What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[Old1stTimer]

My very first Coco grow in 1gal fabric pot. Is there anyone here that uses FF Trio and Calimagic in Coco? I have a 3 day old seedling in 70/30 Coco/Perlite and no idea if i should feed what/when/and how much?? Anyone with similar grow/medium/nutes you can share a schedule with a 1stTimer?

[403grower]

I don’t use ff nutrients. But I feed my seedlings what’s scheduled for first week of veg but only at about 1/4 strength of what’s stated till it starts taking off 2 or three growth nodes and I switch to week one feed schedule also a coco grower. Gotta remember coco has no nutrients to offer so you gotta stay on top of it.happy growing

[Retodd]

I’d get at least a 3-5 gal pots. Hell, I’ve got one buddy that grows in a 50 on here...lol. Good luck and good growing

[Old1stTimer]

Thank you for your feedback. Do I use all 4 starting with Calimagic first? And how often per day or per week?

[403grower]

Start with the micro then micro for the first 1/4 feeding for about a week. Then micro and And grow for the 4 weeks of veg along with cal magi of course then the grow and bloom for the flower. I start my seedling watering with 1/4 cup and water about every two days depending on pot weight and go up from there as she starts drinking more. For the record I start my seedlings in a solo cup though so not sure how the pot size will affect thee amount of water u feed her. I like my coco to pretty much dry out before I feed again. Coco is awesome like that provides a lot more oxygen for yourself roots if you don’t soak it

[403grower]

So for the fox farm nutes your likely just starting veg with the grow big bottle. 1/4 strength. Start with 1/4 cups and work your way up.

[403grower]

Not sure how much of that made sense I just got off work.

[Old1stTimer]

Lol lol get some rest and reiterate your reply when u feel up to it. I myself need to sleep for work tomorrow. But I will be back

When transplanting seedlings from fluro globe set up to main system with 600 W HPS globes, what's the best way to 'baby' them along? half strength nutrient? reduce wattage of HPS globes via digital ballists? I'm having significant trouble working this part of the process out. Cannot find a detailed write up of how to best manage this part of the process. Please help.

[Retodd]

Yanus When you’re transplanting make sure you soak your soil a few minutes before taking it from it’s smaller container to the next. One thing I should suggest is to use the paper cups to start them. You’re able to use the 4oz cups and put them directly into the larger bag, etc and they’ll decentigrate into the new soil. 👈🏻 I know I spelled it wrong...lol.
Good luck

If using distilled water in super soil along with kelp and sea weed extract is cal-mag needed?

[Retodd]

I use distilled water the whole time and will use calmag through my entire grow, along with terpinator. Good luck

[Farmall]

Willyd you should use just spring water and leave the components of the active soil to do their job naturally. The greatest benefits of your medium is that it is complete as -is. Do NOT over water. It is EASY TO OVERWATER. This will cause pre-mature yellowing of your foliage weeks later. Any of the producers of living soil, especially Kindsoil, will adamantly tell you ‘ NOTHING BUT WATER’

by the way, distilled water may have high concentrations of metallic compounds depending on how this water was processed. Spring water is , well....from a spring

[Old1stTimer]

Why would pistils start turning amber before the buds are fully developed?

[FunkyButtLovin]

Pollination or damage seems to cause them to change color early. There could be other things but I do know those 2 things can cause it. Have you brushed against them or laid your hand/arm on a cola and squished 'em or anything? I've done that many times and the jacked up pistils will generally darken soon after.

[alltatup]

FunkyButt's right: Touching the bud in formation will mess up the trichomes. I've done that because my grow space constricts my movements

[Old1stTimer]

She's actually stunted to the point of being a bonsai maybe that's why? This was my first lol and Yeah im sure I may have brush her with my arm during watering

[Old1stTimer]

Im back! And took your advise and added some and cut some but thank you nevertheless for your help. The two smallest up front are the Coco/Perlite grow.

[Bluntmankiller]

[SoOrbudgal]

That must be a clone or ??? pretty big for 1wk old but anyway to soon to tell. Ahh the lights may want to raise them make her stretch up. I'm thinking that's more than a week old eh?

[Bluntmankiller]

1 wk old ww,vegged. Is it possible to tell gender by fillness of leaves? Or do i have to wait for pre flowers to find out. First time grower.

[FunkyButtLovin]

If it's a clone you or whoever cut it should know the sex by now. If it's from seed it's older than 1 week but I still can't tell the gender from the pic. It looks good and strong though for sure whatever it is.

[alltatup]

You may have to wait till flower, but why would someone give you a cutting of a male plant? Doesn't make sense...

[Bluntmankiller]

Its actually 2weeks and its from seed, this is secound attempt, first attempt wound up being a hemorphidite. Which i let grow now i have seeds galore, thats why i inquire..they were supposed to be fem seeds. I dont want to put a lot of love in this for naught...thanks for all replies.

[Bluntmankiller]

Oh yeah, i raised the lights to give her some height, thanks for the tidbit..grow and learn..

[FunkyButtLovin]

I'm too scared to click on that.

[alltatup]

I did: it's a secure website.... Or are you scared you'll spend all your money? ;-}

So here's another update on Coco grow:
Been feeding these two girls with nutes everyday since first true set of leaves and she has the most amazing looking leaves I will never grow in soil ever again!

[alltatup]

Don't let 'em get root bound: they're outgrowing those containers, aren't they? They look gorgeous, though!!!
