4 in flowering tent 100% coco, flipped a little over a week ago, maybe 10 days? I don't keep track usually so this will give me an idea later when I forget again.

Bubble hash made with larf from a blend of last harvest and a little from the recent. After 3 days drying on cardboard- 15 grams, didn't weigh what went in. 150 micron work bag, 120 and 60 catch bags. I like it that way. Full melt both grades and tasty!! Nice blend too. I like to age it a few weeks for best flavor.

Hello and welcome.

A few months ago due to lack of choice at the local hydro shop, I picked up a bag of coco loco.
They were out of pro mix bx/hp, don't feel like going back to coco coir, so I gave it a try and now I like it.

It already has some organic supplements but I amended it with more EWC, some azomite, more garden lime,
some One Shot by Nectar for the Gods, some mykos at transplant. Some Recharge a couple times.

I bought a cheap water filter for the chloramine in my tap water. I've never been an organic grower, probably not even now, lol.
But I'm using water only except epsom salt and k sulfate occasionally not every watering.

I grew in coco for almost 10 years and loved it. The only reason I quit is disposing of the used material. I reused coco 3 times before disposing of it, adding a little new coco each time. I put the old stuff in a small unused garden area for years. That dang hydrophobic shit would just sit there like a 3 foot deep bog of coco. Barely breaking down.
I began to be afraid that it would catch fire one day and smolder for a long time.

No starter pics right now. I do perpetual grow only 3 or 4 at a time.

Waiting for the last Sundae Dough to finish as it's going several weeks longer than it's 2 sisters already harvested.
Have various Kush going in there now. 2 Skywalker, A lemon Larry, and Godfather kush...I think, lol.
What kind of water filter is that?does it get rid of chlorine and chlorimine?What about hard water? Also what brand and how much? Plants look fire by the way!

Hi Jeremy!!

That first one was a single stage filter system that sucked. I changed to the RO buddy 50 GPH 4 stage system by Aquaticlife for around 70 bucks and is a pretty good one for the price.

It will remove all of that and give you 0 ppm. I quit using any filtration now and just use water from the tap, and I have chloramines in my water too.
The reason I even started using filtration was I moved to a house with tap water at .4 EC, almost twice of my old house I had lived in for over 30 years.
But after reading that people with worse water than mine do fine growing I just stopped filtering and haven't had any problems.

Thank you for the compliment!!

Best of luck with your grow!!

Starting 5 under T-5's planted direct.

The pic makes the soil look dry but it's not.

So, 5 planted directly in soil, 5 came up. In my 2.5 x 4 seedling starting tent. No paper towels, no soak, no special position in which to set the seed, just bury and water.
Always works well for me.

The temp is low because I have the tent wide open to take pics. Usually keep it around 84º in there.

SF 4000 in the middle and 300 watt HLG quantum boards on either side in case I need them.
