First grow in soil and coco

Maybe Im trying to much for the first time but wasn’t sure what I wanted to grow in so decided to try both soil and coco.
I have 3 strains going also. Skywalker OG, Bruce Banner, and Black Widow it’s the Hero mix pack from ILGM and they are photo periods.
I just found this forum today so thought I’d give it a shot posting and hopefully learn from others how to do this.
Im 17 days since seeds were planted. I’ve only watered the soil and have added light coco canna nutes to the coco plants. I have everything written down can get specific if u want. After looking at some of the other posts are these small or do they look good for the age?


I have them under a Mars hydro ts1000. They are 24 inches under light.
I have 1 of each strain in coco and 1 of each in soil. The black widow in coco didn’t make it though.
Will water tonight and will update then. Watering has been hard for me just knowing when and how much.
Thanks in advance for the help

I’m super exited about this growing process. I’ve researched this more than I’ve researched anything ever. I’m taking this more serious than my job. Something really intoxicating about it.

I love the fact you said I take it more serious than my job :joy::joy::joy: hilarious! It’s intoxicating and so fun to watch your hard work pay off.

One thing I always advise on is going organic. The taste and smell is by far superb to anything synthetically derived. Some say it’s harder but I’d argue the exact opposite. They looks great - on watering remember you want them to dry out before watering again. Stick your finger in the medium about a inch (half inch with small plants like you have) and see if it sticks to your finger at all. If so wait - if not water.

If you want to know anymore on organic just let me know I’ll be happy to share (in addition to some great threads on here already). Good luck on the grow m8 :+1:

Time to pot up, the coco is going to crush the soil mark my words lol.
They look pretty good for your first grow considering the agem

@Nicky moving to 1 gallon pots tonight. Using happy frog soil should I use nutes ?

Are they autos or photos?
If photos go right ahead sounds like a good plan then pot them up to bigger pots later.

They are photos.

Yup fly away at it.
What’s your final pot size?
Are these the soil or coco ones?

I have 3 in happy frog soil and 2 in coco
I want to put them in 1 gallon pots tonight then get them in their final home of 5 gallon pots. I talked to a guy at local store and he recommended not going all the way to 5 gallon from solo cup so was going to do 1 gallon then 5. So u think it should be fine for nutes in the happy frog today?

Autos go in final pots. Photos you can pot up slowly and it works better that way.

@Nicky liking this forum on this site. So many helpful people. Been looking around for a bit to get some guidance. So much info on google it’s hard to know what’s right so talking to people who have done this really helps.
So thank u everyone for your help.
