View Full Version : UK-MRS 1st Coco grow MENTOR-Blue.
Will be up and running by the end of the week so getting a head start on this diary. Had fair to middling results and some disasters with soil but Blue very kindly is mentoring my 1st coco grow.
Set up is-
Trojan TG12 Gold 1.2x1.2x2m tent.
Plant!t PH pen.
TT-102 test wand.
Canna Coco.
Canna Coco A+B
15L airpots.
Black orchid mixed flo 6" extraction fan.
Vegging with 900w Mars Led
Flowering with 600w HPS.
2x 6" clip on fans.
Yet to by PH adjusters, drip trays and pot stands.
You'll notice there is no mention of a filter. The plan is to run ducting from the tent in my bedroom, up through the ceeling into the attic where it will meet the extraction fan (less noisy that way) then ducting coming out of the fan and hack into the the stench pipe in the attic. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work just fine. (Shhhhh don't tell blue or he'll tell me off not using a filter). Can always purchace one if needs be.
I've ordered x5 Dinachem seeds (Dinafems own Chemdawg)
Lets get this coco show on the road!

I suppose I better take a seat :)
I must have read the above wrong . I’m sure it said no filter :laugh:
As soon as there’s a slight whiff in veg a filter needs to be put in even if it’s a £20 job off the bay. Anything is better than nothing. I know your plants never smell but trust me Mrs, done properly there going to stink
Am definately expecting a stink this time around. Will absolutely buy if/when needed don't worry.
The logic is though that once the ducting is installed into the stench pipe and sealed so that nothing can escape then if we've never smelt sewage in the attic then we won't smell the plants either. When the loo is flushed it forces air up the pipe and straight out of the chimney taking the smell with it. I'll pop one of those industrial air freshner cakes in the ducting too as an extra precaution 😊 Our maisonette is the tallest building in the area too so unless warm air sinks? It should work.
Oh yeah forgot to ask, you sent me a link for the ph stuff but it gave me several options, whats the name of the one I need? Cheers Blue 😊

Evening Mrs. The ph additives you need are 250ml of ph down and 250ml of ph buffer 7. Any other questions ask away :)
Regards the filter it’s a must, I’m glad to hear you’ll buy one. The air needs to be cleaned before exiting your tent otherwise we run the risk of the big red key taking your door off it’s hinges at 5am and your entire place turned upside down all for the sake of saving a few quid

Also what about bio silicon or is that just soil? No mention of coco on the plant magic bio silicon bottle or is there a coco version?
Apologies for the newbie questions lol.

Rhino pro filters are your best bet. But if your looking for budget type in 6” carbon filter on the bay and take your pick :)

I think you can use it with coco although it is designed for soil. Don’t buy any as it’s not a must. We can get by without it and keep things simple for you ;)
Okie doke, will put the rhino filter on my shopping list for a couple of weeks time and forget the bio silicon for now then. You can chill for a few days now 😂, should be set up by the weekend.
Got lots of clean mini, small, medium plastic pots to get started in will they be o.k or? Will give you a shout when my seeds are germinated (paper towel method) and ready to go in the coco. 😊

Hi Mrs.
Is this a bigger grow for you with a tent? Thought you grew in a wardrobe/small space grow?
Hi Mrs.
Is this a bigger grow for you with a tent? Thought you grew in a wardrobe/small space grow?Sort of Ben, my 1st groom was a tiny cupboard on my landing, currently finishing a grow in the attic in a self built groom that's bigger than the tent but not as tall. Can't carry on in the attic it's just too dam hot up there plus I'm due for some nasty surgery.

Been at it since about 6pm, reorganizing the bedroom and setting the tent and fan up etc. I'm half crippled and not had me dinner yet!!!
Gonna finish off my autos in it (a week tops) and going away for the weekend on Friday so it'll be early next week to pop the beans Blue.
P.s Dam this tent is hooooooooge! I could camp in it mun! I pictured it smaller, dunno why. Plenty of head room for the MONSTERS we're gonna grow 😜https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180731/136aee13ea88fe5386d8e52bd41588a9.jpg

Another step closer. Happy days :)
Suprising how big the tents are eh Mrs. As said before there’s no rush, I’m here when your ready. Hope you enjoy your weekend away :)
Anything in the meantime just ask away
Beans have arrived, realised I forgot to order the PH down n 7!! Not to worry will do it tomorrow and it'll be here Monday ready to go.
Thanks will do, a weekend sea fishing before I have to give it up for 18 months, I wont be able to cast until the metal work being put in my neck fuses to the bones. Gutted but has to be done unless I want to end up in a wheelchair wearing a nappy!
So happy the tent is all set up. Found a couple of tiny pin prick light leaks in it but nothing a little square of electrical tape won't fix.
It's got great negative air pressure, the tent sides are sucked in nicely. The sound of the air movement is a little noisy but the filter will improve that hopefully.
I put my 4 auto's in there to finish but I MAY be chopping the 3 tomorrow as after the weekend my step kids are coming to stay so it'll be difficult to do during the week. I wanted plenty of ambers but it's just not happening. The rest of the trics are all swollen and cloudy though and ripe for the plucking.
Temps in the tent are 27oC with 41 humidity. We'll see what happens when the warm weather kicks in again.
Super excited to get started!!!

Lovely Jubbly Mrs, sounds like your weekend will be a good one. Fingers crossed on the surgery I’m sure all will be ok :)
So the seeds have arrived and we have plenty of negative pressure in the tent, we’re off to a good start already :)
Weekend has gone tits up (no camp site vacancies) so just doing a day of sea fishing on Saturday.
Forgot to ask, do I need Rhizotonic? It wasn't on the list

Thats a shame on the campsite :(
You don’t need rhizotonic or any other root stimulant but you will have better results when using some. If you’d like to use it go with 500ml of plant magic root stimulant it will do you fine at £11.79 a bottle. Item number 251981996273
Do you not already have anything from previous?

Good luck with your grow OK i'll sub up and ride along if that's Ok, all the best, G'.
Just a quick question @Blue about watering/feeding. I'm trying to figure out how I can raise my air pots during the grow so that I can slide out the drip trays I'm gonna buy.
How can I set things up so that I don't have to lift the pots to get rid of the run off?
Also am seeing about 5 or 6 pin prick holes in my tent plus some light leak around the corner of the main access zip. Is that gonna be an issue? I can cover the pin pricks but the zip?
Anyhoo, got my PH down, my calibration fluid is being held under ransom at the post office.
So I think tomorrow is the day to unleash the beans! Paper towels at the ready. Will get some pics of the plastic pots I have to start off in.
Exciting times! Better than going sea fishing, sitting on a rock for 4 hours with spinal problems and not getting a single bite haha!

Oooh while I remember, I saw something on subs grow that you told him about using a bucket to mix up the feed?
Will 1 standard bucket worth be enough to feed the 4 plants in my 15L fabric pots when they are fully grown? Or do I need more than one seeing as I'll be letting the water sit overnight before mixing? Cheers Blue.

Hi Mrs,
I got orange buckets from BnQ on blues direction. They’re 12 litres and under £1 each.Buy 2 for now they won’t go amiss :)

Evening MRS :)
To raise the pots you can build a timber frame if your anygood with the Diy?
Basically a base/frame slightly shorter than size of your tent base. Lets say 1.1m. Then on top of the frame you can add some kind of mesh sheet or something similiar for the pots to sit on and the run off to pass through into the trays below.
As for the tent i agree with easy T above, undo the entire zip and double check the thick flap behind is sat correctly, it may be tucked under the pole? These tents are good budget tents ive never had an issue with pin holes etc I’m sure abit of tape stuck on the inside should sort those.... Shame really when your paying £100 you expect something half decent :(
Also as Sm has mentioned, grab a couple of buckets for mixing feeds, it makes things much easier. One may do to start with but you may need 2 for flower
Go ahead and get those beans soaking :)
Great thanks guys. I'm not handy but I know a man who is 😁 Hubby is great with all that, his joints permitting. So will get that sorted in the next couple of weeks.
Next post will hopefully be a pic of 4 happy little tap roots 😁

Right, just watered the auto OG kush I have finishing in the tent and have spotted seeds. That means she was polinated right?
So I take it I should hold off starting my grow until she's out and scrub my tent down?

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
The pollenation will have most likely happened in your other room as it tends to cross over in the very early stages of sexual maturity. But let’s play it safe and give it a good scrub with some diluted bleach/washing up liquid.
How longs the og kush got left ?
It's got a week to go I'd say. I'd be devastated to get all the way to the switch to have it go tits up and have to start again. For the sake of 7 days I'm not gonna risk it.

Dont worry this grow will be a walk in the park Mrs :)
If the Og kush doesn’t look to have matured any further in 7 days time certainly take it down... Once pollinated they tend to focus more on seed production than they do actually producing buds.
I'm chomping at the bit to get started, have all my shiny new equiptment ready to go!!!!!!!
Had a good look at the OG last night, she's 67 days from seed, my others usually take around 75 days. She's not quite there yet but ready or not she's coming down on Wednesday (got the step kids Thursday/Friday) so I'll be soaking the beans on Monday.
Got the calibration fluid. Am gonna buy a wet/dry vac from Screwfix next week. My old dry vac is useless anyway so could do with a new one. Will make dealing with the run off a hell of a lot easier for me plus no need to build a mesh frame. Just an individual stand for each pot. 😊

And we're off, gonna pop all 5 and if all germ I'll cull the runt as I don't want to go over 4.

Yes plastic cups will do. As long as you make the drain holes big enough underneath as we want to be able to see the root growth poking through to give us a better idea when to repot.
Do you have any soil to hand for the cups to start in or would you like to go with the coco straight away?
Subbed up guys, these coco grows are fascinating and be cool to get subbed at the beginning. Good luck guys

I gotta learn sometime and practical learning is preferable for me. I know it'll be more faffy but sod it, paid for all the gear, may as well put it to use.
I braved the spiders! Here's the choice, the only ones I had x4 each of. The larger pots are what I'll pot up into so what's better to start in the cups or iccle pots? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180813/8a174e753285337783f72f2be9858a77.jpg

Iccle pots please Mrs, there the exact ones I use when starting off photoperiods from seed. Perfect
The fifth seed can go in a cup if you like until you’ve chosen your best four of the bunch.
Fill them with coco but leave enough space up top to allow for a coco top up. Just in case they stretch slightly to begin with. You can add in more coco to support the stems.

Fab thanks Blue. Right, they've all popped and should have a long enough root to pot in the morning sooooo hit me!
What shall I use to mix up the feed, I've got everything from a 1pt glass jug or can do it in what ever ml/L you like.
I'll need to stand some tap water overnight right?
And of course I need amounts and instructions on how to make it up.
Explain it as if you're teaching a 12 year old lol, I have a bit of a neurological cognition issue going on (waiting for diagnosis) am not thick lol just having issues processing information but once I've done it it'll be fine if you get what I mean.

Promotion? No, what's happened? Am using taptalk so nothings notified me. Ooooh exciting!
No root stimulator no but can order some on Thursday. Would I be better off in soil to start? I THINK I have some B&Q verve left from my last grow, I've got rooting powder if that's any use.

Which rooting powder do you have? Remind me
Also was gonna ask, I'm TOYING with the idea of instead of buying a 600w HPS, maybe going for a 2nd 600w LED panel. Giving me around 500w true wattage.
Giving that even with extraction and my intake duct sitting on the window sill I'm still hitting 30-33 day time temps in my tent. So unless I buy air con (too dam noisy for my bedroom) then I'd be screwed on a warm day with HPS heat.
But I'd be trading off light penetration though wouldn't I. But I'm figuring that if I got 2oz from an auto in soil under 900w LED in the past then surely I could get 3oz+ with 1200w in coco?

As for rooting powder, it's just a tub I picked up from poundland for my garden cuttings.
I have some canna terra pro plus soil left if I'd get better results with that?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/72389026dacc623df0f0a243bcfe421f.jpg

I’m not a massive fan of Led tbh, but I can’t say much as I’ve had to use one due to heat also. The one I have is a meizhi 600w with grow and bloom switch. It’s not bad and gets the job done I suppose but it doesn’t compare to good old hps.
If your set on getting another go for it but I doubt we’l get the results I was hoping for on this grow with just Led alone :(
Here’s the plan Mrs :)
. Fill your pots with coco as mentioned previously
. Fill up a spray bottle with just straight tap water
. Lightly spray the coco on top including the small seed hole.
. Pop the seed in knuckle deep. (Tap root down)
. Stick them in the tent under your led light
Leave out the rooting powder we will be ok without. But order the root additive when you can :)
Maybe if I have my light cycle to be lights on during the evening/night I can cope with the heat better. Autumn will be here by the time veg is over so when I buy the HPS I should be ok hopefully.
Is it better to water just before lights on or lights off or doesn't it matter? Need to make sure I'll be awake lol.
O.k when you say spray the top of the coco and the hole ready for the seed. Am I aiming to only wet just the top of the coco? Wouldn't I be risking it drying out super quick and killing them? And do they not need any feed in the beginning? Sorry for the quick fire round lol.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
If you was to purchase a digital ballast you could always dim it to reduce the heat. On the lower setting of 250-400w it will still out perform the led and run cooler.
Lights on or off for watering doesn’t really matter through veg. But I’d prefer you to water a couple of hours after lights on during flower to prevent a big hike in humidity during 12 hours of lights off. Obviosly theres alot more moisture in the area after watering but heat and light seem to keep it at a resonable level whilst on.
The plan is to water to a wet to dry cycle for the next week as you would a soil grow but never allow the coco to completely dry. Spray before planting to wet the medium and give it a spray after planting too. Check up on it when possible and give it another spray to prevent it drying out too much. Once its above ground you can look at watering the small pot rather than spraying.
No nutrients as yet. Again not until its above ground and almost established.
Groovy, I'll go with the digital ballast then, I'll bug you for a link when the time comes.
So here are the beans this morning, I want to do it by the book so are the 3 with longer roots ready to go in or shall I hold off a bit longer? 😊https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180815/93f3f4022317276cc7e220f0b5c1d4a1.jpg

The 3 with the longer roots are certainly ready for a pot up. Leave the other two until later on today :)
And we're off! Good news n bad. We have 3 above soil and looking happy. The other 2 beans popped and produced a little root but then gave up by the looks.
Sooooo what to do. If I order more beans It'll take days to get them and by the time they're in the coco they'll be a week+ behind the other 3 but I need to dry in the tent so :( Don't know, what do u recon?

Evening Mrs, No 30 minuets too early won’t matter at all. Interrupting the light cycle during 12/12 is where you’ll start to see problems, not so much in veg.
Regards the meter it should just drop in the water and show a reading there’s no setting up required. I can only suggest taking out the battery’s and replacing or putting back in and trying again. Glad to hear you’ve taken the cap off as I didn’t want to ask ��
They can be fed tomorrow but I’d ideally like to know your tap water reading first? Once you have it get back to me and we’l take it from there :)
ps feed water needs to be stood for 24 hours prior to feeding. Less than 24 will be ok on the odd occasion
Morning Blue. Bugger I should have stood some water yesterday. Was a bit hectic to say the least. Will do it now, is there a preferable amount? I'll pop it in the tent.

Morning :)
Its no problem on the water, stood for a just a few hours will do this once. You need enough water to wet the whole pots. So your watering until a little trickles out of the drain holes. I doubt you will need a great deal being in mini pots. Around 1 and a half to 2L?
Il instruct on how to prepare the feed as soon as we know the waters Ec number :)
Right, what am I doing wrong here. I filled a jug with tap water about an hour ago. Not feeding till lights on at 7pm.
Put new batteries in the EC meter. As you close the battery cap the lights flash one after the other.
So I then put it in the water for 1 minute...nothing.
Take it out....nothing
Put it back in again.... nothing.
Am I being dumb? Found instructions, they say to let the probe "warm up" in the water for 1-2 mins. Is that what it is? Is the water too cold? I'm bamboozled 😖

Something doesn’t sound right here. It’s not you don’t worry. I’m guessing you have a faulty meter. As the instructions say dip it in and wait a moment to adjust to the waters temperature. If it doesn’t work this time it’s definitely faulty. What’s the lowest reading the meter gives in EC on the display ?

Not to worry try the following.
Take some of your water Add in 1ml Part A and 1ml Part B (Base Nutrients) and stir. See if that shows a reading. We won’t be using this water it’s just a meter test.
Still no reading with 1ml of each try 2ml of each

That’s rather high for only 1ml of each. Was it a very small amount of water? Try diluting it down now with more water from the tap. Does it lower the reading?

Quite the opposite, it leaves me to believe you have extremely hard water like myself. Mines 1.0ec from the tap and can cause no end of problems. Maybe we found the answer to your issues on previous grows?
An average reading for medium hardness in water should show around 0.2-0.5 before any nutrients are added. Forget the meter and Leave out the A and B for now. Let’s do this a different way for the first couple of feeds... Feed instructions to follow :)
Mix up a feed:
.Add in 2ml per litre of your root stimulant.
.Give it a good stir
. Now test the water ph with your ph meter
. Take your bottle of ph down and add in the tiniest of a drop (stir)
. Now grab your ph pen again, place it into your water a second time and take a ph reading (Your looking for a ph of 5.8)
. If it needs lowering further apply another drop until you get it right.
. If it’s slightly under 5.8 add in some tap water to raise it.
It may take some getting used to at first but you’ll soon get a feel for it. Don’t get any ph down on yourself or the carpets this stuffs lethal and highly concentrated

Okidokie Mrs
You'll still be using base nutrients but for the first couple of feeds just the root stimulant will be ok. Yes as you say the traces in your water will do just fine for the moment.
In the meantime have another go with the Ec truncheon. This time fill a bucket and add in a 2ml of each A and B see what sort of readings you get? We need to determine whether it’s 100% faulty so you can send it back for an exchange.
Theres a little probe in the top, 2 prongs if I recall. Double check there clean

Ok now we’re getting somewhere. It looks to be working. You have an Ec of 0.5 there :)
Stick with just the root stimulant for this feed we will add in A and B at the next. What you need to do is add in enough A and B so the meter shows a reading of 0.3. I don’t wont to give you information over load today so il explain at the next feed.
So your watering to a little bit trickles out of the drain holes tonight. Root stimulant 2ml per litre and then ph,d to 5.8

I usually stand my water in the bucket. I find it’s easy to prepare a feed in it rather than a bottle etc. All you do then is use a jug to take it from the bucket to plants.
Yes feed the root stimulant tonight as I listed out previously. Your meters a good one I doubt it will need calibration to start with as it’s factory calibrated

So just add 1 drop of PH down at a time and stir right, till I get to 5.8?
If I get to like 6.0 or 5.9 would 1 drop be too much?

Spot on Mrs
If you get it to 6.0 or 5.9, Add the tiniest amount to drop it a little further. If you over shoot a couple of points and it ends up 5.6-5.7 add a little tap water to take it back up.
Give it a try in a jug first you’ll see what I mean
Took a bit of faffing because I overshot to 5.7 but got there in the end. I did a mix of 1.5L in a plastic pitcher so added 3ml of root stim then PH down a drop at a time to 5.8. All done and tucked up for the night, Temp at 27, RH at 61.

I had a tiny brain fart with the purple bud, I came home tipsy on Sat night and remembered I had it soaking in the cup but instead of paper towel I popped it straight into coco (Duh). But had a peek just now by very gently digging it up and it has popped. Just a tiny white bit of root poking out but thats good enough for me. Hopefully see her up in the next few days.
The 2 remaining Dinachems I did what u said and put them in coco with their heads poking out. Nothing as of last night. Will go check them in a min.

Should you get any issues you’ll be glad to know it’s always an easy fix in coco. 2 days and your back on track where as before in the soil your forever chasing problems and it could take weeks to correct.
I agree coco can be a little faffy but once you get a feel for it you’ll have a feed mixed up in a matter of minutes. After a while you wont need the Ec or ph pen either tbh as you’ll know what amounts give what readings ;)
Fingers crossed on the purple bud showing its head.. As for the others above ground what you need to do now is let them dry slightly over the next day or two before another water
Shame about the dud seeds are they from are sponsors? Give them a message you might get some more if your lucky. Got to be worth a try
Checked the remaining Dinachems and both have rotted. Never mind. All hopes pinned on the Purple bud to perform now. Come on little girl, you can do it!

Got to be worth a tryGot them from Seedsman, I've had to have some replaced once before as they kept keeling over 24 hours after getting above soil. Turned out it was damping off because I stored my soil in our tin shed over summer and it went fungal. Cost me a fortune in seeds working that one out haha. You live n learn.
This time may have been my fault too perhaps. I put the plastic tub with paper towel inside on top of my aquarium as it's nice n warm but perhaps it got too warm? All 5 sprouted but those 2 were left an extra 48 hours to get their roots longer but obviously rotted off. Will stick to the airing cupboard next time 😊
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
And yes I thought that, like if I was doing the same feed next time with the same 1.5L of water I'd know to go straight in with at least 6 drops of PH down and then measure.
But next time will have A+B so it'll be different. I'll keep using the meter though just for my own peace of mind.
Ooh also forgot to ask. You know the little sponge inside the inner cap of the ph pen? That should always be left on right? Even while in use? And kept wet? Instructions were pretty vague.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I presume the sponge is a protector for the probe and possibly to keep it moist... Most keep there pen in fluid while not using. I never bother and haven’t had a problem

You may get away with a couple of days. The problem with storing water without a bubbler is the ph rises rather rapidly when stood aswell as loses oxygen
The drier pot above will be ok. Water this evening :)
Tonight’s feed
Add in root stimulant at 2ml per litre
Add in Part A and B of your base nutrients until the Ec meter flashes 0.4. (Based on your last practice mix in the 10L bucket this should work out around 1.5 ml. (I’m not sure what your storing the current water in size wise)
Stir and Check ph
Adjust to ph 5.8
Water til a little comes from the drain holes.
Job done ;)
Great thanks Blue.
Do I need to mix up 10L just for my little pots? I've only got 1.5L of water standing in a large jug.
For 1.5L I'd add 3ml of root stim then add equal amounts of A+B till I hit 0.4 EC then PH to 5.8, would that be o.k?
Can then start using a bucket next watering.

Hi Mrs its all about the maths n measures , I’m sure 1.5l will do it but you need it to reach the bottom n allow it to drain. I’m sure blue will clarify later when he’s done with work.
You can get 2L jugs from Tesco £1:50 each if you want to store more . You will need buckets tho as time goes on. I’ve just given mine 1.6L each approx. A bucket for each plant for catching the run off when you get to that kind of watering as I’m taking out about 1.6 -2.0 L from 4 plants as run off.
Certainly better to have more water than you need ... as I found out too 😂
As i say blue will be along to confirm 👍🏼
Cheers SM

Yes thats fine Mrs, I only mentioned the bucket measurements to give a rough idea on A and B amounts in what ever your using at the moment. I doubt youll need much at all
Was in a rush cooking for the minions and managed to overshoot with the A+B so had to dilute with tap water to get from 0.5 down to 0.4.
Got the PH spot on though 5.8.

Will check at lights on (7pm) the Dinachems are probably o.k but the Purple may need a little.
They didn't get purple the 1st time I grew, I think cooler temps are meant to help towards the end, will give it a try :)

Also, when I go it alone next time, how do I know when to increase the feed like today? I know there's a schedual I can follow for early veg, late veg yadda yadda but what is it that made you suggest I up to 0.5 EC today specifically? Cheers Blue :)
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
To save alot of hassle give the purple bud the same feed as the others, im sure it will be fine.
Judging an increase in Ec is done by the colour of the plants. As a general rule you always start 0.1 - 0.2 above your background Ec. We know yours sits around 0.2 from the tap, so you started with an Ec of 0.4. Your now increasining this further due to the plants colour. Do you see how they have become a slight yellow in colour? This indicates they need more feed. So you increase your total ec by a point at first to see how they take it. Hopefully this should darken the colour. If it doesnt you take it a point further at the next feed and so on.
Always start low and work your way up in increments of 0.1-0.2. This way you’ll avoid giving too much too soon and will find your plants sweet spot more easily.
Ok, have run into a weird issue with the feed.
Got my 1.5L of water, added 3ml of root stim, good stir, then 3 drops each of A+B, that got me to 0.6 so diluted with my cup of bedside water from last night and got 0.5.
Did my PH expecting to need to lower it as always but it's coming out as 3.9???? So thought it must be my ph pen needing calibration so I tried my pen in the calibration fluid at it came out as 7.3! So calibrated to 7.0.
Tested again and I'm at 3.6. Wtf? What do I do now, not got PH up 😖 @Blue

Its always best to check ph first before altering as you've just found out.... The canna A and B can lower the ph of water so thats probably your issue.
Try adding in an extra 3ml of root stimulant to the mix and see if it takes the ph up? Failing that youll need to make another mix.
Nope, extra root stim not helped.
You've lost me now, PH before? If I have to hit a certain EC by adding the A+B then whatever that does to the PH can't be helped can it? I could PH before and after root stim and before and after A+B but if it's gonna lower the PH it's gonna lower the PH right? So theres nowt I can do to stop it during the mixing. I'm confused lol.
Can make up a new batch at 7pm lights on, I'll stand a 10L bucket of water now for it.

What I meant was always check the ph of the water before your about adjust. Yes you may have already been lower than the ph you was looking for but I hazard a guess it would have only been a fraction under and its easily sorted by adding more tap water.
What you have done is take an already low ph even further out of range beyond the point of adjustment
I'll talk you through exactly what I did a sec cos I'm confused.
I added the 3ml of root stim 1st, stirred then added 3 drops each of A+B and sirred again, then checked the EC whi h was 0.6 so I had to add more water to get 0.5, I then checked the PH to see how much PH down I'd need to add but it was at 3.9. I didn't add PH down at any point. What point should I have checked the PH and what could I have done if it was already too low? Add less A+B? But then my EC would be too low?
The only time I PH'd was after getting my EC to 0.5. Sorry am I being completely dull, I am arnt I lol?

No its not you its me :laugh:
I was under the impression you had added ph down after adding your A and B without checking the water ph beforehand. Im with you now, thanks for the explanation. I blame the weed :(
Ok so if the A and B is reducing the ph of your water like it is before your actually adding any ph down try increasing the amount of water in your mix. So lets say you have 1.5L stood ready to make up a feed. Try more water than this so the A and B isnt as heavy on the ph. Half fill a bucket with a quite a few litres rather than the small amount you are doing.
Yes you may have a little waste to start with but theres nothing we can do at the moment. Once the plants are in larger pots and are drinking more theyll be no waste.
It may be that little to no ph down is needed at all with the method above. Let me know how you get on mrs

As an aside B , I was cock on 5.8 today after all additives , used the silicone to bring it up , not even 0.3ml was needed 👍🏼
Hardly using any PH down now myself Mrs , trust me it gets easier when your mixing up bigger volumes, I’m now mixing 10L as of today , started on 4L then 6L then 8L. It’s all about the maths n measures 👌🏻
Bit daunting in the beginning but as blue says it sort of all clicks into place and you get to know what to use to adjust EC n PH.
Hang in there pal 🤜🏻
Cheers SM
All plain sailing tonight. I used 5L in a bucket, 10ml of root stim, 1ml each of A+B and it hit 0.5 exactly. PH was at 7.1 so PH'd down to 5.8.
Bloody hell Blue, don't mess with my head like that mun lol, I was sat there as confused as Joey Essex doing long division! I went back and had a read through your sticky too "coco for noobs" and was like wtf??? Haha.

How are they looking Mrs?At 10 days old now, still looking pale to me and growing sooooooooo slowly.
When I upped to 0.5 I noticed the light on the meter was flashing twice on the 0.4 and once on the 0.6. I figured it meant that it was closer to 0.4 than 0.6 am I right? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/14c428ccd3958325c0cfc865723309ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/fb8ab2d9791a6dcb31ccbe651a62258c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/ea248cba3de550e034f20efb15bc92bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/c2e8d16231b3cb83580d5be4058e7402.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/3cccebc8e77a84578490ca5c52e3bb0f.jpg

Is this with the camera flash on?
What you need to do now is feed again I presume you have some water on standby. Increase the total Ec by 0.2. We’re looking for there sweet spot, nice and green we then keep it there.
So mix up a feed 2ml per litre of root stimulant. Add in your A and B to give you an Ec on the meter of 0.6 or flashing between 0.6-0.8. Ph to 5.8 and feed again to a little run off
Nope no flash, I just sat them on the landing windowsill for the best natural light. Definately pale. No water on standby, was going to do it tonight ready for tomorrow. Is bottled water any good? Can run up Tesco metro for a couple of 2L bottles.
Do people use de-coordinator? I usually have it in the house as have 2 fish tanks. Not got any right now though (typical). If so it would be handy for if I forget to stand some water or if I mess up my feed and need to start again.

Give it the same and water at the same time too. Let’s bring it inline with the others Itl soon get used to it.... Save a lot of hassle ;)
Also keep an eye on the underneath of the pots for roots. Once you have a few you can repot

You should see some change by tomorrow... How close is the led to the plant tops?
Morning, light is 18" away from the leaves. Started at 20". I tend to keep it at 18 until flip then I let them grow into it a bit, no more that 15" though.

Are the pots light? If so feed again tonight. Increase your Ec by another 0.1. So your 0.6 above your background Ec which to me is excessive but you have to do as the plants want I suppose.
Make up a feed 2ml per L of root stimulant and add in Equal amounts of A and B to give a final Ec of 0.8. Ph 5.8
The 3 Dinachem are a lot lighter than the PB so no probs, will do it before I go to bed tonight as I only filled the bucket when I got up this morning. Cheers Blue.
Man if these plant's don't speed up I'll be lucky to harvest before New year!!!
Might go auto next time tbh and start off in soil. What's the average yeild per auto plant in coco under 600w HPS?

Hello Mrs firstly the one off dark period is no problem. Continue as normal.
Secondly there taking to the higher feed much better. Increase your Ec by another point. So thats 0.9 total. (Flashing between 0.8-1.0 on the meter) feed again tonight.
Can you run me through exactly what your doing to make up this feed? Also could you place the meter into a bucket of tap water again and let me know the reading? We need to rule out theres no underlying issues causing the paling with such a high feed. Your adding in the part A before B right? .

Adding 10ml of root stim, good stir.
Adding 1ml of A then 1ml of B and stir.
Test EC.
Adding a a few drops at a time of A the B and stiring again and repeat till I get to desired EC.
Testing PH
Then adding PH down a drop or 2 at a time till I get to 5.8.
What is it I'm doing wrong, should I be stiring in the A before I add the B or something?

Your not necessarily doing anything wrong I just wanted to check the feed was ok. Having such a low background Ec and feeding the Ec you are is uncommon.
It would be better if you could put the correct amount of A In first, give it a really good stir then add the correct amount of B followed by a stir rather than adding bits of each until you reach the Ec your looking for.

SmCheers Sub, still getting to grips with it all. I get it in theory but the practical sometimes bakes my fragile noodle lol.
I have faith in our Blue. It's just such a mad change from the auto, LED, Soil switching to Photoperiod n coco. I'm so used to the plants being so much further along by now. I never did struggle during veg, I used to do really well but as soon as I'd hit flower 3-4 weeks in with my Auto's it would start to go tits up and no matter how much love and attention I'd show them....
Guess I'm just waiting for the "tits up" moment. Seeing a bit more growth on a daily basis now though so am starting to feel a bit better about it. Thanks to Blue :)

Pots feeling light blue so will water them this evening. 0.9 EC and Ph to 5.8 as always. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/88e9882162989af9d40d7cdcce89889e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/d4e99b0a5a5f7ab482fff47fb13850e7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/f291afb974088e56fe226c8c4db357fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/f0f7b0d62afe9667ec5329df6c44eb5c.jpg

Lovley Mrs, now were getting somewhere :)
No problem with todays feed that will be fine. The yellowing lowers could be one or two things. Either they've dried out a tad too much or theyve used up the stored food during there hunger spell.
Were looking to pot these up over the next few days as soon as you see roots. You shouldn't be far off :)
All done, got there a little quicker tonight, I know for next time now to add 5ml each of A+B then if the PH is the same as this evening 7 drops of PH down should do the trick 😊https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/2af8b48a75ee6a81575f59c674649dcb.jpg

It certainly sounds like your on the right track now. It Just takes a week or two to get into the swing of it :)
Place some water on standby as they may need another feed tomorrow depending how fast these small pots are drying out
Will do Blue. I'm trying to work out a rough time to harvest, how long a veg time do you see these needing? Will switching to HPS during veg produce faster growth?

Will hps during veg produce faster growth? Absolutely. It’s like night and day, theres no comparison the hps (duel spec) would be far superior.
4 plants in coco under a hps light would usually veg for 4 weeks and return around 16-20oz dry after 8-10 weeks flower

When you have time could you pretty please send me an ebay link for one you'd reccomend. Around the £80 mark preferably, on a tight budget this month. Thanks Blue :)

Much better MRS, as mentioned previous if there drying out by the end of today feed again exactly as you did do before.
I shall find you a light kit later on today, I’m sure your budget will be fine for a full kit :)
Looking forward to this taking off, it's gonna be a big change for me having only ever grown indica dominant and autos.
It struck me earlier too, how am I gonna manage to tie branches down in these fabric pots lol? Any tips anyone?

LOOKING GREAT mrs . Ive been using HPS dual spec for a whole yesr from start to finish and the plants love it much better i find the standalone hps or MH . Add an led.in there during flower and veg and youll be laughin .
I just find with LED alone . The need for calcium is greater in hydroponics(incl coco) or its uptake is inhibitied thus requireing a larger dosage im still on the fence whats causing it to be honest
I’ve taken a look around for a ballast kit. There’s a few out there ranging from £80-90. So there at the top end of your budget. I did come across this one which I think is the one you posted previously and it’s £10 under the budget. Item number 153132721735
I can’t vouch for the brand or quality but it should be ok. If your happy with this you need to select the duel spectrum bulb on the option tab.
Theres plenty of other options like cooltubes and others etc but I don’t know what your wanting

Also I need to order a timer, which would you recommend a Black orchid or Lumi or other for £15 or less?
I'm hoping heat won't be an issue as I can pull air in from directly outside, or switch back to my LED temporarily if there's any freak warm weather. Won't be ordering till the 16th. So whatever will perform best really Blue. Thanks, always appreciated :)

Very sneaky indeed, I knew something wasn’t right there.
Ok prep your larger pots, fill to the top with coco and leave a hole in the centre for the plant. Gently place them into there new homes and water around the outer edge of the pot only. No run off needed.
Your water/feed needs to be exactly the same same previous. Ec 0.9 ph 5.8

I've never done the watering around the edges before as I was always scared of drying/stressing my plants out. Will have a crack at it this time though :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180905/f14dd7bd6bf38a22622492d860ac379e.jpg

Go for the green ones. Not sure what size they are but they look around 3L?
Then in a weeks time repot into the final airpots

Then in a weeks time repot into the final airpotsThe green ones are not that much bigger than the ones they're in now, wouldn't I be better off going for something that's around halfway in between what they're in now and the air pots they will finish in? To compare the sizes the lone pot in the front is the size they're currently in :)

Sorry for taking a while to get back MRS, hectic day here.
If your still waiting to pot up go with the following
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180905/2edb9ce26318a449a2e9315743900ec4.jpg
Going half size isn’t necessarily the best method when using basic pots. The root growth in standard pots circle the outa of the pot leaving you with lots of unused coco/space in the centre. By increasing the pot size gradually your building a bigger, stronger root mass for more fruits by always filling your pots with roots from the centre out if you follow.

Afternoon, long story but couldn't pot up last night so did it just now.
All had nice root systems even the younger one (Purple Bud). 2ml of root stim per L, A+B to 0.9 EC, Ph down to 5.8 and watered around the edges of the pots.
Will be ordering the HPS next week.

There probably going to droop for a day or two as they have done above, but not to worry they’ll soon pick up. :)The droop is my fault, I couldn't pot up or water last night, family drama lol. I did dither as to wether I should water the whole pot or just the edges because they were pretty dry but figured what the hell, they'll soon find the wet coco and shoot out roots. Will keep a close eye on them.
Ordered a Lumii timer being delivered tomorrow cos going fishing again from Sat morning to Sunday tea time. Will water Sat morning before we go just to be safe even if they don't need it.
I thought of a cheap way to set up the 15L air pots. Gonna put x4 washing up bowls in the tent and put a small fridge shelf on each one with the pots on top. Snip out a small area on each shelf thats big enough to get a wet/dry vacume nozzle into lol. What u recon?

Yeh shame about the washing up bowls. I worry about the parts of the pots that would be sitting on the wood and sitting on a wet baton but then can always turn the pots once a day before watering when they're big.

I look forward to seeing this new light in action. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised ;)
I'm o.k with training, saying that could probably do with polishing my skills a bit. I can single top just fine, get a nice even canopy. Just seeing Subterranean man talking about run off testing etc, seems more complicated lol.

Glad to hear it, that should make the process a little easier. Topped once tied where possible and supercropped is the plan when we get there.
Sm’s run off readings have been a nightmare tbh don’t expect to see the exact same as it’s not usally as complicated. He’s had abit of bad luck with his fast and vast that needed putting right. Hopefully it’s plain sailing for yourself and we rarely have to go through that
Have never supercropped before lol. All I normally do it top and tie down to open up the center to light and get the tops even. Could do with more guidance but we'll worry about that when we get there.
So why is it necessary to test run off? Is it to do with salts build up or something?

Supercropping before flower works really well. I shall show you when the time comes.
Run off is tested to see what’s going on at the roots although it doesn’t always give a 100% true indication. I read the plants health first, colour etc and only ever check run off if I see an issue arising to help me diagnose the problem easier.
Here’s an example of run off testing:
Your plants look hungry but aren't taking up nutrients. Your feed going in is Ec 1.0 Ph 5.8. So you water/feed to run off and test the Ec and PH of the run off water. This will tell you what’s happening in those pots. The readings show the run off water coming out has an Ec of 1.6 and a ph of 4.0. You’ve now found there’s more feed at the roots than your putting in via water ie a salt build up, which in turn has thrown the rootzone ph out as salts tend to do this.
You now know the plants look sad and hungry because the ph is out and there not uptaking any of the nutrients your putting in.
Flush and resume as you were :)
Ah I see. Cool beans. Lots more roots when I popped my head in this morning. Will pot up tomorrow and get pics for u then. All looks fine today. Best buy another bucket tomorrow too eh :)

Sounds like a plan. As before Ec 1.0 Ph 5.8 ;)
