Well I'm back its been about 3 years since I left and deleted my account. Well I got a new 20x36x62 inch veg tent with a 2ft 4 bulb t5 in there. For Flower I have my old 400 watt hps air cooled in a 32x32x63in tent filtered of course. This time around I will be trying out most of the line of Fox farm line including there 3 part liquid and 3 part powder and sledge hammer for flushing as well as some other myco stuff whose name is escaping me right now. Growing a wide range of genes as I am trying to find the best for myself, my brother who has cancer and a close friend with crohns disease. So far we have 1 World of seed NL x Bigbud, 2 Romberry from freedom of seeds , 1 CH9 jack 33, 1 Emerald triangle seeds Blueberry headband, A freebie Afgahni no1 and a white rhino x hashplant from a good friend but its looking like it might not make it. Also have more seeds set to come tuesday Some vanilla kush from barney's, some Pure AK and Bubblegummer from female seeds, Crystal Meth from Dr Underground(Destroyer cross cant wait to try this) as well as some green house White rhino. Also another freebie NLxBB from WOS and 2 free Bigbud#2 seeds. I think I will pop a few more and get my count up to 12 as I want to flower 9 females so we shall see how it all goes. Will get some pictures when I can. Questions or comments appreciated.


Forgot about medium. Growing in a mix of 50% coco, 25% Black magic generic soil and 25% perilite.

Here Is a shot of the girls

The rhino has plant it the weakest with the head band not looking so great right now either. The rest not so bad. except the one romberry has a leaf that looks a little off. I think it may be over watering any advice?


No feeding yet so I doubt its nute burn.

Thanks for stopping by

Well the vanilla kush and white rhino are looking great just put them in cups tonight along with the pure AK but its looking a lil iffy but we shall see. The Bubble gum should be ready in the morning or by the time I get out off work. Sadly the Crystal meth has cracked but not even a tail yet hoping it will be a late bloomer.

Well they are coming along nicely except for the afgahni which I think i may cut down in a few days.

First up a group shot.


Littler closer on the left in the back left the afgahni to the right the jack 33. Front left is romberry and front right is nlx big bud and the cup in the middle right is another romberry




And the group on the right starting in the back left we have the white rhino x hashplant, to the right is some bubble gum, and back right is some blueberry head band growing retarded.In the middle we have some pure ak, to the right is ghs whiterhino and in the front left is the big bud#2 freebie and the front right is vanilla kush looking very light.



Everything is looking so much better since I have been properly PHing the water since right out the tap its 7.8. I ph to about 6.2 since i am running half coco and part soil.

Finally I completed my flower tent where the new gals will bloom. The phat filter hooked up to the valueline fan in the back sucks a lot of air and is pretty darn quiet.


Not sure why the pics aren't bigger but just have to click them to view full sized.

Need to get some new shots the ladies or hopefully so are looking great. So far I know one of my romberrys the bubble gum and the vanilla kush are all confirmed ladies. The jury is still out on the rest but the nl x bb is looking good and likely fem so is the jack 33 just have to wait and see. Sadly may have to delay my flower for a little while due to having to get some work done around the house and want to keep stink to a minimum. pics will come up soon.

Hi and thanks for starting a thread; i'm in the front row on this one. I'm starting a coco grow after being a soil grower all my other grows and I was wondering why you mixed soil with your coco? I've been reading coco threads and it seems to point to either soil or coco rather than mixing it but yours sure look nice. Isn't it harder to figure out the nute requirements if I add my organic soil with amendments rather than straight coco with min. amendments (roots organic)?

Well it started with a whim. when I had been at my old place I spent and still do spend about 4 hours a day on here reading and researching and after reading all about coco I thought I'd give it a try. I had some black magic soil from big lots with peat and perlite as my base and I just got two big bricks from htg and hydrated it and mixed it in. I find i get a good mix of bennifits like the salts have a chance to get in the soil and slowly leeched from the coco around it. It give great growth and great oxygen supply. soil seems to help with moisture so I can water ever 3 or so days right now. I just transplanted a week ago and already have roots poking out the bottom.

My current mix is about the same as what I started with. I took two large bricks of coco hydrated them mixed in 18 quarts of perlite and tops of with black magic and mixed thoroughly. Still trying to peg proper ph but between 6-6.2 seems to be working well. I havent wanted to go full coco just because of the watering and extra care that comes with it.
