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

Well i flushed the Dinamex and the runoff is still acidic. Should i flush again? I bought an EC meter finally, so that should give me a better idea of whats up ( when it arrives). Itll help me on the next grow avoid the issues Ive had. Also got the microscope ordered as well as poultry bags , which Im going to use instead of jars.

WOW that's lookin picture perfect from my side. You've done an excellent job tending to your plants JayGee and it shows. I'd be very pleased if they were mine. I'm not sure what poultry bags are? Do tell :)
 
This part of the plant's life cycle is fun and challenging for me to manage. The plants are literally preparing themselves and the ground beneath them, for death and to pass on their genetics to their offspring.

Like Mr.furley said above...Some of that leaf curl is the plant consuming energy from it's leaves and pushing it into the bud sites. I starve them at the end, believing that the plant's stress hormones kick in and drive the intergenerational survival genes to feed the buds. My pH often plummets at the end, (DWC), and when I change to straight water it'll continue to drop, so I don't think you can wash the acidity completely away (how acidic were they BTW?)

I'd stop with one wash, the experienced coco folks might have a better opinion.

That's a full tent. :)
 
Here's a pic of inflow ph and runoff from each plant. I realize the strips arent the most precise, lol.

Good to know. You see em all nice and green, so when that happens its unerving.
Get a 4x4 for 4 plants they said. A 5x5 would be better lol. I think ill try 1 or 2 next time. The Chemdogging seems like i could fill the tent with it alone if it could spread out.
 
You think? My microscope wont be here until next week lol. I thought id have at least 75 days(like the breeder estimate) , though likely longer because I Lst'ed it.
 
It will be fine if you wait a week, but at my house that plant would have been flushed, sampled, and possibly be hanging.
Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing.

My humidity has been hanging around 48%. Should I try and get it to the mid to lower 40s ? I have a dehumidifier
 
Oh I see yes never heard those hanging racks call chicken bags. I bought one and never used it gave it away cause it was so big heck it hung 6ft. I must of not read the size before I clicked the button. Have fun
 
You have two pairs of scissors and a little jar of grain alcohol to clean them in the harvest tool kit?

Looks like you'll need 'em.
 
Well im not sure what to do. My dehumidifier warms the room up to 26-27c (79-81f) and even a bit more when it's warm out, though the humidity drops to 42-45%. Without it, temps run 21-24c , but the humidity hangs around 48%. Doesn't help that we've been getting rain lately....

27c is pushing it for flowering, but the humidity is more ideal. Is 4% humidity going to make that much of a difference?
 
When I run my hands through the canopy and there`s no wet leaves, I know my ventilation and air movement are adequate, but possibly not ideal . If your`s pass that test, you don`t have to worry too much about bud rot. IMO you`re not getting much advantage from the dehumidifier.

Budshots are from the front row, the Dinamex and Chemdogging #1.

Back row is Chemdogging #2 and the Northern Cheese Haze.

Dehumidifier seems ok at night ( low outside temps, so the exhaust fan can actually remove heat). Climbed over 27c this afternoon so I turned it off.
