Hi,

I will try to show you my next coming grow, i'm planning to switch from soil to coco, and for that i have made a drain to waste system with topspin dripper and a drain table.
I open this thread a few week before it's even start as i still have to finish the installation, buying a few stuff, and of course finish the last soil grow that you can see in another thread as well, but another reason is i still have a lot of question to ask.

The Strains:
Sour Diebble from Harmony Seeds, the Sour Diesel Riri cutting crossed to a BOG Sour Bubble stud.
For the first run in this substrate i choose a strain that i know is easy to grow, take easly the mistake, resistant to most diseases....this cut have been selected and breeded by my friend Fifty, he have done a nice work here as he did keep the interesting side of the mother and bring a lot of vigour and stress resistance, for that reason the yield is much more interesting now.



and i did add a few cuttings from my moms:
-Wonder Diesel (Quenai/Reservoir Seeds) x1
-Sage'N'Sour (THC420/TH Seeds) x1
-SSSDH (OJD/Reservoir Seeds) x1
-Grand Doggy Purps (TrueCannabliss/Connoisseur Genetics) x1

Flowering Room:
Homebox XL+(145x145x200cm)
AAW avenger large.
Ballast Lumatek Dimmable/SL
Bulbs MH+HPS, then full HPS
Exhaust: 800m3/h with a GSE module for Temp°.
Intake: 400m3/h+passive
Watering: Auto, with HP water pomp, PE filter and 3 Topspin25, all that on a cyclic timer.




Pots and Substrate:
Canna Coco Pro+
3L pots on a draintable 120x120.

Nutes and more:
Fungi Organics Bacto (tricho/mycho)
H&G Roots Excelurator
GHE Flora serie, without any pk and additives(at least for the first run).
Atami AtaClean

Hi Mack,

Nice to see you here and thanks for the comments. ;)
Yes fifty have released some beans, under the name Harmony Seeds but it's only limited batch for the moment and on another place(PM if needed), he's still testing his lines.

Hi,

Thanks guys ! :biggrin:
I did repot most of the girl today and he did take me 90min for 19girl, amazing i was needing the double in soil(yeah i'm a slow mannnn tutututtuuu, i'm a sloww mannn :biggrin:).

Technical Info:
EC tap water = 0,63
EC Solution = 1,07
EC Nutes = 0,44
PH = 5,88

For this i have put 0,5ml/L Micro, 0,3ml/L Grow and 0,3ml/L Bloom + a little beat of roots.
I did give half liter solution to each girl.

Here are the pictures:

Hey Coxnox,

happy to see you growing in coco !!!
I never use flora serie in COCO, Because The K Ca Mg in coco is not easy to manage.. mainly with coco of Canna brand.
I always using Canna coco A+B ..

I am (we are) very interested in what ratio you will use with GHE, with tap water in coco..

Keep us posted

Best Regards..

Hi,

thanks for the comments ;)

i will probably use Rez formula(lucas modified) so that give something like 1,6ml/L Micro and 2,4ml/L Bloom...no grow !!
i know it's not the best nutes for coco, but it's work ! I didn't buy that range for this grow, i was having the bottle so i did choose to use it.

Coxnox, like your new set -up, it's pretty much what I use an have had great results from my last runs with exception in the nutes, house and garden as my base.

Good luck with this run, I'm sure you going to smash it.

I see big things in your future, clean and simple....im loving the coco myself..i treat it like soil at first when watering once the roots start bursting through the drain holes they go on a regimen.

how much are you planning to veg those anyway?
