After doing more research, it’ll probably be pure coco tbh because I’ll be hand watering and I have shit to do lol

I personally use a mix of around 25% / 75% Perlite/Coco. I hand water once a day. Seems to work ok for me.

What size pots do you use?

Really depends. My last few runs have been in 3 gallon pots but I like 5 gallon if doing a bud run and wanting bigger plants. The bigger the pot, the less you have to worry about them drying out between watering’s. The other side of that is you mix a lot of nutes. Also using plastic pots instead of cloth can help with loosing moisture between watering’s.

Nice! I’ll follow along. Here’s to hoping all 13 make it!

So far, no germination after 24 hours. These are older seeds and weren’t stored in the fridge so they’re gonna take a while.

Good luck with your grow. You have a great strain there.

I have good news…
100% GERMINATION BABYYYYY!!!
I’m stoked, I fully expected at least one of them not to pop because they weren’t stored properly.

Ok guys, this is where I ask for your help lol. How do I buffer my coco? I’m using one of those huge Coco Bliss blocks. I rehydrated it in a 66 quart tub last night and let it sit until this morning. I’ve rinsed it through a strainer until there was no tea looking water coming off and what was left was too big to go through the strainer. Now, I have cal-mag but idk how much to use. I’ve read to mix up a 150% strength solution and soak the coco for 36 hours. However, I don’t have 36 hours. I should have done this days ago but life gets in the way sometimes. My workplace caught on fire last night so I have 24 hours to get these seeds in the coco. What should be my next move?

I always start out in Solo cups as some of you may know. 13 seeds, 13 18oz solo cups. 18oz x 13 = 234oz. 234/128 = 1.8 gallons of medium. I thoroughly rinsed my coir until my bathtub was absolutely fucked, then I moved it from the strainer to a bucket of 1.5x strength cal-mag solution with a Ph of 6.5. I don’t have an EC meter yet so idk the electro conductivity of the solution.
Now we wait 8 hours for the cation exchange to happen and then boom, off to the races.
Edit: I made 2 gallons of medium which is more than enough, especially considering 25% of the total volume will be perlite, but that part completely slipped my mind. Maybe don’t take bong hits before doing stuff like this for the first time?
happy little accident.

All 13 seeds are in the cups and ready to rumble. I still can’t get over the viability of these seeds.

A wise friend once said:
“MaxiBloom/MaxiGrow if you have soft water. Dyna Gro if you have hard water. Cheap 1 part nutrition. Everything I have grown is with those 2. “Nute lines” are a scam. Embrace cheap 1 part base.
I think a 2lb bag of Maxi is like $15
You can use just Maxibloom only. 1tsp gallon seedling-harvest. I’ve done it many times, works fantastic.
Now I just use Dyna Grow “Grow”.
1 part nutrient and pH up/down and you’re good to grow.”
Shoutout to @vernal for the advice

They gave me a few freebies but I can’t remember off the top of my head what they were but the one I selected was Mothers Hashplant by Bodhi
