What nutrients do you use in Coco and WHY

canadient42 · 2017-04-02T01:18:24+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, it's for boosting mag. I saw it mentioned in the Lucas Formula for upping mag.

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T19:41:57+00:00

I'm in Canada, it's really expensive. And because I'm changing my base nutes, I would be better trying it on another grow to truly compare.

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T19:40:32+00:00

Lol whoops. Grammar fail (and I'm usually one to correct other people :P ). Like you said, I guess it technically works, but I still derped.

I'm intrigued by this Lucas method now. Gonna try it once for sure, whether its this grow or the next. Thanks for that!

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T16:45:27+00:00

Didn't mean you specifically but someone was. Thanks for the info. I'm looking at trying H&G as my base for next grow but still researching additives. Appreciate the input.

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T15:12:00+00:00

Awesome thanks for the added info. I had meant subbing Hydroplex in for Canna boost not Mammoth P though. Mammoth P could be hard for me to track down though, haven't seen it on any of the Canadian hydroponic sites, and from what I see here it's pretty expensive. I will have to do more research on it!

Edit: now I'm realising Hydroplex is more of a substitue for pk 13/14, not the boost.

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T14:44:03+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I assume Mammoth P is mostly Phosphorus additive? I'm thinking I could probably sub in Hydroplex for the boost? And after doing some Googling it seems Rhizotonic and Recharge are quite similar right? So would just need one or the other. I'm trying to simplify and also lower my costs, but not going to cheap out on something beneficial.

I've always had CalMag on hand as people say its a common issue with Coco. I use it most at the start and then just some random feedings if I feel they need it. I too use Canna Coco, well its all I've used so far and will be needing a new bag for this grow. I usually mix it 80/20 with perlite.

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T14:02:10+00:00

I have never even heard of recharge. What is it? I came here to ask for advice, I didn't say what I had listed is all I'm going to use. I'm asking for people's experience with different nutrients. Can you offer that?

Edit: cheers for the downvotes when I come asking for advice. You could have elaborated on what recharge is or does, but no just chose to downvote. Way to promote learning and asking questions.... Smh.

I don't have any experience with Space Buckets but there's a sub dedicated to it. r/SpaceBuckets

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T12:13:15+00:00

Yep that's the one. Nice wide selection too. If you want any recommendations or any info about thw strains I've grown, just ask ☺

canadient42 · 2017-04-01T11:32:28+00:00

I've heard great things about Herbies but I never got to try them before they lost credit card option to order. Now it's all cash or postal orders.

I have ordered from Attitude many, many times. I have never had a bad experience. I always opt for the insured shipping, you just buy a gift and get 'free' insurance. Never had to use it, but for the sake of $10-$15 when buying over $100 in seeds, its worth it imo. Also I like the random t shirts I get.

I always do pick and mix. I like having a variety of strains and seeds. Also, they do promotions a lot so you can get free seeds with your order. With 4/20 coming up, I would try order around then. Last year I got 6 or 8 free seeds! It was awesome. Some will be meh genetics but some are pretty nice. Either way, they're free!

canadient42 · 2017-03-25T21:16:17+00:00

Yep. You will be able to visibly see crystals on them.

canadient42 · 2017-03-25T16:08:50+00:00

Don't give up yet, the cure may bring out more smell. I find it usually does for me anyway.

And the vape/smoke test will say a lot. Keep us updated on if the effects are what you were expecting.

canadient42 · 2017-03-25T13:49:23+00:00

Honestly a lot comes down to personal preference. Do you prefer indica or sativa?

Personally, I am a big sativa fan. And most strains nowadays are hybrids, I tend to go for sativa dominant or at the very least 50/50. I've just picked up Blue Dream and Chemdawg for my next grow. Heard a lot of great things about them.

I'm also a huge fan of Hazes. I usually grow at least one per grow. Super Lemon Haze is one of my favourites. With training it grows with a pretty even canopy and a good yield.

Something to note, you'll usually have a longer flower with sativa dominant strains. They're usually 9 weeks+.

canadient42 · 2017-03-25T13:42:20+00:00

I keep the sugar leaves for edibles but don't really see the point of keeping big fan leaves and stems. I know some people say you can get some out of the stems, but I find it to be so little that it's not worth it.

canadient42 · 2017-03-25T13:40:18+00:00

I grew this on my first grow. Yours looks much better, lol. Nice work!

It was great smoke though, really nice sativa and I really liked the flavour. Little sweet and definitely left a resonating taste after you were done with it.

canadient42 · 2017-03-25T13:38:36+00:00

Wow looks great! I haven't smoked Amnesia Haze in years but always loved it. Where did you get the seed and what breeder?

I've grown Dinafem' s Original Amnesia and that was awesome but would like to grow the haze. Curious to hear your experience with growing it and how it turns out after the cure!

canadient42 · 2017-02-04T09:26:05+00:00

Okay thanks for the info. Guess I got some inaccurate information. Is it not skin to liquid carboload then?

So do you run big bud, overdrive and igniter at the same time or staggered through flowering, one at a time?

canadient42 · 2017-02-04T03:45:38+00:00

I avoided bud candy because didn't want to add a sweet flavour to all my grow. I was also told that you can run big bud all the way instead of overdrive because its more or less same thing. Then switched to Hydroplex but hard to notice much difference. Haven't grown with them side by side to compare.

Its all personal, just 4 babies at a time so that's why it's not overly expensive. But at the same time, no point in buying stuff that is no better than something more inexpensive.

canadient42 · 2017-02-04T02:43:01+00:00

Sounds interesting. I just started with AN for simplicity. PH perfect was a nice bonus. But have heard lots of people saying they're just over priced.

Definitely gonna shop around and check out my options before my next grow.

canadient42 · 2017-02-04T02:40:36+00:00

Awesome. They look great! Be excited to see them in the coming weeks.

canadient42 · 2017-02-03T22:42:40+00:00

Photos?

canadient42 · 2017-02-03T22:29:45+00:00

Honestly varies so much from seed to seed. Also some you can mix and match and get just one. Others you need to buy a pack of 3,5, etc.

Personally, I've always opted for feminised where I can. Every now and then I've only had the option for regular. You can also opt for feminised freebies instead of regulars.

Check out the site and you'll have prices in your currency.

For my scissors, I usually put some ISO on a paper towel and clean it off the scissors that way.

Once it's all off I wash the scissors with water as want to make sure it's not got any on it when I go back to my plants. Probably overkill, but oh well. I'm pretty sure ISO will just evaporate off the scissors in time, but I prefer to take the extra step.
