Now that both plants are considered well established I think the differences are going to become even more clear between plants grown in soil versus a blend of Coco and perlite… I was expecting the plant in Coco to do a little better but when I saw the difference in Roots I said to myself, holy s**t!!! What do you think? Both plants are getting fed the exact same nutrients.
Hey Guys!!! Wizard NPK here.. I’m a state registered and licensed medical marijuana caregiver located in Colorado who grows for a lot of patients who need a lot of marijuana! I make videos daily covering strains as well as grow techniques I deploy at my facility. If there’s any topics you want to see covered leave a comment, I love suggestions.
Attention Growers: The nutrient company I’ve been working with as a tester to develop this awesome nutrient line will be giving away free product to a limited number of testers for a full year. Testers will then receive 75% off for life!!! Visit NPK420.com for more information.
Led poisoning from the lights is what I call the red stems if you move it to a hps light it goes away too some strains get led poisoning has no affect on the plant
Red stems could be too cold in dark period
If I use my homemade nutrients and compost as well as organic soil in my garden to grow my bud would I still need to flush towards the end
ill be interested to see how they both develop and compare , cheers
My bad I noticed that you did that
Wizard NPK I wanted to know MORE ABOUT GROWING WEED OUTSIDE ALEIN OG
why would you not add soil before stepping up? roots arent gonna grow up lol
Cool
obv the soil will win if your feeding them the same lol
great experiment, real useful to see.
objectively the pot in soil is getting more nutrients/ferts due to the nutrients that came with the soil.
quote from advancednutrients dot com
"Can lock out calcium, magnesium and iron: Because of its high cation exchange rate, coco coir stores and releases nutrients as needed, but it tends to hold calcium, magnesium and iron. This means you’ll need use specific coco coir nutrients to boost Ca, Mg and Fe levels for healthy crops."
not sure if this grow is still going but would love to see how extra calcium, magnesium and iron ferts ( the the right nutes/ph to unlock said nutes) would bring up the coco coir grow.
either way would love to see the same experiment on a new grow with extra needed nutes on coco coir
would also be interesting to see soil/coco test to see levels of nutrients
keep at it 😉
You spoke straight facts about the root zone (rhizosphere) being more like a web and not having big denser roots. 💯🔥
Obviously the coco plant will do better, your nutes are feeding the roots where as the soil not doing as much, you need a organic amendment line!!!
I find the stem colouring to be from the cold where I am, even a cold wind blast can discolor them temporarily ,
The leafs are droopping you are over water ring
what a waste. they should be twice the size and not be as anemic. the solution? fabric pots. oh and dont wait as long as this? the plant in the coco shouldve been transplanted two weeks earlier than he did. and if you dont know, topping your plant would make them much fuller
Is there a specific technique to make the roots feather like this or is it dependent on strains or other variables?Thanks for the no nonsense video
all i can say is that plant will grow in soil without any nutrients,but not in coco!!!
The purpleing is good my friend shows you starch it’s on the March don’t cover it let it be, get bigger bud

Looks like a sativa structure with indica leaves
key-lay-ted
WHAT DOES THE LEAF COLOR BEING DIFFERENT INDICATE?? MAYBE DO A VID TALKING ABOUT LEAF COLOR CHANGES AND WHAT THEY COULD MEAN
Hey Wizard NPK, I’m growing in oceanforest with RO water. Did you add calmag with every watering when you did this comparison???
If you where to just water them with plain water with right oh the soil one will grow all the way but the coco one would not because soil carries calcium and magnesium etc… when the coco has no nutrients so feeding them the same is really not feeding them the same you fell me
This should have it’s own playlist because now I gotta get my shovel n start digging to find the other videos lol

Isn’t it phosphorus that the plant is lacking when the stems go purple?
Try a 70/30 ratio with your cocoa and perlite…I love using cocoa it’s really simple!!!❤️❤️❤️
WHAT SIZE POT DID THEY GET TRANSPLANT FROM AND WHAT SIZE DID THEY GET TRANSPLANTED TO???
This is a good comparison but what I would like to know is what kind of Coco you started with in the first place because some Coco is extremely salty and will cause lock out. I used to use ocean forest with great results and then I switched to good brand name Cocoa and had explosive results. It just depends on the Coco you’re using
to see the advantages of coco you need to feed it like hydro thats one of the things about her being so flexible. if you treat it and feed it like dirt they you will get dirt yields. if you feed smaller feeds of around 125ml 6 times a day like a hydro feed then you will also get the hydro results. Also your mistake is mixing any let alone half and half perlite. It may not seem like it but the plain coco has more then enough airspace in the roots it doesnt need any at all. Doing a side by side of coco and coco mix will show you what i mean.
Wiz I’ve been following your videos for a couple Years. I love and appreciate the information. Much respect buddy! I was curious what should I use on this grow? Coco and perlite? What all nutrients are you feeding with coco. Is airport better than the smart pots? Lmk if you get time. Much respect Wiz!!
Both shit looking plants.
Why didnt you start in the 5 gallon?
The red and purple Anthocyanins are a response to uv light.
Not feeding the coco enough, it aint soil
The red means it’s getting tons of light and it’s loving it. A lot of plants do that.
Should have used same strain and same genetics
The ocean forest looks alittle nicer to me.
Its a tan thats what the red is
Check roots they get root bound and start to turn purple
soil looks more healthy
I mix coco and a high compost soil. Use smart pots. Root balls get very dense and not root bound at all.
Have you done a comparison on breaking up the root ball and not breaking it on root bound plants?? I dont like to break up the root ball it seems to much for me. If you haven’t you could also try soaking the root ball in water to let them loosen naturally. You would pull the plant out of it’s one gallon and soak for a little bit while preparing the next size pot. I would like to see the difference but with 3 plant max for some places. Might sound silly but about how tall or maybe a number of nods are your plants when you take them from veg to flower? As well as when they finish?
I’m sorry but I’ve grown using fox farm ocean forest for over 10yrs. My hydro produces 2x the amount with zero complications and zero deficiencies. Fox farm is for beginners. Clean your drain pans fyi. No disrespect.
You’re overfeeding the soil plant dummy
Red stems is normal just a genetic trait not something that can be changed
The way you treat your plants reveals an huge lack of respect for mother nature.
Too much perlite.
man… these are some bad practices. that room looks like a mold issue just waiting to happen.
