hey i see you guys rocked the boat enough that we now have a new place to hang out! no better time than now to bust out my first grow thread, especially since i am knee deep in coco and never touched it prior to a month ago ok well heres my thread, anyone with bags welcome to show you stuff anyone with knowledge and patience, please teach me something! the nutes i use are GH, lucas formula plus liquid karma. i hydrate the coco in a 3.5 gal bucket using 1gal of mild nutes (3/6/15) that i ph to 6.0 once fully hydrated i fill the bags. some i used 50/50 hydroton but most are all coco. im lazy and my tron needs rinsing
anyway...here are my baglady moms, i have 12 atm but more are comin soon!

Nice clean setup you have there Bro.

Mr. Mo hey thanks!

gaiusmarius thank man! these are my moms, i will be takin cuts and flowering the cuts. as far as nutes, GH is all i have atm and i just reupped. i guess i have to use the lucas formula this round any suggestions? i do plan to keep an eye on VTs thread with the csn17 to see how he likes it. my current flower setup is recirc dwc, i was mediumless. i am thinkin about goin drip to waste in the future, any recomendations?

I've said it before...and I will say it again....I have seen folks get awesome results with about 5 different nute brands....I started out using coco with GH 3 part actually...(never tried Lucas mix...only Highgrade)

I can tell you read that thread Lucas authored

Dude....those plants are healthy as a mofo....props

when you start flowering the lucas formula will not be enough, not in the coco.

i don't know about VT's experience, but i have seen quite a few growers run in to problems when using non specific nutes in coco. sure it's possible, but you need to know what additives to add when. with a coco specific nutrient you have a much easier time of things. that's my opinion anyway.

in the veg phase and even early flowering you will not see any problems. it's only later on that the problems start.

so unless you are just talking about using some coco as a supplement to your earth, then i'd organize some coco specific nutes. no matter which ones, as long as they are made for coco.

what ever you end up doing i look forward to following along as your plants do their thing.

ok, i have a while to play with the flower nute selection. so...here is my finished veg stand above the moms. there is a disassembled shoplight for mother lighting attached to the stand, will be adding insulated mylar between the lights and trays. also added two lexan clone shelves on the left. the stand holds two mixing trays from home depot and i added 1/2" pvc electrical fittings for ebb/flow but im probably goin to do drip veg. i can easily screw on a multi sprinker head to the 1/2 overflow fitting and let them drain through the flush fill fitting. i used a heat gun to sink it btw. last thing i need to do is upgrade my lighting, i will start with another shoplight for now to make 320w veg. may swap out to T5s later, what yall think?

[gaiusmarius]

i think it looks great, can't wait to see and hear more

[-VT-]

I never thought about using PVC in that manner before....good stuff bro!
I may try that....lol...I am sure you've got some more DIY tips coming in this thread....
Your plants look great...

peace

The MacGuyver of PVC. I dig.

Nice setup!
