COCO COIR Frankie Goes To Hollywood

[SoOrbudgal]

I thought you meant that seedling was dead stalled dampered off? Now i see it was just " diggin in " yes mine will think about setting roots slowly sometimes. Your plants are really taking off now, all look great

 

[Bluey]

You need to manage these closely...I didn't buffer the reused coco and probably didn't give it enough calmag from the start....no flushes either. They change leaf symptoms fast these. Can take more nutes than I thought too. They have a bit mire node spacing than I'd hoped on the autos but should be good to top and clone the photo...ive let it go along way..normally would have topped 3 weeks ago.
This evening I have had to mix a new 1ltr foliar spray EC 0.2 pH 6 5, 2trs veg nutes for photo 1.4 EC base to 1.6 w/calmag 6 pH w/silica 2.5ml/ltr, 15ltrs veg nutes + 2.5 ml/ltr silica to 1.5 EC + bloom nutes to 1.7 EC + calmag to 1.9 EC pH 6.1, adjusted lights up again,
One of my sativas popped so stuck it in coco and gave it 0.4EC straight away, reticle had done a tight small 360⁰ turn..I don't give it much chance, regular seed SoOrbudgal
Lifted the mutant to 32 PPFD. Sprayed all with foliar spray, plucked off the lower leaves, removed the training ties on the lower bud branches hoping to get them more light now. I don't have many leaves on these to pluck and they are showing signs of deficiency but still pushing them with good light 39 to 44 DLI
Recalibrated the temp & RH sensors on the automation.
Fingers crossed.
Oh. And I fed them all too.

 

[Bluey]

Mutant loving more light, and to think I almost chopped this one. Looks fine but a bit light green. Giving it heaps of nutes.

Autos chugging along

 

[SoOrbudgal]

That's good new and great save

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

They look really happy and healthy. Though...I do see the tips of those leaves.... Heat stress only or are you on the precipice of nutrient burn?

 

[Bluey]

Tips tend to point down if anything on all but the mutant. Maybe too much watering on them. Dunno No3odiesShad0w Temps are conservative. The mutant I think is just a bit behind at the start on root growth and isn't taking up N as well as the others.

Pics below of the Orange Zkittles x Sour Diesel EC 1.6 pH 6
Franklin this really is a beautiful looking plant. Check out the blues on the leaf tips of the new growth and the larger leaves. A real winner


Below the autos EC 1.9 (40% Veg 40% bloom 20% cal/mag 1.0.1) pH 6.1 and seedling, still growing, put on another 5mm across..maybe..still no 2nd leaf EC 0.5 pH 5.95



I need to do some work on the autos. Stretch slowing time for a haircut. Any suggestions welcome.

 

[Bluey]

Hot off the press.

The first of the sativas has broken through. It's the only one germinated so far...maybe 15 days on papertowel so far.
It's looking a bit faded so I gave it a calmag foliar spray...lol
It's reticle has done a full 360⁰ turn before planting. If it makes it I bet it's a male

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Looks like she's got 9 to 11 leaflets on each leaf. That's one happy, healthy plant with plenty nutrients in reserve..... I'm curious to see the flower on this one. She's going to have a lot of power going into bloom.

 

[Bluey]

The sativa but its struggling. EC 0.4 PPFD 250

The WW x SD has grown its second pair so we threw a party EC 0.5 PPFD 300

And the rest...time to get the auto fertigation and tank setup with the flowering nutes for the 4 autos...veg EC 0.6 bloom EC 1.0 calmag 1.0.1 EC 0.3 + silica DLI 38 to 44 & photoperiod OZ x SD EC 1.6 DLI 34

Autos appear to have slowed right down. Look quite healthy. I was surprised that they had quite a large node spacing.

 

[Bluey]

Autos have put on another growth spurt. DLI 45. Trying to retard the stretch. Lights lifted again. Flowers coming on good now, not just the preflower pistols so should be able to drop the last little bit of veg out completely next mix. There's enough N in the Calmag & flower nutes to keep them happy I think. Can lift my lights about 12 more inches.
Edit. Will add in my far red & IR light bars once I'm sure stretch has finished...

 

[Pyrokill]

Awesome grow. Foliage looks mint. They like how you treat them for sure.

 

[Bluey]

Coming along. There's a hair in my bud.

And the WW x seedling has found a third pair. And the sativa is thinking about a pair of leaves....just...might change its mind.

 

[Bluey]

Supercropped the tallest one, just the main stem.

Only required a few gentle squeezes and it just fell over, but it split length ways, bummer.

 

[Rootsruler]

Do you tape the wound if it opens up like that?

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Might not hurt to tape it so nothing creeps in ?

 

[Ckbrew]

Not a problem, just tape it up, I use blue painter tape. It will grow out just fine.

 

[Bluey]

Yep. Teflon this one and she's already turned back up but it should stop the stretch

And one I did a couple of weeks back, the chemically topped mutant, no tape, just support. Split down the middle at the node as usual when topped too close to the node.

 

[Mollisol]

I'm sure you will be fine.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

I'm trying so hard not to break any branches. so far only 1 broke on the blue dream everything else is going well but man! that Tangie doesn't want to bend. That stalk hard like a tree trunk.
