Excellent share Mr Savage. It both reinforced my observations and informed my future practice.Revisited this thread today and got to googling about coir irrigation scheduling. This article here is pretty informative:
http://www.myriadint.com.au/Mexico Presentation.pdf
It's put out by a coco manufacturer but contains some thought-provoking charts and techniques.
3 gallon grow bag- vegan soil... I did make some teas for her and on occasion I mixed rocks dust and water and then feed her this for the added phosp
All in all it was a 16z plant with little trim left over thanks to the big haze dom colas...
I believe I will therefore put the short cycle on another timer so the plants have time to wake up / rest.
DAMN. Did not know they worked like that.Got a watch with that, if it's one of the short cycle timers where you need to manipulate the knobs a certain way within the first 5 sec of plugging it in in order to set it to day/night/both it'll reset itself when the timer it's plugged into clicks on/off.
I'm trying to figure it out, would be a hell of a lot easier with a solenoid a legit irrigation timer, and injectors but I'm not quite there yet.
I did the 8 feedings but not the 2hr cutoffs on either side. I also saw significant improvement.Theoretically, yea. They have these newer short cycle timers out now where there's just a switch on em to tell the photocell what to do. Bet that would work perfect.
Last round I played around with the late start/ early stop (2hrs. Each) but only irrigated 3x/day and I crushed my previous best yield significantly.
So if this paper and all the anecdotal evidence out there is to be believed (or tested) then if I keep the same total amounts of irrigation volume but spread it out between, say 8 irrigations to start than I should be able to achieve even better results.
I like the point made that the 20% runoff benchmark isn't necessarily per irrigation cycle but a total runoff for the day.
Found this chart to log all of it:http://www.californiasubstrates.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/CaliforniaSubstrates-FeedData.pdf
bigger roots = bigger fruits and harvest i always used 1 gallon per 1 foot of growth
And with that said 1 gallon medium to = 1 oz of product on other note its the internet where everything 1/2 gallon and up is capable of a pound harvest lol
Its like people thinking everyone is just new to growing 1 pound is a hell of alot of buds 4 pounds wet to be exact that is a lot for only 3 gallon truthfully speaking one truly needs 10 - 20 gallon pot to produce a pound plant in most cases on most strains now one might pull something from a garbage strain like Critical mass but then again just have to look on the net on average yields per pot size Its a no brainer
Lets be real folk right Cause if that was the case us out door growers have been doing it wrong all along
Indoor coco forum, specifically.Your logic is perfect for soil-- this thread is regarding coco, which you can push way harder than soil. @HiPlainDrftr has some pics of a 5 gal coco plant that pulled over a pound...so instead of "an ounce per gallon" I'd say "100 grams per gallon" would be a more accurate goal in coco. If you only pull a zip per gallon of coco you're doing it wrong.
Agreed and another legit share, thanks again Savage. Agreed. The chart in that first pdf showed how the runoff accumulates by the end of the day, not all at once. Important.Theoretically, yea. They have these newer short cycle timers out now where there's just a switch on em to tell the photocell what to do. Bet that would work perfect.

I'm doing a coco grow in 3 gallon and they are much bigger i would recommend 5 at the max but 3 is perfect it also cuts your wedding from 6 to 2. 6 feedings is just unnecessaryQuestion ??? what do you think you will yield with that and do you not think if they were in 3 - 5 gallon they be doing better ??? my guess is they be doing much better ??
Disagreed, respectfullyI'm doing a coco grow in 3 gallon and they are much bigger i would recommend 5 at the max but 3 is perfect it also cuts your wedding from 6 to 2. 6 feedings is just unnecessary
Side by side of different pot sizes, smaller wins in controlled experiment in my room. Same everything except pot size.
When we ran 18g Rubbermaid tubs, soil, Nectar nutrients, we would water 1x/3days.How much more input cost do you have into more frequent waterings therefore more nutrients for the smaller pot size?
