I was looking at those the other day. They don;t make them in 2 gal size. They have 1 and 3 gal. If i am doing clone to flower do you think i could get away with the i gal size. I was figuring a three gal might be to much

Yeah I asked them why they dont make two gallons and they told me most customers ask for 1 and 3 gallon bags not 2. About the clone to flower, Ive never tried that but im sure youd be fine with one gal.

 

[Thegermling]

Do any of you guys reuse your old coco?

The truth of the matter is that reusing coco after a run makes it lose its cation and anion charges and you can run into what looks like ph issues and micro and macro nutrient deficiencies. From a commercial standpoint the holy grail is consistency. If you re use coco you lose that control and consistency. Ive heard of people using the same coco for like five grows or more but its up to you really.

 

[Thegermling]

I had some used coco that I had put in landscape fabric in a big tote with holes drilled in the bottom, left it outside and just let it rain through it to flush it out, it's been outside a long time. I just put some new sprouts in some in dixie cups and watered em in with a light clonex ph'd solution, and by the time I noticed something was wrong I only saved 2 out of 11. Ive only grew in coco a handful of times with good results but never started with fresh seedlings( straight from paper towel) anybody know what was wrong? Would they have a cal/mag issue that young?

Did you check the runoff EC of the coco before planting? Seedligs have enough food in the cotyledons to sustain enough growth for about the first week of life. I usually use plain phd tap water (my tap water is 0ppms, on my new bluelap pen, no ro). They shouldnt have calmag issues with plain water for about a week. If they are hungry then start with 0.3 EC and increase it weekly accordingly to plants needs. What was wrong with the seedlings?

Familiar faces here. Hi! I would like to run some fems which I have hardly done and this seems the place to be! Would like advice on Indica leaning hybreeds. Gonna get a couple.

Hey Hillbill!

When I asked Rusty to recommend an indica he said "These lines are what you are looking for:"
Cheap Thrills
Pure L.A. Affie
91 Skunk D Fem
Lemon Crash OG
Albert Supertramp
Electric Larry Land

He says the LA Affie is 100% indica and the others are easy to find indica dominant phenos

In the tent, 4 out of 5 that sprouted last week are growing strong. The Lemon Crash was the only seed to not pop the first round, so planted another and the 2nd seed germinated and looks healthy

Appreciate the help. Tryin to get a quick working vocabulary in Cannaventure dialect!

I would start where @Thegermling said, by checking the runoff of the coco. It could be the Ph is off. Also with coco, I generally feed lightly right away.

I heard checking ph of run off in coco isn't accurate. I read that bit when I switched over to coco a few years ago. Was told just to flush it good with correct nute level and ph.

I just say this cuz I had issues one time and kept checking run off and numbers were all over the place. I thought I was going mad until I researched it to find that tid bit.

Just watch out for stretching. I started my last round at 6'' and a couple went to 36" after the stretch. That Ghost OG is pretty potent.

Yeah, I guess I never really check my runoff come to think of it. I do ph my water going in though, but boybelue said he was doing that, so I don't know. Hard to say what could have happened without seeing anything.

 

[Thegermling]

Yeah checking runoff ph isnt very accurate. As long as your feed is in the 5.8-6.2 range you should be fine. Another important thing to do is feed until runoff.

Good to know.. thanks for the tip.

The Albert super tramp had the least amount of strech.The Ghost OG and Cheap trills were the big stretchers.

 

[blowincherrypie]

For people in coco check out drip clean.. Ive been using it a few months and it works as advertised. You only feed .2 ml/gal so the quart lasts a while.

That's the one Im probably most lookin forward to running.. Your pics looked beast!

I am not real good with smells but when i open my containers during curing it has some seriously wonderful smells coming from that one. ( The Albert)

Coco pulls calcium out of mix and holds it so it is not readily available to plants so you have to add cal/mag every watering. Also with coco flushing with plain water or rain water will mess it up. I forget the science behind it but you always want to water or flush with nutrients/salts present.

Perhaps that had something to do with plants perfomance?

I have read about that. I usually use my filtered tap( 100ppm) which is what i use for flushing. This last grow was my first with Mega crop. I did not flush at all during the grow ( Mega-crop's recommendation) however i did at the end anyway.

Idk it really stumped me , they didn't look overfeed and they didn't damp off , they just hit pause and I thought it might have been pH related and ran some ph'd ro water through em but it was too late. The two i saved looked ok and may have survived because I had some seeds off my outdoor in the same mix and there doing ok. I initially mixed 5ml clonex to a gal RO ph'd and kinda did a little flush with it. But yeah it sucked I lost 9 healthy Garlix sprouts. I just started another pk in peat pellet and they were immature compared to the first pk and two didnt germinate so im 11 for 22.

Also, don't sleep on Useful seeds. Like Rusty, a good cat, and has some cool looking fem lines. I've got two Useful, and 3 CV fems underway to go into a vacated tent in about 3 weeks, and expect much goodness.

Edit: I've also gotten real good buds from several IHG packs, but prices are mostly ridiculous these days.

If that's so , I'm sure that's the problem because ive had this tote sitting out back getting rained on for a long time, long time! I was watching Everest's YouTube video about coco runoff EC and decided to ck mine and it was awful straight out if the bag, so I threw my new and used in that tote thinking I was doing the right thing. I guess I made things worse.
