after three years of growing in coco, i can tell you, you want your ph to center around 6.1. if you ph to 5.8 you're going to get lockouts.

Yeah, 5.8 fucked me pretty hard LOL. Have been rocking 6.0-6.1 with fantastic results....allowing a ph of 5.8 every once in a while for a little more access to micro. Only started using coco about, 1/2 year ago....rocked soil for a decade @ 6.0-6.5, or just not phing at all. LOL. Soil is much more forgiving, that is, if you built (rebuilt) the soil correctly. Which has it's own learning curve lol.

I’m also giving a whirl to Jacks hydro nutes in coco, has a pretty dedicated and loyal following- the stuff lacks the hype and cost of what many Jacks growers consider “hobbyist” nutes we all buy at hydro stores.... something to look into if you are going coco

bit of an up date i put tje ru tiest one out side im in souther hemisphere so hopefully it starts flowering that pkus there on 24 hours lights on in the tent thought fuckmit hopefully i can leqve i there ittl flower and ill get a quick smoke while the others ar still vegging i topped the one thats doing the best cant believe iv made it this far lol side note its not droppy at all now it was just thirsty smells really good ay going to transplant it tomorro what do use think im very interested in youre thoughts

have you thought of using airpots or smart pots with the coco? they would take off even faster.

the big bush is ina 5 gallon airpot filled half wat with coco ill fill it in with more if need be others im going 2 put i thos fabric bags tnay give u instead of plastic at the shops i think there around 3 gallons

im about 2 weeks in flower now one turned out to be male the other turned out to be a reall lanky pheno that neds staking and seems 2 be the slow flowering its grown past tje light now the other seems to be doing really well defenetly not the best looking plant but considering i cant grow for shit thay look allright curios if i should lower humidity its around 50 60 im not worried about mold i heard dryer makes it be more frosty

For future look into the PPK style... i just finishec with a full round of it, amazing results... all on about $5 worth of jacks nutes... this ppk deal takes airpot concept to next level... its so easy, the rigs are easy to make and once set up u just fill a rez w nutes, damn near bori g, fucking roots popping out the fabric.

Simple cheap and amazing results...

Id be happy two weeks into flower with that. Now the lanky one... thats the same strain just a differnt pheno? Id pinch those stems to where they are weak enough to bend back down, though looks like you are squeezed for room laterally... Thats gotta be a judgement call on your part- a big part of being a good grower is making best out of less than perfect situations... as they are a "when" not "if" if you are honest... There is nothing wrong with pinching stems and bending em down, in fact many feel the stress or whatnot produces bigger buds on those branches that have been pinched....

You are doing fine- its an art, not a science..... Yes, there is science involved but the science must be applied artfully as there is no two identical situations or scenarios often..

Humidity is no biggie at all at the beginning of flower anyway. I honestly like it high the first half of flower as its just building plant and building bud. Dryer at the end absolutely if possible but in the first half of flower, I have run humidifiers if it was really dry out. High humidity is less stress on the plant typically and they grow better. Even watered when does your grass outside grow better hot n dry or hot n humid??? Dry air is great for the final weeks, that's about it in my book. To say humidity must be low the first day of flower on is not artfully apply science in my mind... It's taking the principle that dry is better and applying it too broadly and without thinking of the "why" low humidity is good...

last round kinda went 2 shit cuse iver feed n stuff n it reveged and ended up getting pm I however learned alot this grow I did a sw og x nl x sw og x nl and some deep dreams and a pink gravey not sure whats what but ill let the pics speak for em selves ... coukd only upload one its got about 4 5 weeks 2 go I rekon

I’ve learned little from my grows that went smooth in comparison with what I’ve learned from ones that have been rough rides...
