Looking great.
Your planning and hard work is showing.

I know you already know....wet/dry cycle those sisters to encourage root explosion. I mention it because I kilt a few by keeping them too wet.

You got this! bongsmilie

Thanks man, all of you helping me is showing too

when you say dry? just how dry?

i used that wet/dry method with soil but have made sure to not let coco dry out too much. Maybe i could be doing that a little different?

Not to the point where they begin to wilt.....but almost.

Use a couple for testing methods.

I go by cup weight at that stage.
Amazing how light they get.
Then slowly but completely saturating with nute water until some runoff. Repeat when weight tells you its time.

Hope that helps some.

Hope I am not repeating myself but, GH SubCulture II and Great White lightly with every watering.
Good luck on your grow there Buddy. Like Tint said, you got this!

Thanks bud, so where does the Subculture and great white fit into the mixing? at the end after everything else has already been added but before ph`ing?

i will stop by the hydro store tomorrow and grab some. For some reason i thought only those using automated watering were using those products, i obv misunderstood.

I put those in very lite dose's, 1/2 rates, after adding nutes, but before pH'ing. Looks like your close to needing nutes.
As others have said, your wet/dry cycles are very important, you have to the plant roots searching for moisture and nutes.
As a side note I was a golf course superintendent for 40 years so I know about plant roots. :)

:shock:
To my amazement, I'm having success cloning in coco.
A few started showing roots after only 8 days.
Still a work in progress, but really simple so far. No domes!....no misting!.....keeping them in vegbox.

I started feeding light nutes a few days ago. I wll grab some great white and subculture today.

I never watered them last night like usual, left them until today, cups were getting lighter but still not dry.

Thanks

invest in something like Kleer, so you can do flushes correctly where called for in your feeding schedule.

Tint, I have had great success cloning in coco. I know I will do it again, but since I built this EZCloner it just works so well.

Hey Buddy, I hand water those as they tend to plug up my filters and emitters. So I add them every three days or so, pain to do it that way but works best for me using this method.

Hey guys. About time to start thinking about moving these girls into their final 2g homes.

When are you guys usually transplanting out of the cups and into pots?

i plan to pre charge and buffer coco as i did before.
Should i/can i use the mykos like i have previously in soil?

anything else i should do or not do before i move them?

Mornin' Diggs,
I maybe keep plants in solo cups a little longer then needed due to manifold training. Once I know they are fully rooted, then into 1 gallon plastic...and from there into final pot. 2 or 3 gallons fabric.

I haven't included mykos in my coco prep but I may in the future.

I do the same solo to 1 gal to 5 gal fabric. You guys need to see if you can find this root stemulizer called Tribus. Just amazing shit

I have a different brand...but definitely use it to kick-start roots after an up pot. I onlu use it going into my final pot. Initial up-potting...it just isn't needed.
