Greetings @Floyd is always a pleasure to read to you, I just come from your jumó about " watering coconut by hand" or something, it was your first coconut crop, there is good information.
I’m going to stop by to read your new career and be present out there.

I am currently growing coconut for the first time, using Athena Nutrients at all waterings, always measuring runoffs
If this was my garden I’d be defoliating those big leaves that are covering up the bud sites I’m a big defoliator, if they can’t handle it starting week three, they better toughen up! Looking good!
I believe at some point I ran into an issue with too low ph, too close to light or phosphorus potentially as the blue diesel plant got a lot of discoloured leaves around the bottom and older leaves
According to rocket seeds my blue diesel plant could be starting on its last week today at day 42 but I’m going to keep and eye on it and wait to see lots of cloudy trichomes.
And the crop king plant is really branching out as well but isn’t as far along of course, I’m kinda happy about that as I’ll see what both lights on one plant in the tent can look like as I originally meant to do.
Thanks for sharing your grow!
I love your cat avatar picture!
Plants are looking great.
I bet you, if you were to try seeds from different breeders that you will grow even better plants!
Thank you @chronix for your kind words and i think you are completely right about the breeder situation, I got these seeds when I had smoked a ton but never grown none and was taken in by rocket seeds from a podcast, I can’t wait to start some better genetics haha! The kitty is my boy Reggie, who may have even caused my pH issues as for a while I’d been leaving a vent hole in back open and he’d been climbing in chomping leave who knows how long hahahaha! So I really hope he didn’t pee in their pots but I’ve been told they will if they get them alone
The crop king plant will definitely be getting the benefit of a few weeks alone in the tent, which is good because it looks a lot bushier and I had to bend the main cola area because of the low lights
Because I wasn’t planning on two plants at once I didn’t really have much of a dark place other than the tent that’s still in use for the crop king so I had to cut the stalks smaller than I wanted to originally so they’d fit in this cupboard. Also won’t be much control over the RH as I haven’t gotten a controller yet so this will just sorta be seeing what happens and I’ll have a humidity controller I can hook up to the humidifier in the tent for my next.
I definitely won’t be buying from them again, I picked these out from an ad before I really knew anything about growing and wanted to try my hand at outdoor, ended up with two 6packs and these two plants are really the only ones who have made it. Although I did share some with friends so maybe they got some good results. Basically because they took etransfer I was like sick let’s go! But I heard from a podcast of a breeder last summer they were faking a strain from him and I thought that was pretty greasy they would do that. Can’t believe there’s podcasts out there who are sponsored by rocket seeds like how are we supposed to believe anything you say taking money from them
I’m a lil’ late to this thread but I’d recommend feeding at a lower pH level next time for coco (if you were feeding 6.6 it seems high for coco) more in the 5.7-6.2 range I’d think. Sucks about the crispy top plant but exciting that you have some joti seeds. I need to get some myself but my seed collection is already too massive and I’m poor af
Hey thanks glad you could make it lol! I think you are totally right!! The crop king is getting watered around 6.1-5.8 700s ppm the last week and maybe bit, but was too late for blue haha! And I’m going to be figuring out a better rigging tonight so the plants don’t have to be so close I think that may be another factor to the crispy lady. I have a pack of big smooth romulon cross he included for free with my purchase of a pack of god strawberry cough! I reeally wanna go with the strawberry cough but also kinda wanna wait til I’m super dialed in since I love the smoke so much and want it to be perfect when I finally get it again what do you think?
Sounds like a plan. I have so many seeds in my collection atm that I don’t wanna grow yet because I’m not confident enough that I wont fuck em up haha. Seeds def aren’t cheap so it’s heartbreaking when things go wrong or don’t turn out as planned. I ruined a Bodhi pack that way so like to “practice” with freebies or packs I have multiples of
