Next round will be.
2X T.H. seeds heavy duty fruity currently just growing their first true set of leaves
2x T.H. seeds dark star same size age as the HDF
3x serious seeds white russian clones, currently 4" inch high
2x big buddha cheese clones, currently 4-6" high

also currently CCOB training 1 big buddha cheese jus to get some basic LST knowledge, and also to take some clones from so i can try out the aerocloner ive just bought.

seeds germing: 1x kushage, 1xburmese kush, 1x auto ak47xblueberry, and was 1x Auto NL, the G13 newstrain freebie with the attitude birthday promo freebie but after 6hrs in a paper towel it just turned to mush.
All been in paper towel til they had 5mm shoots then into coco n propagator, currently having a bad failure rate with seeds may just be because they have all recently been freebie seeds from seedbanks??
Seeds going into germ this week: 13 different strains that i cant remember off the top of my head but will update as they go in.

EDIT: Also am thinking of swapping from coco back to soil as currently have not had a single healthy plant in coco yet, might be im crap(likely possibility) or might just be it isnt suited to a cold loft with freebie seeds(equally likely) whereas ive been pulling 3+oz a plant in soil with only a fortnights vegging time for over 3 years previously and keeping em green and luscious till the very end and its been killer smoke, knocking me on my arse many a time and ive been smoking for over 15 years.

Is coco very adaptable to colder temps or does it really hinder the plants growth and health? Seems to me that soil is a lot better at coping with most situations, but i may be wrong again.

All I want is to get my tent full again like when i was growing in soil, since ive been in coco ive had at most 4 plants in the tent at any one time due to plants just magically dying or just stopping growing altogether, ive looked over everything in my grow, temps,ventilation, light etc etc and the only thing that has changed is moving to coco and canna A+B nutes(used bio-bizz when i grew in soil with fantastic results) and of you more experienced lads wanna offer up an opinion? im quite willing to accept im crap at attempting coco jus dont know why
alreet saerimmner, your name still confuses me, not hard tho haha for some rerason it reminds me of having a ruby murray searing rimm !? fuck i shouldnt smoke this early in the day. anyway.

so what are your top and low end temps man? how much are you feeding are you a hand watering man? are you letting the coco dry, i found that watering as little as possible and more often. ie. letting it nearly totally dry boosted my growth rate, reckon its more air to the root. as coco is like lazy mans hydro really its inert. how did you flush after the burn, what feed have they had since?

to be honest looking at the pics you were on for a cracking run the stalks on them look like they were well healthy prior to whatever happened? the lad must have OD'd them kanny hard if this is like 2 weeks after? or 1 whatever .

when we had loads of snow over the xmas i noticed that my vegging girls practically slowed to a crawl but in flower i didnt really notice much difference maybe 10-15% less if that. 2 600's will keep your garden going in -5 outside ne bother.

end of the day you know your good with soil if it aint working out coco go back.

also having that many different strains on the go your going to find it hard to pinpoint any 1 reason.

reckon a cold loft aint helping you mate, free seeds arent always all that, go 6-7 litre pots n feed hesi every other day i say........or fuck it and go back to soil........nah dont give up

temps stay at dead on 72 when lights on and drop to about 60 something lights off, they were getting 4ml A+B n 1.5ml of PK13/14 and were green and healthy till that night gayboy nuked em, after that gave em 4-5days of just water to try and flush the crap out, then started em on 1/4 strength nutes 1st day of feeding, 1/2 2 days later, 3/4 a week later and full strength over the last 4-5 days, they have got a lot of their colour back compared to a fortnight ago but still obviously gna be a crap yield.
8 weeks 2 days old and im not sure whther to leave them or just chop em and start with the next lot?

Also with rootriot plugs, everytime i try germin a seed in them they jus rot and turn to mush, anyone else have this problem?

I use them m8. The trick is to squeeze all the moisture out. U get some seeds that get a little furry root. But nothing to worry bout

yeah did try squeezing them out a bit but then either the poisture in the propagator soaks em again or if they stay squeezed out slightly then just nothing happens with the seeds, ive still got 1x white russian seed in a rootriot from over a month ago with no sign of life from it yet

Do you pop them before putting them in the cube
have tried germing em in paper towel then into cube and they either grow down into the cube and die before ever breaking the surface or it seems the root retracts back into the shell and its exactly the same result if i dont pre-germ them, have even tried buying new root riots in case they were tainted or something but exact same results with new cubes

15c ok for a light out temp like mines a little higher but im in a bedroom. how many plants you got under what watt ? lookin at the pics i reckon your not going to be too far off a kanny yeild, its obviuously not going to be what it was but i dont think your doing owt wrong. your plants were at the right stage to be gettign a big feed of PK this lad must have fucking gone for it with the nutes.

root riots are kanny but i only use them for cuttings. peat pellets are just a good but messier
