Thread: F*** this, I'm coming back to coco!

  1. #1
    Macky Guest

    Default F*** this, I'm coming back to coco!

    Let me explain, I have loved smoking organic, the flavour is good, thicker pungent, but fucking growing it, pain in the arse man!!!!

    For years I grew hydro, then coco ( i know hydro, bt not the same you know what i mean lol), and never seen a bug in the grow room, regardless of no IPM.

    Now, in organics, Thrips.... again, i'm starting to think these fuckers love ganja more than me ffs!

    Along with the bugs, I just keep getting deficiencies, especially in flower, I just can't get the feeding schedule right. It really starting to piss me off now, its not like my plants are dying, they're doing alright. But I just can't seem to get a grasp of feeding, and i'm sick of fighting bugs!

    So, ive got some babies in some bat mix, just a week or so old, ill be transplanting them into coco and getting back on my favourite horse! I give up!!

    Yield too! I'm losing 25% off each crop I reckon. Whether its because of the deficiencies, the fact i cant monitor feed, or less air to the soil, coco always bought me more weed, AND it was always good shit!

    Might not have the pungency, but i can live with it.

    Im starting to not enjoy growing, a constant struggle, and I cant have that. Gonna do some coco runs and see how I feel in the future.

    I know the feeling. Growing is so much fun until the problems start. I am always battling bugs. I just assumed it was due to my location. When I grew in coco once I got bugs as well though.

    Figuring out the soil is a nightmare. Either getting deficiencies like you or just too hot and plants move slow.

    For me growing in soil with synthetic nutes is like your coco. I can do it with my eyes closed.

    A few more failures and I'll be back to the bottles again.

    Hopefully switching back to coco at least brings back the joy for you.

    Cheers mate.

    Sorry Macky mate but this comment made me laugh ;

    Thrips.... again, i'm starting to think these fuckers love ganja more than me ffs!


    Can't disagree with you on your frustrations though..I've had my fair share of dealing with the damn thrips over the years, right pain in the arse admittedly.

    Go with whatever is easier for you bud.

    It’s the medicinal side that would never have me going back,
    Just really don’t see how so many people have bugs also at the end of the day you haven’t really tried a living soil mix yet have you?
    This is where my big issue is with organics vs living soil.

    Wow Macky, didn't know you had so much trouble in soil. I haven't seen A bug, in years, in my tent, and I am so simple I can't do anything else even if I wanted to. I hope you do well with your Coco.

    Maybe its a coco grower thing, once you've done coco, nothing else really does it the same lol. you just have some much control, and everything is easily fixable. It's the perfect medium.

    Living soil is something i still want to do reds, but i gotta do a couple of grows where i feel like i know what im doing before i start experimenting again lol

    i'm actually looking forward to it! Like reuniting with an old friend lol
