Hey guys
I've recently opted to use cyco coco over canna terra as a media for its water retention properties...I went from seed. Genetics are blue dream x nl#5 ?
Dropped em in water and they submerged + cracked in less then 12 hrs

Got a bit excited and threw them straight into 11litr pots with some extra perlite probably around 50/50 for the weather


Anyhow I'v since been told that coco has basically nothing in the media to support the plant..... And I have to add all my ferts... I decided to go house and garden coco a + b
Since first 1/4 strength feed I'v had prolific growth inside a week , however I am much behind where I should be time/growth wise

Is there anything else I can or should be adding.... In the bottom two nodes I had some deficiency but added 1ml / l
Of cmx and yeah it's all going pretty swimmingly now..... Just starting to transition from seedlings to baby plants... So anybody that's done well run to waste in coco??

Thanks heaps guys

Coco NEEDS calmag. IDK if canna A+B has enough becasue I never used it but I know the coco takes in more calmag than it releases... or something like that ....... dont quote me:dunce:

You should have stuck with the terra , never go for the cheap option when it comes to growing these 'money trees' .

With coco you should start out in 6 inch pot then couple weeks later go to the bigger pots! let the roots fill a 6 inch 1st!

Thanks for the info guys much appreciated... It's been pretty warm and humid here of the late two weeks so I guess this has helped me some....I watered and which was there third feed and that consisted of 1.5 ml / l a + b house and garden coco and .5 ml/l of cmx which is what I think is the equivalent of what you guys over in the states call calmag .
5 girls in total hopefully
4 x. Northern lights 5 x blue dream and a strawberry blue from w.o.s.
Tell you guys what I'v never seen such retarded growth/ slow growth like this I'm not complaining because it was a freebie but dang has anybody else experienced unsymmetrical growth / slow growth / germination ??

It's like the plants missing chromosomes lol

Keeping it alive however.... I think I'll call her rainman :-P hahaha
Missus got a swish new dslr recently so I'll upload pics later to actually show you guys what's goin on

Stay safe and growhard
