I had difficulty with Coco Tec also, has to be charged before use.
I have switched to Botanacare but still need to add extra Mag. Yes pH up and down are a necessity IMO

Just posted to my journal, White Rhino and Exodus Cheese, day 24 of 12/12.

Ladies are doing fine, the WR is ahead of the EC at least by a week plus. Thinking the EC is going to take 10 to 15 extra days, unless she comes on strong between now and harvest date.

The clones are about ready to go in to 1 gallon coffee cans, going to do 12 WR and 4 EC plus keep a mother of each strain.

I drink instant folgers, and seeing all those coffee containers together makes for a lot of coffee.

Not ripping on you bro.

No problem, just did not get what you meant. LOL, in a stoned state of mind! I grind my own coffee beans (Colombian, dark roast).
My G/F worked at a company what a lot of employees and they would go thru about two of these a week. They are the perfect size for what I wanted to do. I also got a few from one of my clients at their convenience store.

Setting up the closet today to put the clones in to veg. Had some transplant shock going from just the RootRiot plugs to the coco hempys. They should all recover. Have not worked out all the logistics for this new grow yet. Have more clones that I really need but don't know any growers in my area. I will have at least 6 Exodus Cheese, This strain is not going to be that good to do a SOG, but would be great for a ScrOG due to the heavy side branching. It has not worked out that well in the Manifold/Mainline grow so far, just way to branchy.
I will post some pics when I get this all set up.

I just sprouted a bunch of bodhi strains.
Wanted to give em a try finally.

What area are you in?

Also, sorry to hear about your cancer man.

I've been making oil for my mom, she has it too.
Chemo isn't working, so got her to try the oil.
I'm using the 190 proof grape alcohol.
Hope it works.

Bleu, I do hope it does the trick for your mom. Bless her and I hope the treatments work. Who produces the oil, how much and how often is she taken the oil? What cancer does she have? There are a lot of frauds out there so be careful whom you buy from. If you are making your own oil make sure you are using high THC strains (multiple strains) and a good solvent. I prefer using ISO alcohol although I don't grow enough to make my own oils,

Have a friend who had bladder cancer and he went through two chemo and rad treatment only to have the cancer return again. He did a very high quality oil, 90 days at 1.5 to 2 grams a day. He broke it down into three treatments a day, He has been cancer free for going on 2 yrs now.

Some pictures of my one gallon Folgers can Hempys for my 16 plant SOG that will go in the cabinet upon completion of this current grow. I know I have have to do some Super Cropping to keep them low, will probably start flowering them under my SS400 LED then move them in the cabinet after the WR and EC finish.
Having some transplant shock, but I think all will be ok.

My mom started with breast cancer, they removed her breasts, and a year later it returned, now in her bone.
I grew 8 strains outside this last summer, and
Made a few combinations of oils, but her tolerance is so low, she can't take a gram a day, yet.

I won't buy from anyone cause I don't know what they used on their plants, did they purge correctly etc...

Lol I'll be mainlining all my seedlings soon too,
I got over excited when germing seeds,
Forgot about available room indoors when they mature lol.


Great idea with the coffee cans btw

White Rhino & Exodus Cheese
Day 30 of 12/12

The WR and EC are doing fine in flower. Not sure why I did not get a picture of EC today when working the plants. Oh well will get one over the next few days. Their buds are getting bigger, not as fast as I would like, but they are doing fine.
WR taken today,


I will be doing some leaf tucking tomorrow and may have to remove some of the fans, not really wanting to do that though, so hoping tucking will suffice. The distance between the node was so very short that I never felt comfortable super cropping this plant and she is so short and compact. Her nugs and really stacking. I hope some of her clones make it as she will make a great SOG plant.

I posted this in my journal a couple of days ago.
Some of my clones have taken a dive. Transplanted into the one gallon Hempy buckets on 12/12/15 and they all looked ok at that point. Since then some have just totally gone down hill. Looks like over nutes at first but all were treated the same and over half are doing ok. Nutes were at .25 rate!
Just a couple of pics, more later

.

First three are WR, 4 & 6th or EC and 5th is WR

GR

Update on that journal post,
I lost three of the WR and one EC, when I pulled them from their plugs they still had some roots but they were all dead on top. They may have survived but I went ahead and replaced them with the last four plants still in the rooting trays, one WR and 3 EC's.
Here the clan, 8 WR and 8 EC.


I am thinking that I must of damaged the roots when transplanting as they were sticking out from the RootRiot plug. I did pack them into the coco and then pressed them down wanting to make sure they sat properly. At least thats all I can figure, all plants received the same coco mix, same nutes (1/4 rate) and the same light.

I keep getting rust spots and I think either nitrogen or more likely a mag deficiency. I use canna coco I reuse some and have new as well I have had this problem with both. I just started with Hygrozyme and I just got cannazym have not used it yet, I foliar spray with epsom salt seems to help a tiny bit then it comes back is there like a coco wonder nute or some shit ?

What is your nute protocol? Can you post some pics of the problem with your plants?

Right now I use gh flora series,Cali magic 3ml per gal. armour si,h&g roots acclerator,just started adding hygrozyme and I foliar feed with epsom salt As needed. I dont do pics I know hard to say what defiency without seeing.
But it has rust spots-calcium?
And yellow almost like stripes in between the veins of the leaf-magnesium?
I ph RO water to 5.8-6.2

What's your ppm's? You should never reuse canna coco.

Just made a post to my Journal, link below. Take a look, getting close on the White Rhino and the Exodus Cheese. The clones are doing well also, except the EC has some leaf Claw, not sure about this as nothing has really change in the clone nutes.
WR

The curled leaves in the top left of the pic is not Claw, it's where the plant was pressing against the cabinet walls. The plant show no signs of Claw.
