Hi there! First a short intro...we're 2 guys living in Spain, fed up with scrabbling about for bits of weedy weed and harsh hash, which cost us about 200€ a month, so we decided to make a grow room on our balcony.

After loads of reading and a-gathering of info, we decided on coco for the sheer simplicity of it.

We started a journal on a couple of other sites, and got sum bad advice and made a couple of bloopers but that's the most wonderful thing about coco - it's soooo forgiving!

We will definitely be sticking with coco for all future grows, and if anyone reading this is still in any doubt, COCO ROCKS!!!! All it takes is to get into your head thats it's really a hydroponic grow, and the girls love it!

Awesome! Love how you show the changes over a regular time progression.

Coco DOES rock. Relatively little medium does so much! It's like plant steroids or something.

looking good man ,is it hand feding?

[darrengary]

Hi guys, thanks for popping by

[darrengary]

Hand fed all the way, with added Canna A+B, and a bit of vinegar to lower the ph.

We're very proud of our girls, they've grown up in the most delightful way, [tear glimmers in Gary's eye]

i was just gonna say it looked like u used canna AB
its great nutes isnt it

so u are using vinegar to lower the ph! wow that must get cheap ? any specific reason ur not using other acids?

the only thing i could ad is a fan on the top part too

i would maybe start flowering earlier? it seems the light doesnt get down there - but what does it matter ? even the fluffy ones are ur own homegrown and tasty

nice grow guys

[darrengary]

Wassup bone! Yep, we use vinegar, mainly cos it's cheap, but we wanted to be as natural as poss, without going the whole hog with worm & bat shit and rotting fish etc! (we live in an apartment block with fairly nosy neighbours)

I've noticed a lot of peeps use rhizotone and cannazoid (?) with A+B? Does it make a difference.

With regards to the size of our ladies, we vegged 'em a bit too long, and obviously won't be repeating that little gaff. Mainly cos it's taking too long to get to the sssmowkin stage!!

And everything seems nice n dry in there, so hopefully no mold probs later.

Thanks for dropping by, we'll keep updating as and when anything exciting happens.

Peace guys. D & G in Spain.

Hey darrengary,

that's a great looking "balcony" grow man
i hope you made sure that the light doesn't shine out where the neighbors could see it?

love the way you have shown the development progressively, i can't wait to see the rest of this grow. keep up the good work.

[darrengary]

Many thanks, gaius. Nah, the cabinet is totally light tight, so no worries on that score.
Now, the smell is another matter...we'll probably have to invest in a carbon scrubber v. soon. "sigh", another week of work to pay for it!!

Peace

hehe yeah - i know what u mean i decided this year also not to buy a new scrubber untill flowering. they are damn expensive

rhizotonic is awesome - its magic for root growth - i guess mainly in the first stages of growth - from clone/seedling untill flowering. i see no point really to ad rhizotonic end of flowering.

to spray rhizotonic on fresh rooted clones boosts the root growth amazingly.

and i think the other product u are taling about is cannazyme - atazyme does pretty much the same thing and is only 9 euros in the local grow shops

peace
