Well its that time again. Going to try out coco coir. Coco bricks I hydrated with phed tap water of 6 with Epsom salts. Flushed with phed 6 tap water. Planted seeds directly in the coco. Took 3 days and they are all coming up. 3 gallon air pruning pots.Will keep this grow updated if any want to follow along.

Quick update, 1 looks a little funky but the rest are growing decent. All others looking healthy enough.

Looking good so far. I would recommend that in the future you begin seeds in smaller containers such as solo cups. The reason I say this is that it is easier to maintain a proper level of moisture in the smaller containers. starting seeds in larger containers can often give you grief with maintaining the moisture without overwatering. I also recommend that you flush them when you get ready to go into flower as coco coir holds onto a lot of elements and can get toxic buildup when growing in non-hydro setups. sending you green grow mojo :)
 
Quick update. Feeding 1/4th nuts strength, Epsom salts, 1 and half quarts each pot to runoff each day. All feedings phed to 6. LED lighting panel I ordered will be here next week.

Quick update. Feeding 1/4 teaspoon synthetic nutrients npk about 3-1-2, 1/4 teaspoon Epsom salts per gallon. Tap water pHed to 6. Feeding daily to runoff.
Probably soon will increase nutrients strength to 1 half strength so npk would be 6-2-4 and will continue at that rate until pistils start. Then will feed bloom nutrients. showing.

Green mojo for your grow and your babies. Looks like one has nute burn already, might want to back of that one at least.

That happened before I started adding any nutrients. I assume it happened because it was growing faster then others. Once I started nutrients it stopped. Unsure but healthy now.

I came up with a dyi idea so my pots don't have to sit in drain trays all day. I elevated a gate above the pots, and put the drain trays under. The great part is I don't have to keep removing the pots from the trays over and over to remove the runoff. Plus allows more water to drip off the pots.

Quick update. There are starting to take off finally. 2 days ago I switched from 24/0 to 20/4 lighting because I did various reading on the subject and 24/0 will effect yeild in autoflowers. Also, I added superthive to my feedings. Still feeding at npk 3-1-2, Epsom salts 1/4 teaspoon, phed tap water at 6 to runoff daily.
Will be ordering some different pH down. Currently I am using earth juice, but obviously citric acid in coco isn't pH stable. My tap water is at around 7, when I feed its at 6. My runoff is at 7. So I will try a different pH solution.
Only problems are 2 plants doing a taco on oldest leafs. My assumption is my humidity was to high, since my humidity has been around 50 percent and has seemed to correct itself. Other then that the plants are taking off.

Day 35 update and debunk. Plants have been Lsted further today.
Well the cats out the bag to all the miracle-gro haters. No high price coco specific nutrients used on this grow. Also no calmag added. Just tap water as calcium and epsom salts as magnesium . No deficiencys. How is this possible? You be the judge of these plants health.

40 day update. The plants are seriously on the move haha. Filling right out, all have their flowers starting except the run. I am switching to bloom nutes this week. I ordered 3 marshydro 300w to replace this bestva 1000w as it probably is not even breaking 400w equivalent. The flowering nutrient I ordered is Dyna-Gro Bloom 3-12-6.
