    Ok, this is my 2nd time trying Coco. This plant is LSD Auto in a 1 liter air pot at 11 days old. Have to feed three times a day because she dries out. How long should I keep it in this 1 liter air pot before I transplant to 3 gallon air pot. When I buffered my Coco I used EC 1.3 and PH it at 6.0 so my feeding mixture was EC 5.0 PH 5.8 using calmagic and maxibloom 5-15-14 but run off has been EC 1.1 with PH at 5.8 so that's good. Now run off has dropped to EC 7.0 so it's getting close to what I'm putting in, probably a few more feedings and run off will be what I put threw it. Here's picture of little plant.

  2. all i am saying is that is a lot of work to grow 1 plant in coco a lot of mixing, measuring and watering for an ounce or 2 but good luck keep your ec in the 1.2 range and ph of 5.8 and its an auto hit her with maximum light like 24/0
     
  3. the time stamp on your pic was 4:20 was that planned lol good one

  4. 3 gallon airpot is the perfect size for an auto transplant asap
     
  5. My friend I get 8 o/z per auto most of the time. This is just a test run, if they do grow good and fast in coco I got the halo drippers for each air pot and fittings and tubing and pump with timer to feed three times a day with me doing nothing but keep my reservoir where I need it for EC and PH and will be DTW

  6. now you are talking a fully automated auto run in coco is probably the fastest easiest way to grow once you get it dialed up you will be on easy street
     
  7. get rid of the coco and go DWC, much easier or automate your system with a pump and trust that it works. coco is too much work
     
  8. coco is for helicopter parents.
     
  9. Here's two autos 35 days old double grape from Mephisto, I'm growing These two in promix and vermiculite with perlite and dolomite lime and little gypsum. They get feed every day until run off,. I do have all the equipment to do buckets with air stones and everything else I need to do if I want to, but I don't want to do water hydro yet, I did it in the 90s on a 4x8 foot table with 3 430 watt HPS lights over table, so I know how fast clones can grow out of rockwool cubes, but don't want to do it. Here's my other mixture I'm using and you can see these two girls like it for 35 days old. Screenshot_20220218-105733.png Screenshot_20220218-105753.png

  10. Right now I'm working on a cross
    No wasn't planned at all, just a regular picture.
     
  11. Well put my LSD Auto in 3 gallon air pot two days ago, so far not to bad in coco at the start of day 16, probably top her today or tomorrow and cut the bottom leave off. Screenshot_20220222-061450.png

  13. I liked growing in coco. As long as you got a few days worth of nutes bubbling in a bucket. It grows great plants for sure.
     
  14. I don't use buckets with bubbles in water, I grow DTW with run off every feeding.
     
  15. No no man I understand That!! I found it very helpful to have two 5 gallon buckets with air stones so I didn’t have to mix nutes every day.
     
  16. This is how I mix my nutrients, it's fresh every time, got to refill my jugs with RO water and then I will add my basic mixture that I use. Screenshot_20220222-082653.png
     
  17. I see what you got going on now. So the is you making bottled nutes from dry nutes correct? Then you add a certain amount of each jug to your big bucket of water?
     
  18. I store RO water in one of the buckets, and I use the other bucket to mix my nutrient up, feeding master blend 3 parts, I put 10 grams of calcium nitrate in one jug and 5 grams of Epsom salts in other jug and 10 grams of my base master blend in another jug and 5 ML of silica in another jug and my flower fuel in another jug, and mix things how I want it during grow at some point I will back off the calcium nitrate a little bit and add more Epsom salts to my mixture.

  19. Plant is 30 days old in this picture, 3 gallon air pot in coco with perlite. Feeding it maxibloom with some silica. DTW looks like it will work pretty well. Screenshot_20220309-191909.png
     
  20. Well 33 days old today and probably got at least 30 tops or more that's going to be threw net, really stretching good. Screenshot_20220311-135038.png
