much appreciated marlo, respect :thank you:




OKAY after relooking over my thread I realized how much I haven't actually explained about the process. So I modified my schedule that I keep for myself so everyone can understand it. The ppm is an estimate and guideline for me so that next time I can adjust and dial the strain in further. Hopefully this helps some people out that are wondering about coco & flood n drain.

___________________________________________

To start off, I always flush my coco regardless of it being prewashed or not, liquid fish + piranha @ 5.8. I change my rez's once a week, and flush through the top with a/n piranha for the first 2 weeks, and liquid fish for most of flower. 50/50 ro/tap water the entire time. I believe the success with coco flood n drain is the weekly flushes. salt buildup is coco's arch enemy (and underwatering). I shoot for 5.8 - 6.1 ph, anywhere in there and they will do fine. they get flooded once a day for the first 2 weeks then after that its 2 x a day. some plants drink more, and if they need it ill go to 3x +

yup looks tastey.
the best cola strain i have grown is chem4
as soon as it roots in cloner FIM them and a week veg and watch the forearm buds grow.
easy to feed, resistant to PM i learned, clones so easy, grows super fast no lag time ever. always frosty and dank. if ya want a big yeilder but killer smoke i rec. that one. i can only imagine the sea of spears you will create.

sounds great smokalot! although i'm not trying to take on any more strains or do any more experimenting, ill keep it in mind for the future. my blue moon rocks puts off great colas, its just sour grapes that barely yields.

and about the eagle20, I have looked into it already, and it is illegal to use in California, the website specifically says it wont ship to California..... so I'll stick with the sulfur burner and SNS fungicide in veg, it worked great. thanks for lookin out though!

I think that if I keep the room clean and organized I can concentrate more on the girls and dialing in their nutritional needs

Just don't keep the light too close or overfeed, or let the salt buildup - three things that reduce the frost big time IME
