thanks again. So far so good....I'm very pleased with how things are progressing this grow. The coco has a lot to do with that.

But tonight it is COLD! 10 deg C in my room right now. Light on in 15 mins. This is my first lights off temp below 15 deg C. The oil filled radiator will be coming out of it's summer hibernation tomorrow I think. If I can make a space for it! :roll:

I got a 5 pack too and i only popped 2. I wasn't gonna do 'em coz i got let down by ghsc with the white widow which i got at the same time. The ssh i'm doing are very different, one is just one main cola and smells like lemons and the other is very thin and branchy, 2 of its branches are longer than the plant is tall (does that make sense?) and doesn't have much of a smell to it.

yeah man, of my 3, two are pretty similar and quite squat with mulitple branches after FIMing, then my fav one has just branched out those two long colas and really stretched. I don't know if I missed the FIM or what, but I like the two long branches a lot! :)

Got my heater in place this morning. Lights have been off for an hour, it's pretty damn cold out still and I'm running at 19 deg C....51% RH......nice! :)

I know....fuck indeed! LOL..... I would normally be in 11l or 15l pots by now with my previous soil grows. But to be honest mate, I really don't think you need such large pots with coco, as my plants are proving to me so far. It's kind of an accidental experiment and I am happy with the results so far. The true test will be over the next 4 weeks, but I think if I was going to have problems with my 4L pots, I'd of had them by now. The plants are totally done stretching now and it's all about the buds from here! :)

The pots are THICK with roots of course. It's my main stalk I'm most impressed with, will get pics next update. You can see the thick fibrous roots almost like another branch, coming out the stem and into the coco. It's impressive!!

Great job----love all the pics and the plants look real nice. Can you give everyone your watering schedule in the begging for everyone(how often you were watering). Thanks---I ran straight coco once and it seems to stay wet too long but your not having that problem. I had great results with 50%perlite---50% coco. Once again great journal---looking forward to the finish...

this is the future for my grows. 6L airpots.......

I'd be using them already if they hadn't had a machinery break down in their factory which halted production and left my hydro shop out of stock! But next time. :blsmoke:

thanks man...much appreciated. I can't remember the watering schedule to begin with to be honest. Probably every 2-3 days I would say in veg. But it's not an exact science, all plants, evnironments and grows will be different. I check pot weight to determine when to water, if it feels light, water it. The feeding schedule I have been following is on page one. I'm at 1.7 EC now, so pushing it up a little bit.

welcome on board anyway mate! :joint:

cool man......I like experiments! hehehehe :mrgreen:

The guys at progrow are great. Very helpful support over the phone when needed and great for returns or ballast failures, as I found out last year!

Remeber natmoon's air pot? He used a pond stlye net pot and put a sponge in the bottom with an air pump line running through it. I have been inspired ever since then, and the engineering/desgin of these air pots just looks awesome. As with coco, I don't think I will ever look back! LOL

truly man this is one of those inventions that is changing the way things are done. im a bit sketchy on the thing in the bottom the holes look a bit big i reckon the coco will fall through. i had the same problem with my big ass 11L pots they have 2" oblong drain hole i just put a kitchen towel in the bottom n poured the coco in i reckon same will apply.

man natmoon was pioneering. remember that freak cross he did had the weirdest leaf n calyx structure ive ever seen. guy knew his onions
