Cherry Pie - ILGM Photoperiod - Second Grow!

[420Bandit]

I too had a problem with my cocopod bring too wet. Fortunately I didn’t get mold. I just moved it as high in the tray as possible and eventually it got better.

Like you, I’m new. This is my first grow; one in a grobo, one in a pot outside, and I just took the third out of the grobo start and plan to put it in my tent (it’s outside in a pot at the moment).

I look at this round as a learning grow, so, I don’t expect the buds to be a that great. For my next grow, I plan to do a better job selecting seeds that are shorter. I also plan to stay away from autoflower seeds so I can have a bit more control.

I too will likely expand to more grobos in the future. I like the minimal maintenance aspect.

Good luck on your grow! Do you know what caused the mold on the pod?

[PhilLeshPhan]

Okay so she gave me a scare. Stopped growing for a few days and I figured she would die. Then I began to notice she was damping off. I’m 2 for 2 damping off in the Grobo! To my surprise she started growing again and seems to be doing better.

I’ve extended early veg and am keeping an eye on her.

@Aang my personal opinion is the issue I have keeping the reservoir temperature below 70, as well as the cocoa pod size. It seems to be common that the Grobo coco pods sit a little too low, soaking them instead of keeping them damp. My last grow I had to raise the pod mid-grow, and this grow I did the same even after intentionally keeping the pod higher this time around. I think my next grow I might cut an inch or so off before planting. I’ve also been looking into purchasing a water chiller to keep the water temps down.

Another reason is just simply because conditions for growing are also good conditions for mold. I’ve read that fungi growth on the pod is common and not much to worry about.

Good catch on the damping off! It looks like she’ll bounce back. I would give her a week to recover

What is the white box on the bottom left side of your Grobo looks like you cut your cover

[PhilLeshPhan]

That’s just another hygrometer/thermometer. The sensor and holder, it’s detached from the holder in the picture. The display is outside of the unit so I can read the temp/humidity from outside the Grobo. I just have like 4 of these things so I have two for shits and giggles. - I didn’t cut into anything. I have some strips of black vinyl around the lid just to prevent any light from getting to the roots. The black box is a fan, I have the cord running down from the side of them lid out to the bottom of the Grobo and plugged into the same outlet the Grobo is plugged into.

Currently in the first few days of transition. Gave her another hair cut yesterday. She does like to lean foward, I believe it’s from cutting a bit too much off the cocoa pod. That’s why the little Vivosun sensor is down by the pod. I’ll get some hooks to hold her up a little more conventionally in the upcoming days.

Welcome to the all growers community we are all here for you with open arms, do you have a grow going, or are you planning to start one soon?

Harvested 6 days ago and jarred up tonight. Dry weight: 39g. It ain’t much but I’ll take it! I’m definitely going to do some more lollipoppung next time around because I ended up with lots of popcorn! Smells and looks dank, can’t wait to try it!
