First coco grow I have a small closet 2' × 3' growing some Mephisto autos I was going to put them in 3 gallon fabric . That was when I was hand watering now I'm wondering since I'm going automated can I get away with 2 gallon? I want to feed at least twice a day? Any thoughts/advice is appreciated
do it!!! i'm doing 3 autos in coco in 2 gal containers. feeding 3x a day couple of pics showing the monsters i've created
Man those are awesome. They are some of the fullest autos I've ever seen. Have you been 3× day since the beginning?
no, they are about 80 days old right now. the first 2/3 weeks, once a day, twice a day when they got a bit bigger then 3x once they started to stretch and flower. the big one is over 4' tall. i had to supercrop it twice. just packed with buds and tops everywhere!
Suckerpunch is the strain. Got them from True North Seedbank. Not sure bout super or xl tho. Just reg autos as far as i know Sent from my SM-A530W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Yours look like their description, they look great. I'm just getting mine on track it's been an adjustment moving over to this style.
Here's my whole setup. No drippers needed. I broke the code! With the small pots they got rootbound real quick and it was easy from there. I have the system set to run fast enough that the top of the pot fills with solution quicker than it drains through. this way there are no dry spots in the coco, it gets well soaked. a flood and drain heres the setup list 2, 60 litre heavy duty storage bins (home depot 10$ ea) 2'x4' flood table, bout 3" deep i think 2, aquarium water pumps, 396 gph & 260 gph 1/2 inch rain bird tubing, elbows (amazon) 4 outlet Beer Gas manifold, (amazon, can find link if you want) 1/4" ID, 3/8" OD food grade vinyl tubing (canadian tire) 25 watt aquarium heater Digital timer (need to be able to set for 1 min intervals) Utility/sump pump 50' garden hose I have it on the following times 6am, 1min 6:10am 1min 2pm, 1min 10pm, 1 min the extra 6am feeding guarantees that the pot gets soaked thru run the drain pump once a week, start over hope that helps! cheers
Forgot to mention, what you don't see is the aquarium heater in the feed tank (set at 68f) as well as another pump tethered to a weight that is running 24/7 to keep it well mixed. cheers
Thanks for taking the time for that like to see what others are doing. I really like the pump in the bottom and the manifold . I am going to use a couple of airstones but I like the idea of the pump also
No wories! Glad to help. I was going to add an air stone to this rez but in my other one it kept causing my ph to swing up between that and my AN nutes trying to keep it at 6.0. its been kinda a battle and it actually caused me issues
Really the air causing ph issues? I'm new to this I was loosely going off of the plans on the cocoforcannabis site. I've already had my share of issues and I just noticed one of my autos showing pistols at just over 2 weeks old I don't think I want that
ya the aeration causes the ph to go up. it will stabilize after 24hrs but then once my nutes are in, the ph starts swinging i'd count on at least 100 days for them cheers
