1st grow, 4 weeks later

[JSH1973]

This growing thing is just so much fun, I'm definitely officially addicted :smile:
4 weeks ago today on October the 6th I dropped my very first seeds into a glass of water... And here is what they look like today:laugh:
Disregard the one in the wellie, seed was dropped in water on the 16th October and she is Afghan, all the others are Northern Lights x Big Buds

​​​​​A couple I have left alone except from a bit of defoliation and others I have Fimmed, Topped, Trained and also broken a few bit off in my learning as you do, nothing has died yet LOL

Definitely have kept em short and fat like we like em. Good job I don't see a fan make sure you keep some airflow in there, another week or two you'll be ready for their switch to 12s and that's when the test begins lol I say that because one of the biggest mistakes of a rookie is harvesting early so the test is on your patience 🤪 the smell will make you want to cut em down to try a puff.

There's the 6 inch AC Infinity Extraction Fan with a Phresh Carbon filter, a 29 inch oscillating tower fan, a 6 inch static Sealey fan and a 4 inch USB/solar powered fan in there, you just don't see them in the picture
These are all autos going on 24/0 light so no switching to 12/12 needed, I'll try photos in a later grow but decided to stick with autos in the beginning while I learn the Coco and Nutes regimes properly.

👍perfect I just didn't see a fan and alot of people have had to fight wpm and lost their shit to bud rot this year. I don't do coco so can't help you out there (doesn't look like you need any) that's even more impressive being coco on a 1st try I've heard it's less forgiving than soil more like Hydro. Being autos you should be seeing flowers soon... have fun and good luck 🌲😎

JSH1973 Nice work!

I’m about a week ahead of you on my first indoor grow in Coco. The nutes part gets me confused as I likely overthink it. Heh.

Been following GWEs drain to waste nutrient schedule and things are going well. However, I just saw a Coco nute schedule on GWE that’s basically double the amount of nutes.

im curious what you’re feeding...

I’m using the week 3 1/2 tsp per gallon but the coco schedule calls for 1 tsp per gallon.

I'm using Canna nutrients only (and white wine vinegar for PH Down) and measure everything in L/ml but I'm at about 30ml of Canna A+B which is 75% of what the Canna nute schedule recommend, I started out with Canna Start and Canna Rhizotonic and then later starting adding the A+B building up the dose as I was lowering the Start/Rhizotonic.
My tap water is about EC 250 and I add Canna CalMag to up it to 350/400 every other watering or so, about 3-5ml, I'm not sure if they actually needs it but a little hopefully won't harm.
I water to 25/30% run off practically every time I water, I know it is possibly a bit of waste but I'm better in control of the nutes that way I believe, later on with more experience I'll most likely adjust that practise as Canna nutrients aren't the cheapest.
