First Time Coco Grower

[Arthritis_sucks]

Your plants arent showing any issues so i wouldnt do anything as of yet. Just make sure ya get run off when ya water an let em dry out till the first half inch of coco looks dry but no more than that. If it is mold its not messin with ur plants as of now an it is probably just on the drainage holes that are exposed to the evaporating run off in the catch saucers.

should I take a test cut?

 

[Arthritis_sucks]

test cut or hold ya off cut lol.......6 is too early for that. maybe wait till end of week 7 atleast to see if she can be pulled that early next run. Imho i would take a test at end of week 8 an let them go 9......dont miss the swell.

 

[Arthritis_sucks]

First Time Coco Grower

Should be finished by now, how about an update?...

 

[pmoney]

I took off all the good top pieces

they are almost dry

 

[pmoney]

left these bottom popcorn nugs to mature but ill prolly cut them tmw

very happy with the quality, not as happy with the quantity
but for as little effort as i put into it, very pleased with the results

what should i do with the trim?

 

[pmoney]

ugh.

ugh.

I left my fresh trim in the sifter box with the lid down for some dumbass reason so now I have this gross grey powdery mold fucking shit all over my trim..

is it still useable or should i just toss it?

I found some on a leaf today as I was finishing up the popcorn

I checked all the buds for it, its really hard to see but I found a couple with a tiny amount and picked it off.

on the bright side the popcorn looks crystally and extra purple

The only processing method that I know of that is acceptable with PM, is a solvent extraction. Not really enough to mess with though, just toss it.
The finished product looks good though. How many days total did you go? With that cut, it can be done by 7 1/2 weeks, but best by 8...
Ready for a couple more clones? I have about 200 in trays right now, that should be ready to transplant in the next couple of weeks...

Re: First Time Coco Grower

Looks like you came a long way since the beginning of your experience. And that my friend is the most important thing. If you look my first hempy run was alot of same circumstances as yours. No fan? Looks like you had a lot better genetics than I had got from attitude. Very nice buds man, I will be lurking to learn coco and where to start . I'm thinking of trying a couple coco hempys. I've only grown In 3:1 perlite:vermiculite since i started a year ago, but coco looks like the way to go. Very nice grow again man. Sub

Yea I just tossed it.. Im getting a lot better trim from cutting the popcorn nugs anyways
Wasnt counting the exact dates but I cut most everything after about 8 weeks and let the lower popcorn run another week or so. I def need to learn how to avoid all the popcorn next time. But I will be ready for more pretty soon..

Thanks for the good words, I appreciate it. Learned a lot thanks to everyone here its a great community. I did not have a fan for half of the grown.. big mistake. It broke down mid grow and I didnt replace it..need to go do that. I tried to get it a lot of airflow by keeping the door open a lot while the light was on. Even blew bongrips into the tent to raise CO2 levels :]
