Wow my feelings are so hurt and your tactics so fucking predictable it's hilarious. Took you long enough to try and find some way to snap back at me, which further confirms my suspicion that you are GG lol.......

Go fuck off numb nuts and welcome to the party. Are you happy now that you talked shit in my thread?

Thanks for the bump too bro!

Nothing! You want to play that's cool, I need a play mate come on in. Will take all the free bumps you want to give me.

No you wanted to see if you would start an argument with me here responding to your post that you deleted but since I quoted you we can all see it. You thought I was dumber than I look and now you're back tracking. Similar behavior a lot of times to GG..........

a mongo frog said:

No, not true. I need you to believe me. This is what happened: I thought you were bitch made because you posted some negative comments in another persons grow journal. So then i thought to my self i would post some negative shit in your grow journal, and then maybe you would think maybe that you shouldn't have said those things in another persons grow journal. But obviously you don't care about stuff like that.

No I just don't care what you have to say there's a difference. I didn't post any garbage, I posted based on what my experience was. You just don't like that it was negative and you thought you were gonna come and troll me. Good luck. People need to learn to take the good with the bad. And who are you to be getting so offended about what I post and where?

a mongo frog said:

Because your out of line to post that stuff in somones grow journal. You didn't even delete your posts over there.

And I'm not going to go complain to a moderator if it bothers you that much. Are you GG's bitch or what? There's an entire crew of people shit talking the guy and you want to take it up with me posting actual experience. That's awesome. And you want to come now and cry about it in my thread like it's going to make me look bad or something. But what you don't understand is I don't care. I did not post anything out of line. I was speaking of my experience. If you don't like it too bad. I'm not going to delete my post. I said what I said and it's staying there. LOL!

Ok guys the new nutes showed up today. Ionic "hard water". Much easier to mix than the FN and a lot cleaner to work with. I did some minor LST on the top of the canopy as she's still bendy from the middle up pretty much. I watered and fed her with the Ionic EC of 1.6 and PH of 6.0 on the dot. I left the run off in the Tupperware and will do so over night. Tomorrow am whatever isn't sucked up by the plant will be drained out.

Here's a full body shot of her.

Do you always let the plant sit in the water overnight ? That is a major no no in coco . Lol that rhymed!

No I have never done this before. I read it was good for the plant to suck back up some of the over flow. This was bad?

Now and then ain't gonna hurt anything but the idea is Fresh nutes in the top - excess salts etc out the bottom.

Gotcha won't be doing it again then.

All the excess is in your runoff . You never want to let your plant soak any of it up in coco. Soil isn't bad and organics is preferred but not coco

You most likely are not watering enough. You must water to runoff every day and in flower it will require more , even up to 3 or 4 times a day. If you are not doing this you absolutely will get lockouts all the time. It's part of growing in coco the stuff has to stay wet or lockout city

I have found the coco too wet gets bugs.......but yes you're right. I was thinking organic soil with the extra sitting there.

You can use something for bugs but not lockouts and messed up plants. Coco has to stay wet my friend .the high cation of coco when it dries is a lot of nutes (salt) drying in your roots. It is not soil and cannot be treated as such . That is what I have seen and the reason for using coco is huge yields in small pots which can't be achieved if you are not watering every day. Anything over a 5 gallon potter unless you are growing 7 ft trees is too much

lol it's a bear to get right. It drove me insane.

I just never had this issue before with the coco so it's weird to me all of a sudden. I have a 3x3 with three plants in coco not having any of these issues lol.....

How long have they been in the pots ? It is possible that it is just the plant but try to water like I said and it may fix your problem. Do you feed every water ?

Not necessarily I try and read the plant to see what she wants. I am obviously doing a shitty job of that with this plant..........

Coco basically gets run like hydro from my understanding since it almost cant be overwatered like a hydro medium (not including rockwool). I think you found the cause of your issues with #13. Stonironi is right on point with the fact that when coco dries up, it holds all the salts and it turns into lockup city. Never a chance for the salts to wash through and they build. I wouldnt give up on coco just yet. Though I have no actual experience in coco personally, I hear & read far more good about it than bad.
