beware, here goes a noob coco growers log. or a newb growers coco log. Both are accurate.
We are on day two of flowering. I had all sorts of problems in the veg state. I will give a brief description of what i have learned, thru trial and error.
First of all i read almost every word on coco on this site before starting. About two months of reading...
I watered my seedlings too often. When the top would dry out, i would water. They grew VERY slow.
Next i did not feed them. I learned soil and learned that the plants did not need supplemented food until they grew a few leaves. These plants were hungry with the first set of leaves.
Next once they finally grew i ended up overwatering them with my new dripper setup (thanks Pico for the DIY tutorial).
Things have been moving smoothly for a couple weeks now. I switched to flower two days ago, the day after taking some cuts. I topped some as well, and realize i should not have so soon before flower. Oh well, they were going to overgrow their homes.
I am growing D. Passion PPP and Mr. Nice Shark Shock. From seed. Canna Coco, and Botanicare PBP nutes. Drip 3x a day for about 20 seconds. More of a flow than a drip really. I still have my 400W MH's in as i am hoping it will reduce the stretch during the transition phase. Am i right in thinking this?
