock makes an awesome reusable tea bag.
