Grow Mediums Multi-Strain 64oz Coco Grow

[Fantasy Island]

Hello and welcome to my grow.

For this grow I will be starting off with a cleaned, sterilized and freshly painted grow box. I painted the shelf with two-part marine epoxy. I had some left over from My plywood Reef tank Otherwise that would have been to expensive but any way It wont rot. And hopefully I am free of those damn Spider mites that have been haunting me for my last 3 grows. I have sprayed my entire room that the grow box is in. And I Have been spraying All of my house plants. ( Those Mother Fu@$*ng Ba$tards)

I will also be growing in 64oz Diy airpots. Why? Because I want variety. When I grew in 1 gallon pots they turned into monsters that would barely fit two in my box as great as that was I get tired of smoking the same for 3 months at a time. I then grew in a 32oz solo cup challenge that still made some nice size ladies ( got almost 4oz off of 2 ladies.) So I am going to do the difference 64oz.

All of my seeds are from my Bom wins and I am doing one of each

1 Fast buds. Crystal meth
1 Sweet seeds. Red poison
1 Sweet seeds. Green poison
1 Terrestrial. Terrestrial Cheese (these are not Feminized so I am taking a chance with growing just one. If she turns out to be a he I will just start over
1 Dutch Passion Think Different
1 Dutch Passion Blackberry

And my new beauty that I won in the Dec Bom Compitition a Mars Pro Epistar 160 Thanks Again @MarshydroTina

Full Advanced Nutrients Coco Line. ( I will add my schedule soon)

Coco pre charged with Calmag and Voodoo juice
Automatic drip system this time it will be to waste instead of reusing. But plan to change it back to recirculating.

Temps good
Humidity good

So Lets get started.....Whoops I already did.

I germed them in a shot glass of water for 24 hours( some were cracked some was not) then directly into the coco 1 knuckle deep.

The first one to break the surface was the ET Cheese However by the time she stood up all other where right there with her so I am considering February 20th their Birthday.

So far I have been giving them a light feeding about every 2-3 days with 1/4 strength Grow A&B, full strength calmag and voodoo juice.

This Saturday will be their 2 week birthday and I will be soaking their pots and setting up the drip to drip 2X a day Bumping that up to 6X per day within the net two weeks.

That's all for now. Hope you enjoy the show

FI buddy, that's a stellar line-up there! You will love the GP my friend, I've grown 4 of the F1FV's now, and consistently have powerhouse aromatics-- sweet lime and fruits, and buds are resin-dense gummy nugg's! .
...I like the new rig too, great idea all around,...I hope the size adjustment works! ...and double ditto on final eradication of the F'ing plant Borg mites ....off to a fine start mate, I'll be going to school on this as well for coco!

No problem dude More than happy to help. Its all pretty simple I will be putting it together this weekend and Post the pics.

Basically I will have a 5 gallon bucket with a pump in it. The pump will be hooked up to a timer that will be programmed to come on for 1-3 mins ( this will depend on what I use for the dripping tip) I want 10-20% runoff each time. Then I will hook it to the 1/4" tubing and that's it. underneath the shelf I have 4 cement mixing tubs (that is how many fit under the shelf) basically they are just plastic boxes with short walls.

To remove the waste instead of having to remove the tubs to dump everyday. I bought a homer Bucket wet vac from home depot its only $22 for the vac and 2 dollars for the bucket. to make it easier I got some Pvc and stepped down the hose to 1/2" and then melted the end to a 90 degree. So I will just have to flip on the vacuum and seconds later have no more waste. I may dump the waste back into the res bucket to be cycled through again. At this point I am not sure yet. I kinda want to see the results of drip to waste instead of recirculating. But I am also a tight wad and I do not like the word WASTE. Especially since I am using the AN line up and everybody knows how expensive they are.

At the beginning I will be using just the one Bucket and one pump but I have 4 more pumps if they start growing at different schedules also if they want less or more feeds per day. Some are thirstier than others.

So keep an eye out and I will post the pics Sunday or monday
