MGj- hey there- to answer your ? ummm i locked out calcium by overferting with potassium. other than that i had ph troubles 2x cause a faulty meter, but i bought ph drop tester for that =) next run no guano tea for coco gals(no need), and running lighter on all the nutes. gonna keep it under 1100ppm til week 5 then mix up a 1100ppm batch and w/ a bump in the pk using a few items. i am still tweaking things, goal is to use fewer products and less of them. i write it all down now so i can alter my formula accurately(hopefully) so i can adjust a lil each grow and what the girls sharply. time will tell my friend. wish me luck. all in all i like coco end product, higher yeilding and more resinous than my soil results, with less effort/ higher ease of use ideal for someone with little time or minimal energy. i just need to break old habits lol unless i am usin dirt that is. oh man sorry for the rant just took the opportunity to expand on that a bit hehe
glad to provide some cheer 4 your holidays brotha

Badugi- yo bro long time. glad to see ya and got your pm. i will get at you when i have more time to spend on here. limited these days. my lap top broke. hope you like my lil grow.
ok fella, so i meant to update a few days ago but like always i had problems, twice, and on the third failure a few made it through the upload so i can share those at least and try 2 get the others up when i get a chance.
here is a shot of 5 of the 6 strains. bam bam not pictured(was still hanging). from left to right: decap, gdpP, gdpB, memoryloss, pollenchuck. the gdpB is about the size of a bic lighter for referance.
some gdpP while hangin
room b4 choppin began
happy with the yeild. the 3 gdpB in 5.5in white square containers gave just over 3.5oz. of solid nuggz.... the 3 gdpP in 2l bottles gave just over 2.25 solid oz .
decap in gal bag gave 26.3 g and could have been much higher with better placement/ light coverage. i did not weight the rest yet. still sweating their jars.
only the pollen chuck and bam bam gave me some popcorn, but partially due to placement, but nearly every single bud from top to bottom of plants was swollen rock solid with very little shrinkage while drying giving me lots of hard nuggets of all sizes. the more they sweat and the moisture evens the more solid they begin to feel.
i also tried some new harvesting methods and i am pretty sure they have increased flavor and potency, while reducing curing time to achieve peak flavor and aroma we desire(4 any1 who dont know me, i am a huge pot snob). the proof is in the pot. i have 3 seperate opinions that concur with my own experiences, so now i know i am not imaging it helped improve quality and speed the cure w/ out taking shortcuts, just remembering that timing is everthing
if any one has any ?s i will try to answer to the best of my ability about what i am doing new for myself, all simple info really... so far i stand by it as legit.
ok so off i go... i am forced to move again. me and maj tore down my room today. all gone bye bye but i still have a thriving veg waiting and growing. hopefully i move b4 they grow to big. ahh hell no such thing. my water heater blew up and it was directly next to my build. flooded my garage and grow room. flooding ruined plenty of sheet rock also. i am glad i debated immediately flowering my girls asap after my harvest. i waited and the universe spoke loud and clear this week. it said to move on and dont look back. i agree!
thanks again for watchin friends!
