its my understanding that the less drainage you have say in straight coco(no perlite, or clay balls), the less frequent your watering should be, my question is how often do you water in straight coco..strain man???

hi all quick update 1 week at 12/12 and well its pistol city View attachment 1039601View attachment 1039602View attachment 1039607View attachment 1039609

will be upping the nutrients to 1450ppm today and well these thirsty little buggers im sure will love it

see skiz nothing beats straight coco :P

looking good dude. I see you toped a few times? I saw two leaders were topped to make 4?

hahaha nothing beats the correct temps man....something i have only JUST got sorted :P I can see how a stronger light is much better to use as your growth is so compact.

Good work ;)

well with coco you know when it needs watering i use the lift and feel method but during veg it was 3 waters a week but now into flower these gals are sucking up to 1ltr every 2 days

the strains are jack herer x southern shiva skunk and jack herer x top44 so they are very indica dominant hence the short squaty nature of the plants

yea skiz im a big fan of topping have topped quite a few times yes good temps help i sit a 25c lights on and 21c lights off and yes the 600hps helps alot allows you to get a nice compact bushy plant just have to trim bigger leaves to allow light to penetrate the lower nodes

Each 2 their own, but I would've hit him with:
'My Mum's dead, so is my Dad, but that didn't stop ur Mum from getting in there & having a go @ playing Hide the Sausage with him..'

@SCG, dude i wouldnt even risk it. Apparently you can refuse a search if they just want to check your house or car, but if they have reason to suspect you got stuff your buggered. I heard Vic is pretty meh about the weed laws though so i donno? Still As the others said i would just get rid of it even if your only a few days off a harvest because its just not worth it. If after a few weeks nothing comes of it so be it but better to ditch it now rather than defend yourself in court :)

@Street, fuck need to make mods to my tent then!!! I have a hole at a 45degree down (so minimal light enters but still allows air) right in front so the fan can pick it up and then an outlet at the top to allow the hot air to vent. I might chuck another in at the back of the tent to create a cross wind? I need to grab some ply for my walls instead of the shitty plastic i got because then it will be more rigid and i can start playing with exhaust fans and shit. Only one of the plants is yellowing and even she seems to be on the mend now and the others have deff grown in the last few weeks. I marked them yesterday and will see thier weekly growth just for shits and giggles. Ive also doubled feeding schedule but at about 1/4 of the amount i normally give them so that should help feed them without getting thier feet TOO wet. Will update Journal later to see what you think of tent design and plants :)

Thanks for the help.

Ps. SCG good luck with your problem mate. I really would not risk it dude!!!! Any equipment i would give to a friend and any plants i would give to a friend if you can if not chuck em or at least plant them somewhere not related to you. They may die but at least your ass wont in prison ;)
i thru out all the seedlings i had laying outdoors , ive just got 12 inside now.my old lady and mates think i should be fine the cops didnt even fine me for the 6 seedlings there were so tiny... and i think in melb i will just get a fine for 12 plants "first offence" i hope.

for years i looked at that white shit and thought im not useing that for my weed, till i read the packet, it says its an inert mineral rock that is super heated, so i tasted some on my tounge and it has no taste, just puffed rock like popcorn that hold air= (O2=nitrogen= co2), plus some nute retention, but thats what coco is for holding water the two are peas in a pod
It sounds like it would be really good to use as long as u got it right does it cost much?

If we are talking about perlite no it is not expensive. Even at the rip off hydro store it is 40 bucks for 100 liter bag. I do a 80%coco 20%perlite to make my coco go a little farther. The more perlite in the mix the more you have to water. I water once every 2 days in my hempy buckets.

hit the nail on the head it is realy good to use, wheather its 80/20%perlite or like im about to try 50/50% it dont mater
as long as you con sider the following:

a course medium like perlite or expanded clay, would be expected to have a different watering programme to that of a fine medium like coco, or peat, so the more drainage the more frequency of watering is required, the less drainage the less frequent

I did get laid in Thailand actually. A few times. That was a few years ago. Once with a crazy Half English/Indian chick who wanted me to slap her pussy. You mean that i didnt get laid in Malaysia. You are right. I have a partner.

When ever i see that avatar i think its some weird dude doing funny things to a sheep. Not sure why so many use it. Just a thought.
