Hey guys, thought i'd share my Coco growing techniques and how good it can come out compared to traditional hydroponics growing. 4x4 Tent, automatic watering system/ coco drain to waste Seeds: (2) Purple Haze Medium: Canna Coco bricks in 3 gallon smart pots Nutrients: Canna Coco line Lights: (2) 200w 3500k Cree CXB3590's and (1) 3000k 125w Quantum Board Seeds are germinated and planted, pictures of day 1 to come shortly! I plan to veg for 45 days.

I’m in for the show, I’d like to know more about the automated watering and waist system for surely. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Using a 200gph pump on a timer pulling from a 5 gal res. 1/2 inch tubing with custom drip rings.. the waste just flows onto the tray and drips into the 5 gal bucket on the far right. I’ll get some more pics of the full setup as the journal continues. BUDDYLED - The Best Quantum Boards and COB LED Grow Lights

That's a cool setup, I'm looking forward to seeing how you do. It just so happens I'm considering trying something similar myself. I seem to have most of the equipment to do it although Ive no experience with hydro. Could you advise me on what pumps to use? Ive got these two that I was going to try, do you think there suitable??? Sent from my SM-G950F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
How many gph do those pumps put out? They seem a bit too big unless you are running a setup for like 12 + plants.. i use a $25 200gph pump and its perfect for 2-4 sites. BUDDYLED - The Best Quantum Boards and COB LED Grow Lights
Ive looked up the specs on the pumps 7M3 /hr(115L/min). Atm I'm only growing 6 auto Northern lights in a 4 x 8 tent using hps lights (would also like advice on LCD another time) sorry for hijacking your thread and thank you for the help Sent from my SM-G950F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Day 7: Turned light intensity on the cobs up a bit, growth rates should pick up in the next few days. BUDDYLED - The Best Quantum Boards and COB LED Grow Lights
