COCO COIR First time grow. Thoughts and learnings happily received.

[NewGrower2021]

Hi all. First time grower down in New Zealand. White Rhino strain I believe. Clone so know she's a good girl.

Growing well.
Didn't understand enough to top/fim etc to do all that early in veg so just vegeing with good nutrients etc and thinking of flowering shortly. She's about 12 weeks old.

Photos attached so any advice on how she's looking, advice moving into flowering, better techniques should try next time etc would be gratefully received.
​​​​​​
Done lots of reading but can't eat the experience you all have.

Thanks team

First grow and she’s still looking that green after 12wks...I think you’ll do ok👍🏻

As far as training I recommend trying them all. But then if you listen to me you’ll go get a 2nd tent to veg in, take your clones from this girl to try 4-5 different techniques out next grow, then flip her to 12/12 in a week or two once she grows back out lol

Hello and welcome NewGrower2021 can i please know what size pot she's in and soil and light info? Photo plants are in no hurry it's all up to the grower so even though this plant is 3months old she is still young. Now are you in a hurry cause if your not you could use this plant as a trainer? There's a few tricks you can do without hurting her they are very tough plants.

Noticed you use guano, it is easily available at the store, since bats are everywhere. Although ones here feed on fruits, i have started to use in my grow. Great cal and mag! Also i will be doing my next grow in coco and perlite, do you mix the guano in? Or what method do you use to grow?

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Tedtheclown I have used both dry and liquid. My soil has mixed bat quano & worm casings in the soil i make. I'm using for liquid " fish & guano" from Monterey lawn an garden brand. I don't use to often cause my soil is also enriched organically with those dry ingrediants. Too much causes to much leaf growth, dark green twisty growth.
