Hi mate how’s it going fantastic video I had the same issue. I use this soil mix and do very well in it. Peat moss has a acidity level ph of 4.5 and keeps the soil at a pH of 6.0 and stops it from going alkaline.✌ Vermiculite is great it holds 3 time it’s own weight in water and keeps the soil fluffy & it gives the autoflowers extra moisture if you miss a day and worm castings is like lollies to cannabis they can’t get enough of it and grow huge roots.
My mix:
Coco coir 20%
Worm castings 15%
Vermiculite 15%
Peat moss 10%
Perlite 20%
Tomato/vegetables potting mix 25%
Do you share seed for me
Coco sucks
You need perlite in that mix bro. Flowers drowned.
Should’ve added perlite to the coco and then buffer with cal mag and start feeding week 3 and on. Recharge is your best friend.
Lame..I was exhausted lol…
You suck at this.
8:01 add a cup or 2 of worm castings aswell and less of the Gaia way too much for seedling they don’t need shit all
We’re back bro
I start my sends in a small pot when it has grown I transplant it with the potting soil around the roots and fill with coco coir put blended eggshells and epsom salt in the coco coir. I used nutrients every 4 weeks I don’t give seedlings nutrients when in potting soil
When there that little you just gotta water around the plant not the whole pot broski
the issue is you’ve run out of nutrients in the coco. You need to preamend with dry nutes if you’re using coco, it’s meant to have absolutely no nutes. I learned that same lesson lol
I think you are drowning your plant
Bro you gave them WATER EVERYDAY….LOL
We have to get the comments to 420
also only feed when those oval starter leaves are fading they contain all the nutes your plant needs for about 8-12 days and ph should be 6.0 at this time.
just transplant a soil grown seedling into your coco coir grow and skip the plant stress
Thx
Sub up to my back up channel here, I will be posting all my old content from my original channel that I lost during The Great Purge… https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZd5vD10jcpZZCuvvLSJjw?view_as=subscriber
I did the same thing did not wash..But my auto-flower girl is thriving. I mixed it with Per- lite and a little soil i also made my own cal-mag mixing it all in several days before i moved my 7 day old into the Coco
4:19 oh shit! they really went crazy!
I have a Question? How do you order seeds online & do they also ship them to States where cannabis is still illegal??
It’s pronounced “coyer” “coco coyyyerrr”
Thanks for sharing the ups and downs 🙏 🙌
Knowing comments help you out. Awesome video
OMGEEE DUDE!!!!!!!! UGHHH UMMMM HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A HUMIDITY DOME!!! YEA THAT IS WHAT EVERYBODY USES. USE ONE!!
overwatering
Did anyone say bottom water yet? Put a little tray or shallow dish of some kind underneath. Fill from the tray and never have to disturb the top layers.
And if you want to be more professional add about 30% perlite.
Soak your seeds in a cup of water over night. Put them into 5 gallon grow bags, water them once with about a shot glass full of water, DO NOT WATER THEM AGAIN FOR 10 DAYS….. You will dramatically stunt their growth if you water the seedlings every day. The Cotyledon leaves (The first 2 leaves that are round shaped) are the source of food and water for the plants early stage of life. DO NOT OVER WATER THEM. I made that mistake on my first grow and the plants grew slightly bigger than my thumb. They were just literally one bud the size of my thumb. Even after 10 weeks, just the size of my thumb.
Second grow… Lots of perlite and watering once every 7 to 10 days (Light watering according to soil dampness) and after 6 weeks, very healthy plants with lots of pistols and nice buds forming. And if I could recommend only 1 amendment, it would be Quality Worm Castings. Not only is it an awesome fertilizer, but it keeps bugs away and it doesn’t have any salt in it like some of the cattle fertilizers do.
I’ve heard its best to add pearlite to coco for aeration and drainage. I’ve also heard you need to wash it before use unless you get hydroponic specific coco
This is an awesome Grow Brother I’ve been growing in soil but I’ve been thinking about switching to Coco as well so I’ll be interested in watching this grow keep up the great videos
My first time trying with coco and I hate it waisted my seed messing with that crap its to much work always having to water. Then its like a sponge so you can’t tell when its lacking for the most part . All that buffer crap makes not sense soil is much better and you don’t have to baby sit so much . My babies got 2 true leaves then I pulled them the hell up because my ones in soil are taking off making the coco ones look very bad and stunted .
Did you buffer the coco coir? I was told not to feed autos until they were 14 days old? I’m so confused!
So….not a doctor.
Always calibrated your PH meter at least once a week.
what ph 5.5 6.5 for this coco?
To není kokosem, ale rukama, když vidém jak se k těm klíčkům chováš.. já nemám techniku za tisíce jako ty, jen kokos, květináč, slunce a výživu.. a jde to.
Sir the cocopeat is made from coconut fibres and they’re often taken from coastal areas. So the salt content and other solutes are there .. which causes the TDS to rise.. hence use a cotton blanket, put that into a bucket, fill the cocopeat in it and wash it out 3 times. Then also leave it for 24 hrs in the sunlight. Mix with your potting soil and it’s done. You can add cow dung manure, vermicompost, other dry ammendment to increase the nutrients in soil. It’s better to use dry ammendment for the coco..
Completely saturate the coco and let the water evaporate until the top looks dry. Then mix the coco up and it’ll still be moist
Seriously I hate coco waisted money on it then on top of that I lost my seeds because of this coco it dosnt seem to be as forgiving as soil my first try with coco and im giving up . At least I know with soil I would get my good results and not having to worry about cal mag recharging and buffering that straight bs
Coco coir needs to be buffered with cal mag to alter the cation exchange sites and charge them with cal mag. When it drys out, even after buffering, it will pull cal mag from the plants. Water the coco coir with cal mag. It isnt for the plant. Its for the cation exchange sites. I have also had this problem with seedlings in coco coir; perlite; worm castings.
Wash to coco and strain it, then charge with cal mag, rinse and repeat.
Dayum that of optic 8 , great vid
Too much food there bud
You should also be cooking your super soil for 4 to 6 weeks. I cook mine. I build my own soils for veg and flower and rebuild the soil via composting
so Autoflowers are not fotosensitive. But what exactly does that mean? Would it be expected to get hermis when running a open tent under 20h light in a room with a different light cycle (I am the different light cycle;))?
I have had great success with preparing my cocci coir with nuts 2 weeks prior to planting. Cocco takes about 2 to 3 weeks for nutrients to absorb. Try it out on one plant next time and let me know what your results were. Good luck
Buddy I can’t access your links. Trying to help ya, help me, help you. Lol
bro you CANNOT water coco everyday when they are that young. if you checked your roots you 100% had leisions on the roots. its a form of root rot, how you avoid this (and transplant shock) is to start in coco plugs. when they fell over its because the leisonary fungus on your roots prevents water uptake, look it up for more info.
Damn your ppms are 150. In California bay area the ppms range from 50 to 80 I know ppms can change by fish pump bubble for 24 to 48 hrs you most likely know that. Good work
My auto is just over a month old and no flowers etc lol a did drop it and over water and it is still alive ???
