First coco run... impressed

So I've done most methods of growing. Never coco. Very impressed by the vigorous growth. Compares very favorable to rdwc which surprised me. Got 3 strains going in my 3x3 gorilla. Arcata ghost by cannaventure, kosher cookies by DNA, and original amnesia by dinafem. The latter 2 were freebies. 400w timber. The arcata and amnesia are very sativa dominant. Right and back plants. The kosher cookies is the indica on the left. Flipped 5 days ago. All untopped. The sativas are already 36 and 39". Anticipate 5 foot plants. Here's a couple pics. Cheers.

Looks good, That's a lot of plants for a 3x3! Might need a second net. Gotta love that extra hight of the gorilla tent did you get the 7'7" extension?

Thanks for the good vibes my friend. Cheers. I'll post pics as things progress.

Interesting to see what kind of results you're going to get with the Arcata Ghost. I've popped two seeds and they both grew into herms. Seems very common with Cannaventure seeds.

I've ran it before with decent results. No herms. Pretty good smoke. Not great but solid. Will update if anything comes up. Cheers.

She's the one in the back. Btw.

Forgot to mention that the two sativas are in 5 gallon fabric pots. Indica is in 3 gallon. Pure brick coco with nothing added.

Just saw these bro, looking good indeed, with pure coco you seem to have the right moisture /air balance , lovely colour and shape, good luck for the grow, I have grown Blue Thai by Dinafem , fucking lovely girls, almost mold resistant outdoors as well, and hard as marbles, Great work !

Lolipopped and pruned some lowers. Sativas are 44 and 46" and still stretching. Still very impressed by coco. I'm watering twice per day now @ 600ppm. Here's a few pics. Cheers.

Here I am guys. Just finished stretch. Had to tie down the dominant cola on both sativas. They were both getting close to 6 feet tall. All my pruning and lolipopping etc are done.

Your grow looks very beautiful! Thank you for the info! I am going to ditch super soils as I am a noob grower, and with my HLG LED light, my plants are not performing well at all in it. What coco mixture are you using, sorry for all the questions, just need a new medium.

No problem. Ask away. I've had very successful soil grows but hydro is always gonna yeild way more. I just bought a 5kg pressed coco brick. Hydrated it In a wheel barrel and put in pots. Nothing fancy. Some growers here add perlite but it is not necessary. This is my first coco run and so far I am loving the results. I have a rdwc setup as well I use from time to time. The plants vigor in coco reminds me of rdwc plants. Here's a rdwc photo. Cheers.

Good light choice. Just make sure you have at least 35 watts per square feet.
