Coco dries out faster than potting soil, needs more frequent watering. Also has a better air to water ratio than peat moss so you can keep it wetter and still have good oxygen content, less prone to overwatering issues.
I usually resemble that remark!
Sheās happy Iām in the group to learn before wasting time, seeds, and money. So, if you said I needed a 40x80 shop for toys and a hobby grow with CO2, she might buy it!
Transplanted yesterday into 5 gal fabric bags, moved into the veg tent under a HLG 135 B spec at 135 watts about 28 inches above plants, running 18/6 standard veg light cycle. Temp 75F Humidity 55RH - got the humidifiers cranking now that I harvested the Cherry Bubba Kush.
One of the plants was gifted to a local grower friend as I only want to take 4 plants into flowering.
They are 2 weeks old today - Day 14
Thatās impressive for only 2 weeks - zkitz looking goodšš¼
What is that coco?
What Tribus do you use? This one is new to me. Is there different Tribus for veg and flower?
There is different tribus but I would personally stick with the Tribus Original mix.
Itās Canna Coco bricks, the few chunks are mosquito bits.
I have not used or bought any Tribus yet, gonna use up my AN Voodoo Juice first, but when I do itāll be what @imSICKkid recommended, the Tribis Original.
Is there a different one for veg and flower? Or just the original for everything?
There is a tribus grow and a tribus bloom. They are a company that wants to sell as much as they can. At the end of the day, save yourself some money and stay with the original mix.
They must be very happy as the bottom left and upper right plant in the pic both went from 1 point leaves to 5 point leaves at node 2, the bottom right plant has 4 point leaves at node 2 - a strange oddity like a 4 leaf clover, donāt see that very often.
Could you do this with Jackās and not add anything but the jacks?
Jacks321 seems like a great base for novice/new growers, so you definitely could. It has just about everything your plants NEED, I think what Hellraiser is supplementing is what the plants WANT.
Was the tri foliate gifted or is that it in the top left of the picture? One other question. Where did you get your plant trays? I need some those! I want the grate and tray if you can point me the right way please
Yes, Iām sure I could grow fine bud from start to finish with just Jacks and nothing added, just like I could grow fine bud with just the base nutes of Advanced Nutrients without any of their supplements, which I did with my first grow with AN. The supplements just helps in little ways here and there which can lead to a bit faster growth, healthier root system, thicker branches, bigger and denser buds and sweeter taste.
Once past the basics of what the plant needs, I provide supplements to try to maximize the quality and yield of the harvest and that takes some things Jacks donāt have in it, like amino acids including humic and fulvic acids, beneficial bacteria/microbes, B vitamins, and a molasses or sugar solution in flowering.
Yeah Iāve got a lot to learn
Yes, sheās the top left plant in the picture. I wanted to grow her out. I used to cull trifoliates thinking they were always going to grow smaller buds and have less yield but the last 2 triās I grew had the biggest buds and harvest weight of their groups, so Iāll grow her out.
Got the pot elevators and trays from BGHydro dot com, go to that site and search for pot elevator and youāll see both items come up as a result from that search.
I could see them having more to harvest in the end with the extra branch at every node. Thanks for the info good sir!
