Hard to tell by pics whats up with the coco.

I might stop watering them for a day or so until they dryback and perk up. For me, no multifeeds until plants are well rooted. Ideally rootbound with a nice fabric root beard.

The coco has a little bit of webbing/moldy looking stuff on the top.
The pots are about 50% lighter if I wait to water until lights out. I think that's too dry so I went to watering 3 times a day. Should I go back to watering twice a day?

Day 4 of flower. Ended up going to 3 gallon pots. I found 1 gallon pots to be less forgiving given my setup and laziness. Will probably try 5 gallon pots in the future.

I think the 20 pack of cheap grow bags I bought don't drain well or provide as much air. Which I think is causing my mold issues. Bought a different assortment of grow bags to try out. Pretty much my last idea on why there is mold on the top of my coco.

Looking solid man!

May be of some help.

Dang. My bad. I missed even you posted this.

With the fabrics. I soak new bags in RO water.


What is your feed schedule now?

Hehe, no problem! I've just got back from a vacation. I'm watering roughly once a day in the 3 gallon pots. I'm seeing a little bit of mold on the top. I'm thinking of cutting some holes in my bags to help with aeration. But, I may be crazy in blaming my bags too.

The mold appears to be a nuisance to be remedied rather than a big problem.

How do you prevent mold when growing cannabis plants? Are the growing mediums used by marijuana cultivators exacerbating the chance of mold?

The overwatering this article mentions definitely seems like my problem but I don't think so. I'm watering as little as I think I can get away with.
And its so dry right now...The only thing that has changed is my grow bags so I don't know...?

Was thinking of sprinkling diatomaceous earth over the coco and will definitely do it now.

I'm currently using two 5 gallon buckets to water and mix with. It takes a bit of stirring and crushing to get the Jacks part A to dissolve. Had the idea of filling up the bucket and only dumping in the part A. Gave it a little stir and came back 12 hours later and it was completely dissolved!
Sometimes its the little things.

I use a 1/2" drill and 5 gallon paint stirring rod to mix up my Jack's. If only making one or two buckets, I use a small smoothie blender to pre mix before adding to bucket.

Decided to make a new grow journal. Come on over everyone!
