That’s nice. I see some really nice coco grows on here. I get a steady 3 to 3 1/2 lbs from a 5x10 area. But again I don’t use coco I imagine I’d get more if I did though I see there plants always look bigger and fuller. Nobody likes a bragger.

Yeah some say its pointless cus of no boiactivity but some bro man science say it helps with the flavor and swear by it. I've had gd grows and just keep it in the line up.

Coming from the guy that thinks it’s ok to “water” coco once a week.

I said he feeds coco once a week not water. His sits in a 5lb planter that self waters. I feed every other day and water daily. Get it strait. I will post pics let me find em.

Harvested this plant 3 times. 6 oz first time 2weeks later cut-off 1oz then the final trim i got 23grams.

Hey if you're happy we're happy. That's all that matters anyways, being able to get them from seed to harvest

Hi guys.
Thank you for all your comments and supports
I learn new things everyday

Here is the photos of my 2 grows on Day 25

Here is the Blue Amnesia



She has been transplanted from solo cup to a 1 gallon pot 2 days ago (Day 23) because she looked yellow and the root had developed enough root ball.

I moisted the pot and solo cup with Superthrive and left them in my grow tent under the light for approximately 2 hour before transplant to adapt to the grow room condition.

I sprinkled mycorrhizae powder both on the pot soil as well as on the root directly during transplanting and watered her with Superthrive water after transplant.

She is still yellow but looks a little greener today and I can tell she grows a little bit.

When do you think I should feed her?


Here is the OG Kush:




She looks very healthy, she is due to tranplant now since she has developed enough root ball now.
Problem is, the 1st true leaves on the bottom turns yellow and has some brown spot.

I watered it this morning with Flora Gro (5 drops) & Cal Mag (4 drops) in 1 liter water and see how she goes.

Do you think she is hungry (nitrogen or otherdeficiencies) or it is because of the root bound?
Should I transplant now or do I have to wait until she turns back green on her leaves?
Should I transplant to a smaller 1 liter pot, or should I go ahead into final 2 gallon fabric pot?

Any comments are appreciated

Bud dont water pot like that. It's still a small plant now it's in a big pot. Itll still be over watered unless you just recently misted the surface and didn't fill that pot with water. Generally you want to transplant while dirt is still moist not wet. Because you have to water at transplant area around plants base to get out air pockets. Only at transplant hole around plants base. Not the entire pot for small plants going into big pots. When up potting treat it like a new plant letting it grow into pot before watering entire pot. Need dry dirt for root development. When soils dry roots stretch out looking for water. If the whole pots wet with no roots to drink itll stay wet and roots wont grow

Easier than transplanting, then watering is to get the soil you're planting into to the same moisture content as the root-ball you're planting into it.

I generally water mine a day (or two) before transplant so the root ball already has a good amount of soil.

I never transplant 'dry'. I then take my medium (Pro-Mix in my case) and scoop about 3g into a 5g bucket, mix in whatever amendments you're using (Mycos, lime or whatever you're putting in) and then pour in water that's treated the same way as what I've been feeding the seedling (Same pH & nutrient content). Mix with a trowel and your hand/arm until it's fully combined. Keep adding water until the soil is evenly moist and will clump but isn't mud, should be roughly the same as the soil in the rootball you're transplanting. . I then fill the pots/bags with this mixture (mixing up more medium/water/amendments as needed), and I use an empty pot in the center (same kind my seedlings are in). so that once the pot is full, I can remove the smaller pot and have a void to drop the rootball into. Once that's in place I further fill the pot/bag with more soil to completely fill the container.

From there I don't 'water in' the plant. There's already moisture similar to what the roots have and they spread naturally from there. Usually it's a couple days before things dry down enough to want to water again.

I know this an old post but some of the best advice I've heard in awhile. I learned something and confirmed something. Love the pothole idea, thanks LeastExpectedGrower.
