should I flip to flower or wait a bit

Ya they love to chew on them when their young after the first true set Spreads out they just lay under them

And ya mine love to piss in my coco it happened for almost 2 months I hade a giant bag off opened coco and my who’s basement stunk like cat piss I was makeing pots for next run and seen the lil tootsie rolls the furry fuckers left in their their lucky rheir so damn cute

Your grow looks good man. Wait till morning till someone else chimes in.

I’d try to raise temps to get them to drink/transpire more and raise EC. That’s just me. And I could be wrong for your situation, but upping the heat won’t hurt.

We all learn. I was always burning my plants last 4 weeks or so of flower. Was running too hot. Difference between 600 and 450-500 ppm.

Mine was coming out 750-800. Drop to 500 and it comes out about 600. I do a lite flush with 60% strength once a week.

I only check run off because I use it for my vege room, and I find it comes out around 6-6.4. Lil ph down and onto the tomatoes and clones it goes.

I was always under the impression run off ph was generally non relevant.

I’m using megacrop. How about yourself?

I’m useing sensi grow a and b coco formula and cal mag plus with 3ppm ro water as base ppm to 250 with cal mag then 375 a and b I ran into this last time to the point I would flush to run off ppm 20s feed a few days then my runoff ph would drop to low 4s and my ppm runoff was always always way over than in flux like I was throwing 300ppm in at week 6 flower just to kee her alive I had no clue what to do

Only thing I could think of was my roots where rotting or not breathing I had them in a very deep plasti CB pot

Coco holds oxygen very well. As long as it’s not a little plant in a large pot it’s almost impossible to overwater coco. And in coco you want to almost root bound your plants.

I’m leaning towards upping that temperature to at least 78 to get those girls drinking and keep your nutes consistent.

150 ppm calmag (0.3 EC)
Top up to total 500-600 ppm. (1-1.2 EC) nutes.
Feed to run through every day.
Ph 5.8

Ideally those girls should be drinking and transpiring soo much, pots filled out with roots and hungry so you can feed multiple times a day


If your EC climbs in run off drop nutes. Runoff ec drops add a little nutes. Don’t worry about ph.

If you missed a day watering would your pots get real light and the coco get that brown dry colour on top? I’m wondering home much they’re drinking.

No I’ve never gone 2 days without watering so I don’t know I know when I feed 8 cups I get like 3 cups runoff

I’ll try bumpin the heat up in their it’s a very difficult becuase the tent in small 2.5x2.5x50

I’ll bump up my ppm tommarow morning to 400ppm and I’ll see what my runoff is I’ll let you know how it turns out also on a side note my auto flower babies have freakin GB microscopic leafes is that normal??

If the room the tent is in is small, you could try heating the room instead of the tent.

I’m in 3 gal of coco I should be alright threw veg and 8 weeks flower right?

I veg for eight weeks and flower for 10+ in three gallon pots. I check the root ball of every plant after harvest, just to monitor health. I've never come close to the point where I felt I needed to up size my pots. (400W MH for veg, 1000W HPS for flower). I'm in peat though, but that shouldn't make much different I wouldn't think.

It’s in an unfinished basement on a bare concrete slab so it’s always low 60s down their this time of year in the summer I can leave all the windows open and heat that bitch up

Peat is about the same as coco as far as density goes so I’d assume your correct.....if also heard from a lot of die hard coco growers that 3 gal is the butter zone and they veg 10 flower 10 some o Them.....one thing I forgot to mention was I make 5gal of feed at a time and it sits out for 3 days at a time I cover it and keep it out of the light but it starts to smel like skunky pond water after the first 24hrs could this be messing up my root zone?

Ok guys hear she is at day 47 temp 69 rh 45%nppm in 400...after one gal feed 315ppm out threw in another gal of feed 340ppm out and 5.4 runoff ph

What kinda light yah working with ?

Haha, just noticed the cat taking a sip from your run off saucer! I bet kitty likes the chewing on the leafs. My cats did.

One also liked to piss in one of the pots I was growing in promix with. Damn, I tried to flush that to no avail. Total cat piss bud.

i actually have catpiss strain from its native state...sativa that stretches to 10-12 foot by end of summer. Doesnt require real pee from a cat..ha ha.
