โIt's that time again!! โฐ Time for a fresh new grow in a fresh new thread. Like always, going to set up the parameters, full specs list and goals for this grow. This will be an ALL COC COIR GROW! No Peat to be found in sight.๐ The nutrients are all good, but the seedlings are giving me issues (mostly because bad genetics Blimburn ๐คฎ) Let's dive in and the all the deets, shall we?
Genetics Line-up (so far, it's changed 2x already)
My Cross (blue dream x mac1) by TerpyTen
Sour Orange by Super Natural Seeds
Grape Caper x (Sherb Bx x OGX) by Purple Caper Seeds
Birthday Cake by Blimburn
FreakShow by Hi-Elevation Genetics
(Back-up: Purple Punch by b/w Label)
All I have is Ethos. I have about 10 different varieties but all from ethos. I wanted (and still want) to give other breeders a chance. I LOVED the results from Humboldt Seed Co. If I had monies, i would have bought something else from them as well as Elev8 seeds. I'm curious about their Oregon apple trail or something along those lines. Caught my attention but it's a 10pk .....Like....I don't need a 10pk. Same with Square One Genetics. DYING to try something form them but I don't have $100-150 for a 10pk. ๐คทโโ๏ธ I don't see me growing them anytime in the near future.
SOIL COMPOSITION

6 gallons (22.7L) Canna Coco Coir, 4 gallons (15.14L) perlite (# 4 coarse), 2 gallons (7.5L) Fresh Earthworm castings. 3:2:1 ratio
Nutrients: Nature's Living Soil Original formula. 2lbs of fertilizer added to the mix
Watered in with NLS Soil Revival and let sit for a week in about 72 F (22.2 C)
(also tossed some mosquito bits on the topsoil) Never too early to start your IPM
Earthbox # 2
7 gallons (26.5L) of Canna Coco Coir, 3 gallons (11.35L) of perlite 70/30 mix

I'll be using this Feeding schedule. Probably at the medium feed level. I'm going to try to keep my coco between 6.0-6.2pH I have my pH and EC pens at the ready! I will be using the EC scale rather than the PPM scales (since there's 2x) to avoid confusion.
The whole grow is going to be "Water ONLY" (**) with some BIG asterisks. Better phrase would be, "Everything will be Sub-Irrigated" I will only top water ONCE and that's after transplant. Every subsequent watering will be added to the reservoir.
As you can see, everything is ready. Soil is mixed, nutrients are at the ready, seedlings and clones are at the ready, we're just waiting on the Cannatrol to finish the current batch so we can chop down the 2x4 and get started on the next grow. only 28 hours left. Soon, very soon.
