Looking good bro! Nice dark lush growth, cant wait for this.

Do you think you'll need to veg for much longer? With 30 (am I right?) plants under 2X1000's you wouldnt want to veg them huge would you? I've tried growing big arse trees before but I was running like 4 under a 1000. I did 20 under a 1000 once (similar to what your doing) and no training etc just straight little christmas trees, and I switched them at 12" tall in around 2 gals of soil each, and I pull about an O and a half each.

Oh and I hope you meant 18hr light, not darkness?

As for the run off. I had the same issue so I put hydroton in the saucers so the bags werent sitting directly in the run off. Then I find that every day the run off has dissapeared (roots have grown through and reached it) and so I water every day.

I dont know alot about coco, but Ive learnt watering more often is good, like daily sorta thing.

Yea, I'm going for a proper veg... it is 30 girls and right now I only have 1 light fired up.... I am going to transplant to 3 gallon buckets this weekend and will need to fire up the second light. I think I will flip it to 12/12 maybe week 6 - 8 depending on how well they mature in the next couple of weeks.... I will be training the taller ones to get the lower nodes going so I can get a fat canopy on the SOG once they start taking off... looks like u got your coco going, i've been stopping by every once in awhile.... Good stuff

I have to agree after fucking around with greencure, sns 244, neem, azatrol, sulfur burner etc 30-45% RH and 65-75f Night/Day temp still PM shows its face. I finally gave in to Eagle20 and its to early to tell from what I've seen it should finally put a stop to it.

But your girls are looking great make sure to water often!

I just finished my 2nd coco grow and I can't see my self changing mediums anytime soon. You'll love it.

Wat it do yall? Back with a few more pix... Canopy started really filling up under one light so I decided to fire up the second and space em out. They are also really starting to stretch so I snapped the tops over 90 degrees so I wouldn't have to raise the lights causing even more stretch. I will be adding bushmaster too to stop the stretch very soon.

Here's one for your laughing enjoyment... This one would not grow at all until this week... At least it came back, I was about to just throw this one in the backyard.

I'm just sitting in for the read cause I'm new to coco too but gotta say thats a sweet garden you got going. Mine aren't near as strong as your stalks look but I started putting them out in the sun so maybe that's the answer.

Wat it do, there looking happy and green but using coco myself I have come to a few conclusions. When repotting allow the coir to dry out for the first couple waterings not completely dry though. When flushing never flush with straight ph water, you still want an ec of 600. And would definitely flip those plants now, they really don't need such a long veg time under your light setup. Excellent grow by the way. P.s get some drip clean too



Peace

They were pretty dry when I transplanted last week. When I do flush, i normally still add root xl and cal mag. what do you mean by flip? to flowering? yes, they are flowering right now.

what is drip clean? like a "clearex" for coco?

thanks for the tips

They're starting to bud up... looking healthy... will have pics up soon when I get back my camera. Don't trust using my smartphone for things of this nature even if it is completely legal.

I think I'm out of server space for my pictures... Might be why my last pictures of my deficiency did not show.... Please show me how to do the gallery thing instead of these huge ass pics...

My grandfather has just passed away on friday night so i would like to know if you think that this would be appropriate for a "mother's day" card tomorrow (sunday) i only have a few hours to revise, please advise....

Dear Grandma,

You have touched your grandchildren’s lives more than you can ever understand. I love you so much and I cherish the moments that we have had, moments that we will have, and the moments that I will always remember you by. You have taught me to be a kind and loving man in the image of God and that lesson in life is irreplaceable. Please don’t be sad that Grandpa has passed but be happy that he has gone to God and saved a place for you right beside him in the kingdom of heaven. He was an inspiring man as you have been an inspiring woman. I will cherish every moment that we have together as I have always done. You are the reason that I will love everyone unconditionally before I love myself. You are the definition of someone that cares more for others than you care for yourself and that is a trait of character that is far and between when looking for anyone to have the love of your family as much as God does for his children. I have always loved you, will continue to love you, and will always love you.

Happy Mother’s Day,
Your Grandson

need help/advice about an A/C question....

So when my AC blows, it blows cold but it will only do this for maybe 6-8 hours on a good day... after that point, it seems as if the fan will blow at a lower speed. There is not much air after that point coming out of the vents. This happens everyday... I would let it blast 24/7 if i could but I have to let the AC stay off an hour or two before I can turn it back on.

I have been looking around threads on the web about this problem... some say it could be a refrigerant leak, low refigerant, or the blower is out. Don't really want a tech in the house.

Any ideas?

*** I am currently running just the fan for now to see if it is the blower ***
