30 Plant Grow Project

Here's my second attempt at growing which is 7 days in. I am growing 30 plant with the hopes of pulling off 12 bitch plants for flower.

400 watt MH 24/0
Good bagweed
R.O. water w/ +cal/Mag
JIffy sterile potting mix/perlite

I will be moving them into a 800 watt HPS after 3 more weeks.

awesome my dude. but there is no way those plants are only 1 week old. there fucking huge. ha let me know more man

they probably are a week old. well maybe more like 8 or 9 days.

what strain have you gone for? my personal opinion is 24 hours is too much, the dont NEED that much light, so save your self some power and put them on 18/6 or even 20/4. i have never noticed a difference.
what pots will they be going into after those?

They popped out of the dirt about the 1st so that is only 5 days ago. I only 24/0 for the first week then I will go 18/6. These are just good bagweed. I don't have anything better to grow at this point but my last Bagweed grow my wife is happy with so it will do for now, I guess.

The Yellow ass ones on the far left, in the jiffy pots, are a week older. They dried out a little to much and are shocked to shit.

I need sex these guy without buying a thousand bags of dirt. Any suggestions? What is the cheapest way of getting these thing into flower without spending a thousand on soil?

Well growing from seed there's nott much you can do but that's one of the huge benefits of cloning. Or buy feminized seeds.

Alternately, I grow in coco coir and you can use much smaller pots than in soil. But that's a whole other ball game.

CAn't you can reuse Coco? If so, it would be a cheaper grow if I can reuse at least once.

I would love to do Coco in 3.5 gallon pots. Is it possible to grow in Coco like a reg. soil grow?

i use cocoa, its great, growth is much faster than in soil, and the feeding is simple. go for it, im not sure if you can re,use it, if all the roots are out them i guess so.

I use straight coco, there is no need to add anything. Explosive growth rates, however it is not like soil, its like hydro results with a soil taste and simplicity. You water daily and feed daily or bi daily with hydro nutes. Soil ph is 7 in coco you use 5.8 - 6.2 ph.

Coco is the bomb

How many bags of coco do you think I will need to fill 25 3 gallon pots?

Well I would get the 5 kg blocks of botanicare (or similar high quality coco) with the 5kg block you can fill about 5 3 gal pots I think. Maybe a bit less.

Would you recommend the block over the bagged? Don't you have to do more prep with blocks? Are blocks cheaper than Bagged?

Iiveve never bought the bags. All you need to do to the bricks is add water. The harder way is to crumble it by hand and add water, that's how I do it if I only need a pot or 2 worth, if making a brick at a time just buy a rubermaid trash can and add water to the whole brick till it puffs up to its full size

Do you still have to rinse it really well before use. I hear the bricks can have a lot of salt. Is this still true?

I actually love the 50/50 perlite coco mix it allows me to water 4x a day in veg early flower then about start of week 4 i up to 8 times and pop PPM to 1700 and have no issues with burn.

I use bagged by canna because it works better with some nutes i use.

yeah bagged is better, i didnt like all the messing around i had to with the blocks. i find i use a lot more food with cocoa than soil though, but its only like 12pound a liter so its not that bad, ill probably end up using 2 liters of A and 2 liters of B suring the grow, which is only about 40 pound so not too bad.

im still not sure if it can be re-used, anyone ever done it?
