Hey there, I spent a lot of the summer gathering equipment for my first grow, I tried both soil and CocoLoco, def prefer growing in CocoLoco.
It’s been mostly growing just in the medium, I only gave it nutrient boosts a couple times
So far I’ve had a 100% germination rate, two diff seedbanks, prolly like 6-7 beans total germinated.
Kandy Kush, prolly done in a week or so
Welcome to OG @FraXX You might want to go here and say hello.

Welcome to OG. Tell us a little more about your setup. Lights, tent size, fans, etc.

Welcome to OG @FraXX!
Welcome to OG! Good growing.
Hi! First real grow. These are all autos.
Mars Hydro 2000 TSW lights
CocoLoco coir potting mix (great!!! Stuff)
Everything else like the tent filter fan I got cheap from Vivosun, they make really nice equipment except for their lower range lights. However, i tried a “600w” Vivo and for 1-2 plants it’s def sufficient. But I tried to run 4 so had to switch to the Mars Hydro. A lot of people complain about SMB LEDs (switchboard types) but they work real well. The Vivosun LED actually had a fan tho, that’s one feature I wish every light had. Didn’t heat up the tent. Mars Hydro in the summer rises in temp a bit every few hrs it seems. Same with Spider Farm, I consider them about the same.
Also. I ran an experiment with very good living soil vs CocoLoco, and maybe I didn’t get the hang of soil yet, maybe overwatered, but damn coco comes out so much better. Big sexy hydro-style buds and much bigger yield. Also being new i have overwatered autoflowers before, and for that reason I really like Coco. Haven’t had any problems I couldn’t fix with a single nute feed.
In my Arsenal: Myco+ 3-0-3 and fungus inoculant, flower fuel (48% phosphorus!!! This shit makes it flower crazy, just used once). Organic soil style (KIS organic) amendment, like a good living soil. Not meant for liquid nute style, just mix with soil. Also great stuff. I have Calmag since I’m using RO water with coir and the GH and FoxFarm organic trios (you know, micro, veg, bloom, those feeds). I think mostly worm poop for N lol
Also, I got that thing on one plant where leaves are half light half dark. I did a lot of research to try and fix and found it to be genetic (however this plant is def old, I had to fix Calmag issues earlier in the grow, I use RO water, contacted FoxFarm)
This is my current fav smoke, Peanut Butter Breath. I’m an Indica (dom) guy
Thank you good sir very much appreciated
