Day 16 for my G14 and after a nervous start she seems to be picking up steam in the last 4 days. I ordered a dimmer for the
HLG-65 and that seems to have helped, I think the light was just a little too intense for her in the beginning. I should have known better, with everything I have going on underneath, her leaves are 15” from the light. I hope that mistake doesn’t come back to bite me.

You have given me hope with your plant growth timeline Obi-Wan. Mine are still just wee things after 8 days above. My experience with bagseed is making me nervous. Bagseed grows faster at the beginning.
 
GG# 4 is the official entry. I have two others that look much better but i'm gonna use them in my new grow. So shes lounging in her swing, suntanning..im the cabana boy..lol I'm still trying to figure out this coco medium..im used to a more soil/dense material so i cant get into a groove with water schedule..i think im just gonna go by weight for a while and see how that works.

homegrown ,coco is one medium that you dont have to worry about how much you water I have my girls set up on a auto watering system and I feed them 6 times a day ,now if you dont go that way you will need to flush your plants about every 4 weeks ,read the tutorial from gwe
 
Its freaking cold here outside grow room was 41 yesterday morning room stayed over 60 but I did adjust the timer on the exhaust fan so it only runs for 30 mins twice a day ,

Does anyone know a good way to heat a reservoir water temp up , My water temp is between 40 and 50 degrees to cold in my mind, I have quite a few air pumps if I hook up 3 or 4 and push warm air through them maybe any thoughts please
 
I have not tried it but, take 2 metal plates spaced about 1/4 inch apart, attach a power cord and drop it in water, plug it in and watch the heat happen. This is an old collage trick I read about for making hot water in the dorm, by the way do not touch it while plugged in, respect the power!
 
Why not get a fish tank heater and put that in your reservoir? Might need two, but think they are thermostatically controlled
 
I use aquarium heaters in my reservoir. They sell them rated based on how many gallons they are rated to keep warm. Just set your desired temperature and the heater does the rest.
 
I'm playing with Coco, too. And yes it's weird how the water just falls right out. It's lighter when soaked then a moderately dry cup of soil.

I've been feeding half strength nutrients and water in little sips either several times a day when I think about it while playing in my closet and tent.

But it's still small enough to not get wilty if I forget.

Yesterday, I set it in a jar lid and let it sit in the runoff which got soaked up by this morning.
 
thanks oldjarhead100 i'm gonna go back and do some reading. So, with your auto water system, is the coco always wet? OR just damp? And do you have run-off as its watering or is it just enough water to keep it damp?
 
Here's my current lineup; 2 seedlings and 4 clones. Although a bunch of the clones are just passing thru as part of the clone along.

homegrown I'm not really a coco guy, I prefer both DWC and soil. I really find coco to be too much day to day work. The solo cup grow was just an excuse to try a bunch of stuff to see how it went.. And this is my first time doing coco since my first grow, when I did a coco and a DWC plant. Since then, I've come to prefer how you can really not water for several days at a time.

Which is to say I don't really know if this is a good way to do this. I do kinda drench the plant, I top feed half strength noots, and I'm working my way up to full strength because that's what Mr.furley said he's doing. But since I can't water her multiple times per day, I have her sitting in a plastic mason jar cap , with her run off until she soaks it up, most of the time. So it's sort of a combination of top feeding and bottom soaking. I also let her have some dry off time. I try to water again before she gets wilty, though. I'm just feeding DWC grow nutrients (which is why I don't mix it full strength) as I mix up my buckets.

DingusKhan alot of unused nutrients wash out of your plant with the runoff if you let it suck up the run off your putting all that waste right back into your plant and your roots will suffer for it
