Bad FloraFlex coco update. Well damn it it has been 10 days since i transplanted everything from the bad coco. I am not sure if the GP4's are going to make it. The Mac's are climbing out of it but the GP4's have not moved. All 8 of these plants should be touching the ceiling after almost 30 days in the one gallon pots. Everything got trimmed up pretty good. The diesels in the back seem to be doing okay. Folks i need some opinions here. These 8 plants are my next flower round. What i am wondering is will these plants give me trouble in flowering because of these early issues. I have 6 weeks tied up in them and just wondering if i should scrap the whole bunch. First shot is a group shot followed by GP4 then the Mac1. I am PO'ed with FloraFlex over this :mad: . bad coco 001.JPG bad coco 002.JPG bad coco 004.JPG

Yes when i did the root drench and transplant i had quite a good bit of h2o2 in the water. I used Mycrohaze and azos(bacteria) after the root drench. Have also been treated with Recharge twice since transplant. I could not get 100% of the bad coco away from the roots when transplanting maybe 80-90% of it though. I noticed on one of the Diesel plants a couple of roots shot out a inch or better above the coco line. Kind of looked like they tried to jump over the bad coco and into the good stuff. Also before the transplant i gave the plants 2 treatments of h2o2 and water.

I can't help you with the Coco problem never grown in it. but I have flowered some clones out there were not hundred percent healthy in soil the only thing I noticed was lower yields n "picky eaters" harder to keep them happy.

I thought so just wanted to confirm. I would be looking to something to buddy plant health while you're trying to get them going. B vits, lost cost plant therapy, whichever acid is in MC that boosts plant, can't think of it atm lol.

Imho, as long as you get the plants to a healthy state before you flip to flowering I'd say that no you will not run into any issues. I've done the exact thing you did, transplanting out of bad soil. That one may just be taking some extra time to get past things and recover. Can you or have you taken clones off of them?

The diesel strains are looking great. The mac's are coming along nicely. I think i will keep the Mac's in the 1 gallon pots and make them a single cola plant. The GP4's are just peturfied still green but have not shown any growth at all. Will probably scrap them soon. Unfortunately my GP4 mom is not in good shape either as she dealt with the bad coco and think she could survive but just like the other ones just not moving at all. First shot is the White diesels #1&3 . The second shot is the mac survivers in the center and the GP4 casualties to the right. Kind of hard to believe looking at these shots represents 6 weeks of veg :mad:

I know i just get frustrated when my flower room sets empty. Certainly nothing easy about a continuous running flower room. Should be moving them to flower soon maybe this weekend. With the addition of the new tent will make things easier. I just completed my longest hang yet ( 10 days ) with the new tent. Had to add a small humidifier in the tent to try and maintain as close as possible to 60/60. :)
