bizzaro Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 First impressions suggest that coco and cannabis are a match made in heaven, just like cannabis and I. You hit the nail on the head, imho. Grats on becoming a coconut GN ..it really is a head turner aint it,..i went from dirt to the trusty husk and fook me what results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolene Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hello - very new to all this and was wondering if anyone has tried a landrace type sativa grow in coco? All the schedules are 7 - 8 week flowering and I am looking at 12 - 14 weeks for plants that are loads lighter feeders. I grow organically in soil but have had my head turned a bit....anyone got any tips/experience/ideas? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you've got an EC and pH pen/meter you'll be fine. I know an awesome coco grower who did quite a few runs of Neville's Haze in coco, and it ran for around 14 weeks I think. It turned out excellently, especially compared to a plant he did in soil. The EC and pH meters are a must for the sort of thing you're looking to do. It makes it all so much easier because you know exactly how strong the feed is and you can dial your grow in properly, which you'll need to with some wild sativas imho.

jolene Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 @GN Thanks for that - I found a Nev haze soon after posting and it sounds about perfect. Tempted to run a coco/coco nutrient alongside a coco/organic tea grow to see if I can pull it off. Love the look of your large plant - tiny pots Cheers!

groovelick Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 So I'm in the last 16 days of flower, over the last week I've dropped my e.c. from 1.8 to 1.6 PM coco bloom so down to 1.4 then water the last 7 days, does that sound about correct I've managed this far to get no tip burn and would hate to ruin it at such a late stage. ps this is my first coco grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budelaire Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Hi Groovelick. Check Owd's Coco Diary and Flushing technique out. An interesting feeding technique, and tip top plants come chop, thats a dead cert! I will certainly be following suite on my 1st coco grow which is just underway, seems a nice way to finish buddy. Links. Flushing & Coco/Hydro finishing technique. Simple Smellyberry - Grow Diary. Best of luck.

Guest papaduc Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yep I got formulex, only use it for small cuttings so far. Try this then mate. With a couple of your plants, move one or two of them onto formulex at about 1.2 - 1.4ec 5 days before you start your flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovelick Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I took a read up on your thread about it, it seems logical so I'm doing 2 on your method and 2 using OT1's method equal parts grow/bloom reducing e.c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest papaduc Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Sounds like a good test. Bear in mind that I haven't fine tuned this by any means. I'll be doing it again this grow, but you're further ahead than me and it'll be interesting to see what you think. Start them off on 1.2ec and just see how they look with that. What I'm looking for when I do it is a gentle paling by the time I start the proper flush - you're not looking for your plants to turn yellow and starve overnight, but you definitely want to see that the nutes within them are diminishing. At the end of flush you should be seeing a nice autumn yellow on your plants. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you get on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
