    Default Gardro's coco grow mentored by joker the smoker

    Well after a couple of sketchy first grows in soil, I’m keen to move to the world of hydroponics and coco. I really like the idea of a quick responding medium and being able to keep things dialled in (fingers crossed baby)

    Grow proposal joker, please let me have your feedback and approvals

    The room
    A timber framed and walled box insulated with foil bubble sheeting. A little over 1 x 1 m floor space and just over 1.5m tall. The room is built inside an outside garage. Ideal for 4 plants but I usually do 3

    Environment
    I have a 4 inch ruck fan (220 m3/hr) attached to an 8 inch rhino pro. The extract is ducted outside the garage itself.
    Intake is passive through a 4 inch hole. Presently it pulls ambient air in from the garage. If it gets really hot in the garage, I can pull intake air from outside the garage.
    DIY fan controller
    4 120mm fans on each of the internal walls to circulate air
    AMCOR 12 litre per day dehumidifier

    Latest “heatwave” had temps maxing just over 30 so no real issues with LED

    Lighting
    Seedling: Mars Hydro PAR 38 (pulls 16 real watts)
    Veg: 3x Mars Hydro reflector 48s (each pull 100w so 300w total from wall ) 18-24 inches height
    Flower: above plus 2 Mars Hydro 300s (each pull around 125W so total will be 550w from plug) 12-18 inches height
    All on bungee ratchets


    Medium and Nutrition
    Canna coco professional plus TBC
    Mykos (got some left, does it work in coco?)
    Rhizotonic
    Canna coco A+B TBC
    Canna PK13/14
    Canna boost
    Silicon TBC (growth technology any good?)
    pH down TBC
    Essentials pH pen ( got 4.0 and 7.0 buffers to calibrate)
    EC pen TBC

    Start in cups, then 6.5L from 2 weeks, then 16L root nurse before flip
    Feeding will be by hand and run off collected below. The collectors will be pumped out each time


    Genetics from seedsman
    Jack Herer fast fem
    C99 x blueberry fast fem
    Power Africa fast fem
    These are sativa hybrids compared to the usual indica doms im used to. Seller says 6-7 weeks flower and max growth heights of 1.4m
    With that in mind I will be throwing up a scrog net I think

    With any luck I can get the buggers germing this weekend.

    Ahhhhh shit another student mon. Haha. Ur brave homie.

    Setup seems good mate. Hold off on cup am let me check wa these mini b an q pots i use.
    Soil we wana use sumfin like verve b an q cutting/seedling mix or sumfin else jus as light.leave it with me.

    U got a heated propagator? An a cfl ? Both are fairly cheap. Unless ya happy enough to use ya led.

    Canna coco pro
    Canna coco AB
    Silicon is fine with growtec. I usually use buddas tree silicon but also dont mind growthtec.

    Ec pen can either be essentials or bluelab.either does job fine.
    Mykos not sure bro. Is it similar to great white root powder?

    Cheers jokes. Let me know on the soil mate so we can get em cracking. I popped my last seeds straight into canna terra pro and they were ok but a seedling mix makes sense. Didn't know you can start coco grows in soil but seems like a sweet idea. Wilko do some seedling and cutting mix nice and cheap

    Think the LED will be ok to start these girls. Dont have a heated propagator, I usually put them in a warm place for 48 hours

    Yeah mykos like great white bro

    Cant wait to start this, last grow still doing me nut in a bit

    Dya think this will be any good? Wilko round the corner. Says it pH 5.5 to 6 which is good hydro range too

    What about perlite with coco, is it needed?

    Yea thing is we dont want soil avin to much feed so we can pot up in to coco. We let it use up what it can out soil then pot up in to coco. But mini pots lad i will dig them out now so we can see what size to get.
    Tha wilko shit shud do lad neva used but must be similar to verve.
    Ph range dont matter tbh coz once we go in to coco we adjust to suit.
    I always start me cuts etc in soil make life easy bro an u no soil so getin them goin shud b easy as u no the score on waterin seedling etc.

    Na mate no perlite needed in coco kida. U gona finish in air pots? Wa size?
