Coco grow
Hey Everyone!
This will be my attempt at growing in coco.
I’ve grown in organic (FF HF, FF OF), and imo they’ve just been subpar grows. I struggled with overwatering, gnats, and not knowing how to properly mix nutes. Nevertheless, I stuck it out and grew some pretty decent smoke
So with that being said, I’m going to try my hand with Coco, as I won't have to worry much about overwatering, and if I was to run into a toxicity issue I could easily flush and be back on track.
I read the cocoforcannabis guide so the majority of what I do will be based off of their guide.
I’ll be growing;
Grappa(Auto) - Mephisto
Afghan x Northern Lights(Auto) - SSSC (will also be in the G&S)
White Widow (Photo) - Green House Seed (My first photo)
They’ll be grown in 6 5gal. Fabric pots (Honor The Plants & Rain Science)
All inside a 4x4 tent.
With a Mars Hydro FC4800
They’ll be fed with GH FloraNova Grow & Bloom.
-Rainwater
-Dynomyco in transplant hole & mixed in coco
-Fish Shit
-SLF100
-Coco Wet
-Fulvic/Humic
I’m sure I’ll be adding other things as the grow continues.
I'll be using a cheap PPM/EC meter, and PH meter.
I’ll be using Mother Earth Coco + Perlite (I will be doing the rinsing and buffering)
I will also be adding rice hulls on top of the coco to hopefully prevent gnats
I started by dropping the seeds in some germ brew(Kelp & Fulvic) and then let it sit on a heating mat inside my tent
While they germ I prepped the coco.
First I rinsed the coco.
Added some coco in a 5gal. bucket, added tap water, mixed it around, then grabbed a strainer and started scooping the coco, rinsing with tap water and then adding to the 5gal. pots. Repeated this until all 6 pots were full.
Then I moved to the buffer,
I placed the pots in a tote and measured enough tap water to almost cover the pot, then i added 150% dose of cal-mag and let it sit for 24hrs.
I then dumped the water and refilled it again with 150% dose of cal-mag.
Today 8/7:
After another 24hrs I dumped the buffer solution and set the pots in my tent
Look at all those coco fibers!
After 2 days all the seeds have cracked, seeing that theyre all active I took them out of the cup and moved them in root cubes, sprayed the cubes with kelp/fulvic and set that on the heating mat with a humidity dome.
Hoping i’ll have a sprout in the next two-three days!
temp in the dome: 80F 90%RH

- I added extra perlite.
