shit man one or 2 balls have opened alredy will all my plant in the crop be affected?
Well Nas, if you have good air circulation then yes most of what has already flowered is pollinated. The ones that are pollinated will turn the hair red quick and start to pull back in. Sorry to tell you bro. But look at it this way at least you will have some all female seeds!
Also I don't know how many plants you have so that really depends if the one or two balls can produce enough pollen to affect all the plants. But for sure the plants close to the balls are pollinated for sure.

I've got 5 brand new ladies I'm growing in coco and the CNS17 line; grow, bloom, and ripe. Using Great White for bennies when transplanting. Click my signature below.

how do you guys ph your coco is a digital meter really the only way to go or can you use those soil meters? and if so how would you use ph up or ph down to adjust the ph from knowing the ph of your coco but not your water?

Dapio,
You don't adjust the coco without adjusting the water that you feed with. The coco should be inert and nuetral to begin with. Since it is nuetral you need to adjust the water you feed with to make sure that it's in the range that the plants can use. SO, what you do adjust is the water you feed with and this will adjust the coco as long as you water to about 10% run off each time to ensuire that there is no salt build up.
I haven't used the soil meter in all my years. I have just started to use a digital since starting with Aero two years ago. But the accuracy with a digital is exacft and I would suggest one. But let someone who has used a soil meter chime in their two cents.
Hope this all helps Dapio and good luck bro.

thank you lester I figured that was how it goes down I just wanted to know for sure because a soil meter is like 9.99$ but the digital meter is like 120.00$ blah!

I noticed the slightest bit of (moss like substance) whatever it was it was green on the top of my coco it is 1 of 4 clones I am vegging up, am I just watering that one to much? what problems might I see after waking up to a green mold it was only on the top of the surface and i just scooped out the little that was in there dont really see any defects in the plant except the rockwool cube is still a little green on one side I tried to get off the mold the best I could.

I use a 15 dollar meter from HD and it does not work always read 7 or higher and my water is always 5,4-5.8 so no good.

OK now i came here for some insight on foliar spraying with canna boost i have 12ml per gallon in nute solution, i was thinking may be 4ml in my 2 gallon sprayer and 2ml part coco part B, sound any good along with 101 wetting agent.

i have a few outdoor 100 litre grow backs filled with 100% coco feeding the whole canna line up but without boost. im thinking about burrying the bags straight into the ground, could i cut the bottoms off and let the roots grow straight into the soil? or will i have a problem with coco not having nutes and the soil having nutes. and also would it work if i just dug a whole in the ground and put straight coco in it? how would i change my feeding shcedule?

i would not add dirt to my coco pot so i also would not sugest doing you idea either, may be use a foot or so or rocks or a layer of coco mat with some root prune on the bottom so they dont grow thru.

i might put a thin layer of gravel at the bottom so the roots dont grow through. do u think if i burried the grow bag straight in the ground id have problems with the water draining? i plan to feed them twice a day.

youll needs some buffer between the ground and the bags, prally will never need to feed twice a day 1 at most may every other get a moister meter and feed accordingly.
