1000w Coco Multi-strain Medicinal Grow

Rule of squares comes into play. You want to keep your lumen level over 5,000 for ideal growth.

145,000 lumens measured at 6.8" is only 36,250 lumens at 13.6".

Figure a 6x6 space is going to be at least 38" from the bulb to the edge of the canopy. At that distance you dip under 5,000 lumens to 4,645 lumens and less than 1/30th of the advertised energy. A 5x5 footprint will keep the bulb closer to the canopy edge and the whole thing will get enough light for healthy photosynthesis.

When you slam a few lights together the over lap does allow for more even lighting.
Nice argument SNOW - that's totally valid.... thanks for the education in lighting today!!

The all new installment of the 'watch it grow!' catalog is Green Crack! There are a few gaps in the time frame as I was more concerned in getting flowering pictures of the other strains. I will be doing one of these for each of the strains so I have something to look back to as a reference and as I said before when the plants are done and harvested I'll have a time line of each.

This installment is for Stinkbudd!

Incoming picture update either tonight or tomorrow morning, Romulan now has the biggest cola other than Panchota, which wasn't topped and started from seed.

Notice how far along the Green Crack is compared to its Hog counter-part at day 18. I've heard Green Crack could be a 6-7 week train. One way or the other I know I'll be pulling the Hog at about 8-9 weeks rather than the 8 listed.

Green Crack already has the bud clusters of the Hogs pictured in day 25, weird.

The Green Crack around here and in the dispensaries has always been considered a sativa. They usually break it up (around here) as indicas, hybrids (S/I & I/S), and sativas. I always see Green Crack in the sativa side and I believe it's a 75:25 S/I mix. Nice and fruity/skunky, the fruit smelling mostly of mango and a hint of pineapple. It's starting to frost up a bit and is quite hairy now at day 18, super early.

Definitely some good work in there dude.

My plants don't look anywhere near as nice as yours do. I've been keeping a log of the run off from my own plants. My average run off on January Fifth was 2.6EC!!!! Which only show what is draining out. The EC average then dropped to 2.3, then to 2.1, and is now holding pretty steady around 1.7. The coco I used must have been super high in ppms to start, it's the only explanation I can come up with for why I continue to wash out residual even after gallons of run off over 3 weeks. The run off on some of my plants has had to drop a full 2.0 EC to get to the right level. My own garden was fed today with a 1.4 EC solution so that I got 1 gallon of run off from each plant (three times more than usual) and I'm at day 28/29 now, finally with the EC fairly under control. Some plants are still too hot.

Snapped some nighttime pictures with the camera tonight so everyone can see the results of the overly high ppm levels in my media over the last few weeks. Fortunately I've managed to keep flower production on pace and hope the next week goes well now that the nutrient profile is starting to fall in place.

I can only hope to have buds like yours man! You're main group is about 9 days ahead of these.

As I read, that was the only thing that came to mind. I thought I seen you mention using Canna coco, could it be that they got a batch that wasn't rinsed to sea salts and whatnot? I'm sure they're RHP certified which means the coco does come at some exacting standards, such as being rinsed and buffered.

I'm surprised you don't do updates more often dude, you have a pretty mean crop going there. Cronic and Warlock are going to get much fatter than anything I have in my arsenal. I hear Star Bud has some amazing taste and Sensi Star is sort of the same right (assuming here, probably look like an ass)?

Thanks mane~ I would but the Barney has been taken already :( , what state you in mane? If you get good phenos from either of the Acapulco Gold or the Tangerine Dream I'd toss you my left nut for some clones.

I need to get up on uploading some vids, decent video camera is on my list.

I actually found the Canna Coco to be the lowest quality coco I've come in contact with. I found sticks, little nuts/seeds, leaves from some tree, and bits of plastic trash in it. When I look at what the run off has been that's the only explanation I can come up with. What we know about Canna Coco comes from Canna themselves. My personal experience does not match their advertising hype.

I'm all botanicare cocogro all day every day from here on out for sure. I'm not one for updates and journals and what not really. I'd rather do a seed to harvest in a single post as my journal but I usually don't have the prettiest plants so I don't have much to show off. I spend most of my time educating growers on how not to do what I have done, lol...

Thanks for the props. The Wappa is really kicking some ass in there and that Sensi Star is shaping up to be something special. The leaves have this fine fuzzy coating of trichomes already. Of my "bag seeds" one of them (the really tall one back left) REAKS of lemon which is good news because my Greenhouse seeds Lemon Skunk from the previous grow I found these seeds in was fucking epic smoke.

I just don't want to hijack your thread with pictures of my own grow but I figured since we are both doing 1000w multi-strain grows this'd be a good place to demonstrate to people how great your nutrients are and how jacked my process as been trying to imitate your results.

Canna Coco A+B during later vegetative growth on the light schedule they suggest 9.5 ml of A and B, 2ml of Rhizotonic, and 9.5ml of Cannazym at that 200ppm tap (mine is 60ppm btw).
Total EC: ~1.27
N:128ppm
P2O4: 151pm
P: 66
K2O: 103
K: 85
Ca: 188
Mg: 32
Su: 25

I think the big difference is the PK levels. Canna claims that their system requires lower potassium levels because the coco provides the Potassium as it breaks down. I've found this to not be the case and have always found Potassium deficiency during veg with their system. Including 5-10ml of Botanicare Cal-Mag plus 2-0-0 with 3% Ca and 1.5% Mg really makes a big difference in growth rates during veg as well.

The big difference during flowering is the addition of some CannaBoost with their system. At 0.1-0.1-0.1 not a lot of nutrition in there to change the ratios.

Supplementing the system with potassium is inevitable. I think the CNS 17 should be the base for comparison of all systems given your plants.

I'm going to do a side by side by side of Canna, Botanicare and GH's FloraDuo at 0 starting PPM.

The spreadsheet you have is throwing off the calcium reading, is that the only element in tap water that makes up the ppm reading?
