I have new clones that just rooted. What is the best practice to start with, 1 gal or 3 gal? They will end up in 7 or 10 gal in flower. I’m on a drip system so watering every day. In soil you go from 1 to 3 to 7. So would like to know if it’s the same in Coco or can I start in 3 gal and save myself 3 transplants?

roll with the 3 all the way,coco has no nutes and you provide them,you also on drip so no problem with a continuse feed program,clones dont grow a tap root so the feathering roots will build in the pot anyway,tap root normally hit bottom and plant just explode,clones seem like they just arent growing and then like a light switch it on hahahah,save room with the 3 is my opinion,a 3 will give you a great root system for indoor grow,outside i wouldnt even bother with coco,ive run it and dont like it a bit,to much damn work and im a lazy bastard,to be honest i havent really seen any difrence from a soil vs coco grow,soil is slow to the taproot again hits bottom and it explodes and coco from seed takes just as long in my opinion,it will out run the soil at first because you provide the food for it,soil takes only what it wants,but by harvest time ive found maybe a week quicker growing same strains

I went back and read this thread again. Can you tell me how much water you put into your 3 gal when feeding clones? They are at the end of their 1st week. I'm feeding 1000ppms EC 1.5 ph6.0 On my dip system I tested 2:45 sec of watering and that gave me 250mls Is that enough? It looks so little. I watered 500mls last night and still no run off. Should I go 750mls per feeding. I would think I would get some run off then. When I was in soil I would water 1 full liter of water.
