    Where am I going wrong?

    These plants are in the bin several weeks ago. Coco has been a total waste of time for me, I fucking hate it. Back to dwc and never looking back.

    Where am I going wrong?

    Right, it's been two weeks since I last posted about these fucking plants. I've flushed them (again) it has taken ages for them to dry out, they look over watered, well I have let the coco go bone dry, flushed them, fed them, moved them under my cmh lights, temps up to 25°c, everything under the...

    Where am I going wrong?

    I'm using diy Samsung strip light (6 strips) ~140w in my veg tent. Temps are around 15-20°c I know it's a bit cool, but it shouldn't affect them too much right?

    Where am I going wrong?

    OK, so really I don't need any calcium, but am definitely short on magnesium. Is there a calmag minus the cal I can buy?

    Where am I going wrong?

    Classic grow forum advice here, seems a bit of everything is the recommendation! :lol: I've just dropped 6 more beans in some root riot plugs, when they surface I'll put these 3 in the flower tent so I get something at least in a couple of months (gotta make the electric bill worth it!) then by...

    Regulation over seed strains & names

    Is there any regulation over strain genetics? There seems to be millions of strains by millions of breeders that some of them must be made up bullshit or the same seeds repackaged as something else. I mean I could buy a pack of Gorilla Glue seeds, grow them out and make a shit ton of seeds...

    Where am I going wrong?

    I fed them a bit around 10 days ago, then let them dry out as people said to do. Then.fed them a couple of days ago. Using canna coco. Run off ec is slightly higher than what's going in think this is down to me giving them 1.8 a couple of weeks ago. Now giving them 1.0 ec and getting 1.2 out...

    Where am I going wrong?

    I was doing it once a day until I made this thread and let them dry out over the last couple of weeks, last fed them two days ago.

    Where am I going wrong?

    The dripper runs off a tiny pump in the res, it's not on a timer, I just plug it in for about a minute when I want to feed them, it gives them 500ml-750ml over a minute roughly.

    Where am I going wrong?

    OK, it's been 2 weeks since I first posted. Since then I have poured about 5 litres of 1.0ec water @ph6 through the pots, minus the calmag. I let it dry out quite a bit which took until two days ago. Then I fed them until run off. They have grown a bit but still look rough as fuck. This coco...

    Where am I going wrong?

    Yes they were doing fine until they went into bigger pots. I've diluted the res down and given them a light feed each morning the last few days and they have perked right up. I think I managed to bog them down with too much water, combined with the high N levels they weren't happy. The pots are...

    Where am I going wrong?

    I fill my res with water, add Calmag, stir, add micro, then grow, then bloom stirring in between. Then ph test it, it usually ends up around 6.5ph, so I add a squirt of ph down and give it a stir, let it settle for half an hour, then test it again until its at ph5.8. I have a small air stone in...

    Where am I going wrong?

    My tap water never gave me trouble in dwc, used to have RO water a few years ago but moved into a house with a water meter now so can't justify the cost of running the RO filter. I guess another factor for me in coco is it doesn't grow as fast as dwc so I may be seeing slower growth as a...

    Where am I going wrong?

    I might try h3ads formula once I have got things working properly, I don't think chopping and changing things is going to do me any favours until I have got the hang of what I'm doing. So in the meantime, what should I be doing with regards to my current approach? Should I be feeding until run...

    Where am I going wrong?

    My tap water is 0.6ec, then 1ml/l Calmag takes it up to 1.0, then nutes on top bring it to 1.8ec.

    Where am I going wrong?

    I've only ever grown in dwc and know absolutely fuck all about how/when/what to water when it comes to soil. I've seen people say coco is a kind of middle ground between soil and hydro and it's more forgiving than dwc. As I understand it, you water the pots everyday or several times a day until...

    The dreaded house inspection, hiding plants in the shed.

    Figured as much, just a shame to miss out on 2 days light as this point. They are about 2-3 weeks away from the chop and looking damn good so I'm not too worried. Clockwise from top left: Purps#1, pineapple express #2, Franco's lemon cheese, pineapple express #2 again.

    The dreaded house inspection, hiding plants in the shed.

    I've got a house inspection tomorrow, landlord has pulled it out of the bag a couple of weeks early and my plants are about at their peak, they stink so much! I have been through this a few times before, I even keep a fan and filter installed in the shed for such occasions. My method is to...

    Looking to boost yield and moving away from lucas formula.

    1. I mentioned that I was growing in dwc, look at my original post again. 2. What? It's a general question about nutrients, I could have posted in in the hydro section, I could have posted it in the nutrients section, I could have posted it in the grow room setup section, but I know I'll get...
