Also I see your in socal as am I do you use the tap water and declorenate It or do you use something else
I use RO for germ & seedlings.
Once they get a few nodes I switch to tap - straight tap.
I've never tested it, but it works. I asked a couple neighbors and they swear by it. Judging by my crusty faucets, I'll never have a calmag issue...

There's definitely a better way, but it's worked for 3 grows now! :bigjoint:

My water is incredibly hard, don't know if that helps. edit: <--- like destroying 3 showerheads a year hard.
Also, I am planning to off-gas my tap water for 24 hours on this grow. Honestly not 100% sure if it will help, but I can't see how it can hurt either.

I'm growing a different strain on this run as well, so simple is is the plan again. Maybe some experiments on the next batch.

You should start an auto seed in a solo cup under a CFL. I use Biobiz light mix and then FFOF when I transplant. You shouldn't give it anything but water until 3-4 weeks after sprout.

Yea a lot of different Opinions and suggestions but like I said I’m new to this so I like to hear everyone’s suggestions and slowly trouble shoot my individual issue
24 inches with an led light even though its a blurple might be to close for a seedling maybe raise it up another half foot../..idk play with it .. I use t-5 bulbs for my cuts.


microbes and kelp are two things you could stand getting.

cocco is like hydro you have to water it daily or every other day from what I understand about it I dont grow in it. and just water around the base of the plant like an inch around it dont go dumping water right at the base. for right now till it gets going.

A little veg nutes at about 100 ppms and a tad bit of kelp with a pinch of microbes and it should grow ........if the light isnt messing with it.

go on the y-tube and look up all the harley smith videos and watch them a dozen times

Again - I haven't measured. I'd love to though, recommend a cheap meter?

But, I'm not exaggerating - we used to scrub the showerheads & faucets constantly.
Now we scrub the faucets, but the showerheads just get crusty inside and clog; so we get cheapos.

Oh and don't just water. Never use straight water unless you are flushing (With Coco). The plant will drown out,. Use clone strength or lower food for now. You may want to ask some one who does autos in coco what strength to use.
