400w 1st coco grow.....

[Meraxes]

well i had a transplanting nightmare trying to put the big bud into the cheez it pot. i tipped the cup upside down and tapped it. half the plant falls out. so i threw away the dead roots and syringed some superthrive and ph water on top and around the stem. also removed it from being 2 ft below the MH to lower at about 4 ft to give weaker light for regeneration. transplanting 101 here i come. think it'll pull through?

thats high for tap. can you get bottled water? if your ppm after flush is less than your tap then i'm confused. if you flushed with hot water 2 or 3 times, your probably ready to go. just go to the market and get your self 3 or 4 gal of purified water. that should get you the first 2 weeks with just a 16oz cup of coco.
i have really good tap at 65 ppm. supposedly in the top 5 towns in the country as far as water quality. you might have high salinity in your water

yea it is less than my tap water lol. I am so confused. I am going to try it again right now. I'll get back to you dude. I might have peat not a coco. It says it's for the plant on it. It was really cheap ass too only 1 dollar per brick. should i do flush it with distilled water too? prob it has less ppm in it. Edit- this is how i flushed with tap cold water. i did it for like 5 min and still getting 222 ppm.. Can anyone help me please.. and sorry for adding photo's on your thread Merx..Edit again- I got it blow 50 @!! I used the purified water to flush it. purified water it self was 37ppm.tap water was the problem haha.

there ya go weedss. ready to germ yet? they will do good in that water. that AG light should be fine for the first coulple weeks, then i would mount some extra cfls inside that wardrobe, red spec. when you get a sprout, start a grow log thread so we can help ya bro

 

[weedss]

not yet dude. waiting for Cal-mag nd PH meter. Hey, take a look at my coco(picture above). is that a coco or peat? can't really distinguish it..

sometimes coco is called coco peat. looks like coco to me. dosent it say on the label? if is says its from Sri Lanka its definately coco

 

[weedss]

nah, it's from china. It says on the label, mixing other nutrients would be better lol. that's it tho haha. talk to ya later dude!

give me a close up pic of the package dude. front and back. if theres pictures of palm trees its coco

 

[budleydoright]

sure looks like coir. with coir being as cheap as it is, even the name brands, Seems it would be in our best interest to avoid coir from china. may have melemaine in it!

 

[Meraxes]

allright got my seeds in and started 3 Skunk 44's. these should be interesting since they're predominantly sativa but grow relatively short. they say it grows easy but i'm gonna have to drop a chunk a change on that inline fan combo soon. i'll get some pics in the morrow, i'm a lazy sac o shit right now. dont let the bed bugs bite....

 

[weedss]

what's melemaine ?. and Merx, I am starting my grow sometime next month, some shit happen at my work but I am getting more money tho which i can buy more seeds haha lol. i i i would love to see your skunk's dude!!

 

[budleydoright]

what's melemaine ?

It's the poison they found in baby formula that was imported from china. There's been tainted pet food, tooth paste, toys and the formula. Just imagine the corners that they'll cut with something like a growing medium.

heres the BB post transplant. as you know some of the roots tore on the bottom but starting to see a little new growth. and i have the 3 skunk 44's goin but no sprouts yet.

 

[Meraxes]

also picked up some miracle grow quick start transplanting and starting solution. i know miracle grow dirt isnt popular but hopefully this will help with shock. was only 7 bucks so WTF ya know

 

[weedss]

BB stands for big bang or big bud? I was thinking to buy big bang 10 seeds for 60 bucks at herbies

big bud. 2 out of 3 topskunk 44's sprouted. need to get carbon filter soon because those will stink, but lookin good

 

[weedss]

def dude. u think growing in an coco is actually faster than hydro? can't wait to grow!!

 

[Meraxes]

Shit snow already lol. I'm prob starting on 18th or sooner. Trying to quite my work to grow. I've saved enough money to supplie shits during the grow period. I'am just hoping to smoke my own bud this time haha.. Later dude
edit- mex, do you also have Botanicare's Clearex nd Sweet? would i be going to need this at some point? because i find this deal on ebay clearex nd sweet nd calmag ( 8oz each, which is very small mount) for 18 bucks. what do you think? or just get calmag is good enough?.

 

[Meraxes]

calmag, micro, and bloom should get you through a grow. just make sure you get your testing meters and ph down. dont think i would quit my job if i'm trying to sustain a grow. theres always the unexpected. my experience in life is that the unexpected happens 90% the time

your right. BUT it not just about growing. Kids are driving me crazy lately nd there is too much of work also. will, I want to stay at home for the first month when i start growing, have more time to focus on growing nd watering etc.. and then when i transplant it to bigger pot, fully rooted less time to worry, right? or Am i just stupid lol?. but idk, i still need to find someway to make descent amount of money.. anyway, reading though the seedling thread. seems very tricky some of ya think germ in rapid root is not good because the seeds will have hard time on breaking their shed out of it, many people failed on seedling in coco tho.

Edit- sorry to say this but I don't think there is much things that you can to over here. I've really been asking people that i talk to at my work including american nd stuff. everyone says college is required, all of them was in the ESL teaching program when they were in college. and when you finish the program, their is a person who introduces a place for teaching which why those fucker's are in my country teaching English. they get 2200 bucks per month teaching 11~15 years ago kids, free apt. Don't even need a car because the work place is walk-able from their house. Their were saying that they are saving a small amount of money every month because of don't need to pay for the car rent, no insurance, cheap food nd transportation (taxi nd bus etc..). anything else ya want to know I'll be more than happy to help ya Merx.

Edit- Any updates yet????
