My first time

No she doesn’t need any more Nitrogen, she is looking good atm.

Coconut water provides lots of minerals and growth hormones, and some sugars/carbohydrates that will increase good bacteria in the soil, you will need very little in a small pot like that. I use 200 mil of coconut water in 20 liters of water so that would be 20 mil per 1 liter of water.

I agree with @Shadey. The leaves are not that light in color. I would just keep doing what your doing.

A little side note: light leaves are not necessarily a nitrogen deficiency. If your leaves are to light in color it could be a calcium and magnesium deficiency. Not saying you have that issue. Just for future knowledge.

Really? I use way higher concentration. The vitacoco pressed, 1 33 oz box into a 1 gallon container and then fill the rest of the way with dechlorinated, filtered water. And 1 tsp calmag. I use it when they get about 6 sets of leaves on through flower about every 4th water. Love it. Tons of potassium and a bit of nitrogen and phosphorus, lots of vitamins, minerals, cytokinin hormones, and an assortment of simple sugars. I absolutely love it, added it into my regimine a few years ago.

I found a paper from 95 saying coconut water is better than commercial feeds (also 25 years ago). Basically it supplies and helps with potassium transport even in poor soils. And all the hormones helps with cell division etc, sugars feed your microbiome.

Looking great! When you see their leaves pointing up like they have their arms above their heads, it means they’re super happy. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it!

I prefer to go small and often with my amendments, so what would your amount of coconut water to normal water ratio be for 20 liters of water. Mine coconut water is coming out of a can for drinking normally, my nephews misses just gave me a 500 gram bag of dried powder coconut water, but its hydrophobic and leaves an oil residue in the bucket at the water surface point.

Yeah into 20 liters would be 5, thats about 15 bucks for a feed. My one for 3 bucks 5 times during a whole grow is alot different lol. I had no experience or information really when I first tried it, and found that I could feed it straight if I wanted to seedlings, :crossed_fingers: haven’t burned a plant with it yet. I find it really helps get a nice trichrome coat onto your buds if used during flower.

Five what, liters, ounces or grams :wink: , I use the organic pure coconut water drink, 500 mil for $1.75 a can, at the dollar store :slight_smile:

I use a 1 liter vitacoco pressed at $3.29 each to 3 liters water with 1tsp calmag, so you’d be doing 5:15. Way too expensive to be realistic for you. $90 over a grow for you vs. $16 for me. It doesn’t break the bank and I’ve never seen burn from it, so I go heavy. Also great for starting seeds, I mean a coconut is just a big seed, right?

OK got it, actually I dont have to pay for the powdered coconut water, my nephews misses is a manager of a naturopathic medicine manufacturers, I get all kinds of stuff for free :slight_smile:

The reason why I am asking about coconut water, people in my country - Uzbekistan - use honey water to feed weed. It’s just a street gossip, I haven’t asked from any reputable grower.

Thanks for the answers guys

I didnt know how often i should check trichomes so decided to do it one more time today…
I went up to bring the plant to my apartment again, it smells like a crazy… I was afraid that someone will jump in the elevator with me and feel the smell… Damn it smells crazy good.

They aren’t going change in a day. Wait a week and check again.

Yeah I found that out too. Probably will check them after 2 weeks, now I kinda feel that they are lil milky, so that means I have to wait a bit longer to make them Amber as @monkeyman showed.

Looking good bro. Keep it up. When I got my microscope I was looking on the daily. Because they look awesome! But they live in my bedroom. I dont have to go on a roof. No need to track unwanted attention. But if you don’t then hey! Do you man!

Hey you guys.

Days are getting warmer, and I am planning to grow 20 autoflowers and about 10 photo seeds on the soil which is offered here in the island.

I am still having an experience with my autoflower, and I think I know how to deal with them next time.

I also watched videos about LST, and pruning, and hope it will help me to get better yield. I believe my yield is too small now coz I grew in winter, that’s why the plant started flowering on day 19.

The soils is - mix of coco fiber and dirt, as it is extremely cheap, and I can’t afford dirt for all 30 plants. Moreover, the photo will grow in 7 galling pots, while autos on 3. Overall I need more than 66 gallon of soil mix.

I have more photo seeds than autos but I can’t germinate all of them as I don’t know how they will act during the rainy season. So I am gonna use CBD strains for photos for now.

By the way what will happen to my seeds if I keep them for 2 years?

Thanks

If you keep your seed strains in air tight seperate containers, or small ziplock bags inside a bigger ziplock bag with some uncooked rice as a desdicant, and put them in the freezer, they will be good for a longtime.
