COCO without multi fertigation will basically perform the same as soil

COCO is less technical than RW as well as gives you a buffer when something goes wrong. Failed pump, timer, etc.

My mentor said a couple things that remain true 10+ years later!

COCO DTW is baby shit easy!

If it doesn’t look right it probably isn’t!

In COCO when in doubt flush it out with correct pH 50% strength nutrients with a lil extra CALMAG until the runoff pH and EC is within parameters.

If you have to flush COCO after FLIP you fucked up. PH is typically the cause in COCO.

I have ran up to 2.8 EC in COCO but in my opinion anything over 1.5 EC is a waste when feeding them multiple times per day??

Peace

yea but it performs great once learned how to use

Depends if you're crop steering and e.c stacking the media to mess with osmotic pressure and stress the plants, making the buds swell up.

And depends on the output/run off e.c. if it's higher than 0.3 or so rest is wasted

It takes longer to develop a root system in bigger pots that are ready for HFF, high frequency fertigation.

you are using fertigation, you're just not using calculated amounts and at specific times, ergo, fertigation methods, substrate management, % volume of substrate, for vegetative and generative growth, this goes into crop steering.

And, you balance everything to scale, you're scale, you're growth space.

If I'm growing in a 5 by tent with 6ft ceiling why would I use a 2 or 3 or 5 gallon pot, I can't even grow a plant that a big, passed the tent ceiling, and I don't want to veg to that long either, of course u can Start in a small pot to get a nice root system going before uppotting ans keeping doing that but that's also time and possibly stressful for plants as well.

In a tent with 6 ft ceiling, all is needed is a half gallon to 1 gallon, if going coco+salts and doing substrate management and fertigating based on volume and plants needs.

I did half gallon coco in 1 gal pandafil bags and they grew 4-5 on last run

So the smaller pot concentrates the roots to accept the feed events vs a larger pot where the roots will spread out?

A smaller pot will/can build a dense root system faster, once the roots circle the bottom, they'll circle back up and envelop the media.

Takes longer with more media, especially if not meticulous on fertigation methods

So in fertigation you would suggest using a smaller pot to fill it faster with roots?

If wanting to do HFF


And not waste any time
