Late casing tek revised.

kocos · 02-27-08, 04:15

So here is another go at the late casing tek, i came to a conclusion last time that inorder for this to work well it would be better to work with a clone. So that is exactly what ive done, ive taken the best looking fruit from a cluster (eq) and cloned it. Ive spawned to horse doodoo and coir/verm about 5 days ago and the sub has just exploded. Ill be waiting for pins to form then apply a light casing layer. Here are a few shots of the agressive rhizo growth in the tub.

I am a lil confused since coir is a substrate it can't also be a casing right? You can basically do your substrate and a layer of rez effect substrate but I would think it would snap back to colonizing instead of pinning? Any thoughts?

I tried Fahtster late casing tek, stroph told me about it and I had a lot of knots and 3 pins and as soon as they turned color I cased in straight verm and 3-4 days later I have a few clumps of pins and single pins poking through all over the place.

What is you guys opinion for best casing? Peat /Verm? and at what mix?

I just had my 1st Rez effect grow and I cased with straight verm with the late casing just a lil earlier and go 8g dry from a sandwich sized container.

Coco coir can be used for casing and as a substrate. It's quite nutritious, so there's better choices when it comes to casing.

Both are good. Peat moss should be PH balanced with hydrated lime first. Vermiculite is simple and always effective. The two combined work well.

Thanks dude, iam afraid i may have missed the opertunity to late case, iam just so damn busy packing and moving i cant keep an eye on everything. In anycase here are a few pics showing current situation, i strongly thinking if i should case or just let it fruit as is. What would you guys recomend?

twoguysupnorth · 03-04-08, 17:06

i am not sure what i would recomend(only did it once) but when i late cased there were several pins farther along like yours and it worked out well. i hear conflicting reports on how nutritious coir is so i dont really know what to tell you there. IMO coir/verm worked great as a casing layer. it is only starting to get colonized now after the first flush. dont pack it down, just sprinkle lightly as i read someone else doing here. faht probably. good luck.

kocos · 03-05-08, 03:29

Thanks man, the pins have since matured quite a lot so unfortunatly this wont be cased imo. I have more to work with though so i should be trying this again. Ill have pics of mature flush probably.

Peace

kocos · 03-07-08, 03:37

Well iam sorry, but i never got around to casing this tub, just too much going on right now. And please try not to notice the slight bacterial blotching on the caps, neglect... Anyhow iam pleased with the flush, thereis a whopper in there and a freak a real freak, two headed little monster

I posted that one in the frekshow topic too. Enjoy.
