Last week was filled with some hi's and low's. A hi was seeing the dr to get my prescription renewed, and I got my plant count increased from 6 to 12. Now to see if the wife will let me set up the led panel in the shower upstairs.
Here's a quick rundown on the 5 in 12/12. First off all signs of the cal def are gone.

So that just leaves one girl for this run. I've never had this low of percentage of female before.
I was following one of those theory's that lower temps in veg create more females. Well these were vegged in the upper 60's (20C). I took clones from these plants before the flip, and I tried an experiment to see if clones would root at the lower temp also. I can now say that without a doubt low temp cloning is not the best route. Out of 10 cuttings only 4 really set roots, 2 more would have pulled through, and 4 never threw out a root. The one positive here is that the 2 that rooted best are from the only female.
As far as the use of coco, I'm impressed with how well the roots exploded, I didn't expect to see as much root structure when I broke the buckets down, being they were cut down 11 days after transplant. (The pictures above are several days old) At least I still have one coco bucket to get a full run out of it. Now that it has the whole space to itself I have to figure out how I want to train her. She already has 8 main stalks and a host of side branches, some of which are already over 2' long. I've got a stretcher ring shoved down the center right down to spread her out, I may take another larger diameter hoop(s) to keep spreading and growing horz, or I might just pull out the screen.
