Transplanting into Coco

[FerretWrangler]

Looking great @FerretWrangler awesome to see it coming together!!!

Thanks @Sunshine.I wish i could've buried them deeper. I will start a compost tea shortly. Any clue how much I should make for 35 1 gallon pots?

 

[FerretWrangler]

I was in there giving them a pep talk anyways so I figured I'd take some closeups and a real group shot.

@Sunshine how do you feel about manifolding? I've been reading about it here http://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold (not trying to promote a different forum!!) I would like to try it on 1/4 or 1/3 of the plants I have so odds are I'm almost guaranteed a manifolded female.

First crop I'd get them healthy and flip asap while they're in the zone. The longer you veg the more chance of issues for a new grower.
You could pinch 6 out, bend 6 lst style and let the rest grow naturally as a control group and see how you go.
Experimenting is a lot of fun.

Make as much as you can so you can give them a good drench.
10gallons would be ideal

what a turnaround mate there looking real nice

I'm definitely gonna experiment a little but i will leave manifolding until I'm more experienced then I've got around 4.5 gallons that will be done soon, I'll selectively soak the dryest of them and re arrange them so I don't get mixed up, and start a new brew tonight. I put 6 mils of the Gaia mania and medusas magic, and 3 of the Herculean harvest, mammoth p and liquid bone meal, and a few teaspoons of Epsom in very recently just to give them an extremely light feed and some calmag in with the tea. @BudMonster I appreciate it hopefully they will kick ass! I really need to increase humidity in the grow room. Rh is usually 47-50 %

The tea will work wonders! Can't wait to see them start to take off

There is one thats growing at least a centimeter a day im pretty sure. I cant wait until time to flower

When you notice daily growth like that you are in the zone! What's your max headroom like under the light?

 

[FerretWrangler]

The light itself could hang at around 6.5 feet, maybe a bit higher!

 

[Sunshine]

If the max height the light will hang at is 6.5-7ft you can grow your plants to 5ft-5.5ft tall max, which is plenty.
Hopefully you'll end up with 60% females when you flip, give or take, which would mean approx 20 females. If you can get an ounce off of each or more (which is entirely achievable) then you're winning

That would be lovely! I dont expect as much but if i were able to get that i could make a few grand and keep a quarter lb. Or more, i dunno. I honestly want to keep all of it, but growing is really my shot at having some actual money for once in my life.

@Sunshine how do you feel about using colloidal silver to force a female to make pollen sacks, and crossing them with another female to get feminized seeds? Im not planning on it this go round, but i definitely need to make some seeds

You can use the female pollen on the female the pollen came from (selfing/S1) to create seeds.
The only thing to be aware of is that you cannot smoke the plant that has been sprayed, it should also be sprayed away from the rest of the crop
It's a great idea and colloidal silver is very easy to make

 

[FerretWrangler]

The equipment to make it seems expensive though I'm glad you told me to self pollinate, i might've wasted a plant someday.


Here's a pic with most plants in it from two days ago. When can i start LST?

 

[FerretWrangler]

I would get an updated pic but they are asleep

 

[Sunshine]

Looking good @FerretWrangler only thing I'd say is they seem a little on the dry side from the pics but it's not easy to tell from pics
If you let them dry too much the bottom leaves will die off and I'm seeing that too. If unsure choose 4 or 6 and run them wetter, you will probably notice these growing faster and greener, if so apply to the rest of the group

I gave the dry majority a good watering today
