Cool Greenthumb, I am going to try the coco in an ebb and flow. I have a friend who is getting incredible growth with his using FloraNova nutes, but I think he is having a Magnesium deficiency. He has slightly twisted leaves as well as curls upward on the middle edges of the leaves on middle to lower branches. He has increased his nutes from 0.7 EC to 1.4 EC. They are now 3 weeks old.
Any thoughts if that is indeed a Mg def. and if so how to correct?
Thanks man, yours are looking perfect. I will start a journal in about a week or so to show you my first try at coco.

Then, I hit Popeye's, Del Taco. 14,000 calories later, I found myself down at Subway... powering through a 12 inch veggie on whole wheat babbling to a cut-out of Jared. Still didn't give me the strength to turn that thing on. I'm a coward.

Sounds like it could be mg deficiency, or toxic salt buildup. FloraNova nutes are not tailored for coco, so he should be feeding straight ph'd water once every 6~ feedings or so to flush some of the salt buildup. You could start a thread about it in the diagnosis forum for more opinions or try to get a pic.
I'll have some more pics tomorrow or monday. Have a good weekend everybody.

What a superbowl, I haven't been this hungover in a long time.
Its about to get crowded in the veg tent, these should bush out like crazy this week. Thankfully the different strains are really starting to stand out, check out LA Confidential (2nd pic) compared to Sleestack (3rd pic) for example.

Thanks guys, here are some new pics:
 
I'm going to start thinning the herd down to 10-12 this week, starting with the LA Conf at the bottom left which developed a leaf mutation. Feeding @ 450ppm now.

Very nice sir!
I think it is remarkable how similar they all look. None of them yet look to have any semblance of a sativa father. The width and length of the leaves appear almost identical to me from the pics.
Looks like you have plenty of keepers there!

Yeah, its funny how you can see afghani traits from the father in all of them though. Its almost like they were crossed with super skunk instead of skunk #1, not that I would mind if they were.
I didn't expect to be doing daily updates but I just removed a LA Conf and Kandy Kush bringing the total down to 12:

What's with the jars of perlite? Are those in there to help raise the humidity?

You got it, I picked that up from the shroomery actually. I also started adding 2 tablespoons of neem and a shitload of dish soap to each jar, it helped solve the fungus gnat problem I've had since switching to coco. Layering 1+" of perlite on top of the coir was also a big help which someone here recommended.
More pics this weekend! I've decided to just flower the ones I cull out and see what I get, can't axe these it doesn't feel right.

Picture update! I've narrowed the breeding/cloning pool from 14 down to 8:
3x Kushberry
2x OG18
2x Sleestack
1x LA Confidential
(The Kandy Kush in the picture off to the right is now gone)
The last feeding was 525ppm a couple days ago, which might have been too conservative as they seem to be lacking N. I'm starting a ton of peppers this week so I might not be updating as often.

So what's your criteria on culling your plants?

Thanks!
If a plant matches 2 or more of the following criteria it is culled:
Loose internode distance (also too much vertical/horizontal stretch)
Uneven or stunted growth (i.e. canopy fills in then growth stalls while lower nodes catch up. I want the entire plant growing up and out simultaneously as often as possible)
Pest and mold susceptibility
General lack of vigor (We all want strong, healthy, fast growing plants right?)
I'm pleased enough with these eight that part of me wants to just open-pollinate them, regardless of female/male ratio. I could lock in an enormous amount of great DNA up front this way, then start a real breeding program with the offspring. The alternative is making 1:1 crosses, but with such a small initial gene pool I would be crossing and back-crossing for years until I felt comfortable that I had excellent whatever x skunk.
What would you do in my shoes here?
