COCO COIR JayGee's First Grow Journal. Here we go!

Day 30!

Noticed a tiny bit of nute burn on the Dinamex and Chemdogging #1. I diluted the nutes a bit ( from 3mls/litre) down to 2.5mls/litre. Hopefully it doesn't get worse. The other 2 seem fine?

I don't have a ppm meter. Ill get one for next grow to moniter ec. Ill just pay attention to the plants and keep the strength to ~3/4 recommended dilution, especially since I'm using tap water.
 
D32 .

Snapped another branch on the Dinamex ffs. My last repair went well so im hopeful it'll heal. Otherwise the nute burn seems to have not gotten worse, just that they've grown a couple inches ( necessitating a raise on the lights again).

Humidity has been tougher to control though. Plants also seemed/felt drier and not as pliable as before. Am i imagining it, or do they get less 'soft' as they approach flowering?

Day 34.

These girls are stretching! Ive had to raise the lights a couple times a day to keep the lights 24" away.

You can see the nute burn on the Dinamex ( front, left side) but it hasnt worsened.

How much longer do you think I should go on veg nutes? A week or less?

Do you feed them nutes every watering? If not - then - give them plain water, or mix a tea blend if you use that. I feed my plants nutes/nutes/tea or molasses.

Or don't.

Start them on bloom next watering. Pistils are shooting up - preflowers are full-on, so help them bloom with what you have for them.

They look very nice. Color could be a deeper green for my liking, but they're not my plants.

Switched to bloom nutes. AN recommends 4mls per litre. Ill start with 2.5mls per litre and gauge their response.

Jaygee looking good, certainly growing quickly, doing an autumn winter grow here outdoors. The Coco must have good drainage and the fabric pots are good for airation of the roots
 
D38.

Nothing much to report, other than the fact that theyre needing more and more every 12 hours to achieve runoff. Might be worth trying to fertigate 3x a day?

Also not sure why the one Chemdogging seems much further along? Genetics? Air movement?

I increased the light to 300w from 285w. At this point, is it safe to increase it daily by 20-30w and get it up to max draw? Or should i go a little slower?
 
D42

I turned it up to max ( well actually about 96% of max). It's drawing 480w from the wall, fully cranked it pulls 500w according to my 'killawatt'. So far so good. Its 24c(75f) at the top of the canopy lights are ~ 22" above, ill try not to let them closer than 20" ( though i hear some have gone as close as 18"). Ill play it on the safe side since it's my first grow.

D44. There doesn't seem to be signs of too much light ( taco'ing, burining edges etc) and they keep growing.

Are we there yet?! Lol

My lights are oriented left to right, yet the plants on the right have a good 1-2" of height on the left. Genetics? More aggressive lst? The Northern Cheese Haze joins the Chemdogging under the back LED and the shorter Chemdogging joins the Dinamex out front.

I noticed some lightening up of the leaves on the Dinamex. Advanced Nutrients told me to increase nute strength. I have been erring on the low end of nute strength ( around 66-70% recommended) but now they can probably take full strength? AN said go up to 90% recommended. If there's no nute burn after 5 days, go up to full strength (4mls/litre). Hopefully it does the trick!

Ive been upping nutes toward the manufacturer recommended bloom strength (4mls per litre). I was at 2.7mls , now up to around 3.8 in the new batch i made (slowly increasing over the past few days). Hopefully that will prevent any further issues.
