Gonna pot them up into 1litre pots and then stick the hps on them in about a weeks time. Will stick some photos up. One of them I’m gonna water...

    UK prices on Boxes

    4K for runtz is really good if it’s decent quality. Always gonna depend on the quality ain’t it. Can get decent enough boxes for about 38 at the moment of stardaw. Everyone buys it n says it’s cookies least all the younger lot. I knew the crazy flavour prices was not going to last forever...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    those plants are from a previous grow that had poor roots. I watered those daily from day1 hence the dead plant from over watering. You can over water coco flooding it daily before the roots are established.thats why the plant next to the two ended up dead. packing down the coco was also 100% a...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    I am gonna not pull out these next lot. I think your right as well with the issue being more under watering than over watering. In the past I was packing my coco down so much. That I’d have to let it get bone dry before I’d water it again Or else it’ll go over watered. Not packing the coco down...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    The roots on every plant started to look worse. They all went from being white and thick looking. To more thin and overall just unhappy. The plants themselves I have to admit also started to look a little unhappy too… I had a similar issue last time. With me using hps from the start. I thought...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    Next grow I’m gonna be using a laser pointer thing to check the temps of everything. Although is the same set up I’ve always had and when it goes fine I normally yield decent. I’m gonna have a few seeds and water one sooner than I usually would. Plus let one get as light as I usually would. Can...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    I just knew something had gone wrong mate. Pissed off with fucking up so much. Gonna pop some freebie seeds today. This time I’m gonna do things a little different. Have the coco more “fluffy“. Also when I switch on the hps I’m gonna water the plants more sooner. Even though I never had a...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    Ended up killing the lot. Pissed off looking at them, they looked behind and shit for their age. Everything was sweet till I whacked on the hps. Will clean the tent tomorrow n then decide what my next move is.

    Coco roots…again ffs

    Cheers guys. I started off in smaller pots. Was in 500ml pots under the cfl. Had decent roots and potted into these 2litre pots. Watered until run off and left. had no fan running as the cfl doesn’t get hot enough where the tents at. When the plants needed a second watering I switched on the...

    Coco roots…again ffs

    Growing in pure canna coco coir. always noticed my veg time was slow compare to my mates. He would come over and see my plants n tell me to water them. Doing so mine would go over watered. I was needing mine to be bone dry basically as was packing down the coco to much. He gave me some well...

    Piss poor roots in coco

    I will have to try get photos from my old phone but I have had roots get like the photo posted where the pot is covered. That’s back when I was letting the pots get light. I got there in the end but I felt it took way longer than needed. You look even on this topic we’ve got people saying water...

    Piss poor roots in coco

    Are you watering them every day from the minute they are placed in the solo cups? I have had some tell me to let the coco dry a little at first. I was not letting the coco dry out though and watering soon as the top of the coco looked to be drying. Ended up seeing shit roots tbh. All the plants...

    Piss poor roots in coco

    Okay think most people have said that you can over water but not once the roots are established. Which makes sense and like I say I was shocked to see one over watered as they’d never looked droopy before. I guess I had been getting to keen with watering to often. I did however try let these...

    Piss poor roots in coco

    Would that affect the roots? I know they look hungry, I just been cautious about bumping up the feed to fast as suffered with nitrogen toxicity in the past. They current are on an ec of 0.8 canna nutes. Tbh next feed I’m gonna just give em 0.9. Still within range for veg so fingers crossed it...

    Piss poor roots in coco

    I know everyone says don’t let coco every dry out like soil and I haven’t done. So much so that one plant even looked over watered from being watered every other day and is now binned. Some have said at first you should let the pot get light? Any ideas on why the roots look so poor? They are...

    Unhappy looking

    It’s weird because I’ve got plants where I want them in the past with just hand watering. Just it used to take longer as I was treating the coco like soil. Letting it dry out due to the plants going over watered as I’d packed the coco down to much. But yeah the plants still grew just slower...

    Unhappy looking

    quick update and more questions lol the plants have grown in size since being potted up in the 2litres pots. Gotta say though I still ain’t seeing any side branches? they are under a 400w. Been a while for me running seeds as been doing clones but don’t recall plants taking this long to get...

    Unhappy looking

    Cheers man, the roots looked bit shit when I potted up into 2 litres tbh. Not sure why, I wasn’t letting the coco dry out at all. I’m actually thinking perhaps I was too keen with the watering? know you can’t over water coco since I stopped pressing down on the coco when potting up. Think I...

    Unhappy looking

    yeah kills me having to wait. This is the boring stage I feel as well. Once they get properly rooted and start taking off it’s not so bad. I just watered the shittest looking one. Not gonna open the tent whole of today and just see how it looks tomorrow. Usually watering as soon as the tops...
