BongRipkenJr's new setup and first time coco grow

[BongRipkenJR.]

Ok, this is my first coco grow. I just set up the 4x8x7' grow tent and I am about to set up another 4x4 grow tent. I am using roots organic soilless coco mix, but thinking about adding some true coco coir in it and washing it thoroughly. I have 2 days to decide what nutrients to use. I was thinking about using the lucas formula with floranectar, but will probably end up using Canna coco or H&G coco A+B.

The strain I am more than likely running in the 4x8 will be Purple Trash(Purple Kush X Trainwreck X Hashplant). I have until tomorrow afternoon to decide. The electrical is getting done tomorrow morning as well. Gonna be running 3 thousand watt lights off of 2-20 amp 240 circuits.



Plant pictures will be up in a couple days and the 4x4 should be up in a few days.

oh yeah. another coco grower. im in there

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

I will have some more pictures up tomorrow or Wednesday. I am pretty excited about coco. I read enough on it to where it doesnt seem so scary now. I remember when I got first got into ebb and flow and had no fear of it. It was easy and had great results, but the coco seems a lot scarier for some reason. I have a hunch that it will yield some good results though.

Ok, I got my electical done so my lights are all ready to run! All I need to do now is get some clones. Not completely sure what I want. I was thinking the Purple Trash. Anybody got any interesting genetics in the sacramento area? Let me know!

New goodies to play with!

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

I still got some more to set up. Wish I could be rocking a monster grow. Seems kind of pointless in today's climate to be running such a small grow, but 3k should be good for about 5 pounds.

that setup is awesome.....im all for the purp trash too....

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Thanks man! I must say, this is also a budget grow. I have been getting everything as cheap as possible. Even the tend was $185 brand new.

 

[GreenLion]

what up...set up looks clean!! i rock coco like a mofo, if ya need a hand let me know.. how many cuts running?. i got a few erkle x diesel if ya want.. Anyways good to see ya getting down!

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Whats up Gmoney! I am gonna need some of those for the 4x4 for sure. I am rocking 18 in the 4x8 and as many as I can fit in the 4x4. Was gonna rock 2 4x8's, but space was a little limited.

I thought you got rid of your account bro. Nice to see you're back! Dude, your coco runs always come out super tasty. Hopefully I get something as good as yours!

 

[GreenLion]

Thanks B Ripper i'll have some cuts waiting for ya fo sho. I like to run 9 per light aswell..would love to show ya how i rock the coco. so if ya need anything its my pleasure.. im sure yours will come out fire no matter what. I was posting on a different site(the canna cabana)for a while and pop in n out of this forum, but delete my accounts for no reason other than being bored with a stale enviroment. peace n take care

Went to work today. A buddy brought me some nice little babies Got 19 Purple Erkle X Sour Diesel that he made himself. Tomorrow or Friday the 9 Purple Trash will go into the other side. I am going to wait about a 3 weeks into flowering to set up the 4x4 tent so I have alternating harvests.

What I know about the Erkle X Diesel:
Can turn purple on ya, moderate yield, stinky and funky, finishes in under 50 days.



Other stuff that has to be assembled

Had a scare at 12:30 in the A.M. The power turned off for about 10 seconds and then came back on. That normally wouldn't worry me, but it was the first day using the new wiring a buddy and I installed. Turns out it was just a power outage and it hit everyone within a few square miles. I am already seeing some good root growth after 1 day and they are as perky as a young Pamela Anderson's tits. I mixed up an ultra light batch of age old grow(190 ppms) and lightly fed them to keep them from yellowing up in the coco. Shit is on track. Now I just need to get the purple trash clones in there.

purp erk x SD sounds awesome....were working with a lot of the same shit lol....purp wreck and SD alone over here..... my purp wreck, i assume should be very similiar to the purp trash u speak of.....i would do it +50 days because thats when the purp just starts 2 show...on mine....8-9weeks for a nice allover purp...probably 7-8 for you with those intense 1000watters....

I have had some buddies rock the purple wreck before. It takes a bit longer than this Erkle X Diesel. The Purple Wreck is hard to get a good yield out of. The Purple Trash however bulks up very nicely! My buddy made the cross I am working with and is a lot different than the Erkle X Diesel crosses that are going around norcal right now. I would typically expect a strain like this to go anywhere from 8-10 weeks, but my friend has rocked it for a couple years now and said it finishes in 45 days for him every time. All I can think is hybrid vigor. I can't wait to see them bulk up!

 

[buddin_904]

45 days...thats fucking awesome!!....wow wish i had a piece of that!....but purple wreck is kind of hard to get a good yield out of....the branches never get sturdy....it does put on weight....but at 4 weeks their falling over and not getting proper overhead light.....the stem is whats wrong with them....this SD cut i recently got has very sturdy stems....looks like it will hold better weight......u said your cut X SD would make it faster....how long should an SD take...i just got this one with no instructions on anything.....going great so far....looking like it will take at least 7-8 weeks

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

My sour diesels have all been somewhat late finishers at around 9 weeks. I have no idea why this Urkle/Diesel cut finishes so early. I really don't. I have had some sour diesel cuts that yielded like a mofo. I had a purple afghan X sour diesel that was a monster yielder! Rippers got to it though. Would of been around the 4 pound range, but finished with a pound after almost all of the plant was taken. Sometimes I have noticed some cuts of the sour D to be a bit fluffy.

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Got some big roots happening in 3 days. From cube to cup I can pick these things up by the stock. Love it!

All of my left over nutes from the 2010 outdoor

My new nutes. Cana Coco A+B, flora nectar. Simple

The room sealed up.

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Coco is a weird one, once it gets dry the plants will yellow up super fast! Give it a light feeding and these little ladies green right up!

Wtf is up with opening the Canna nutrients? That shit was tough! Also, it said 40 milliliters for 2.5 gallons and I gave it 5 milliliters of A and 5 of B with a 3 milliliters of flora nectar and that shit registered at 440ppm. My tap water is only 90 ppm. I couldn't imagine using the full 40 milliliters. The ppms from that would be off the charts! Canna is some concentrated stuff!

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Got some clones today that have to wait until tomorrow to get under a light. I had to make this ghetto reflector over a CFL on a sideways lamp. I think it is quite ghetto fabulous


10 clones of Purple Trash I got today are in horrible shape. They are rooted, but the mother must of had nutrient lockup and was hurting with some mites on it. I will have to quarantine these things with some Liquid Lady bug and a dip in the azetrol. Hopefully they come through.

I got 19 more Purple Urkel X Sour Diesel. 16 are for my buddy and I am keeping 3 larger ones These clones are super solid and lovely!
