Its coco coirAny reason you are not using any perlite?
Everything that I read before hand, suggested that the coco base didn’t need the support of the perlite. So I haven’t ever mixed in any. I have lately seen other news suggesting I should use.Any reason you are not using any perlite?
What is One drop?@One drop
Perlite helps with aeration along with the coco for root development but can add more watering because of aeration, As well with the under and over water feeding but. But by the looks you got your stuff down and it looks nice you got your schedule rock itEverything that I read before hand, suggested that the coco base didn’t need the support of the perlite.

Ok, thanks a lot much appreciated.I tagged a friend.i dont reckon you will b able to water frequently because of no added perlite to help it drain.would have to treat like a soil grow..
How large are those containers?
FYI, I grow in 2gal fabric pots, 4-6 week veg, 100% coco, no perlite and in peak flower I'm watering 4-6 times per day.
I don't see an irrigation setup... with that said you're better off not mixing perlite if you're in small containers and hand watering. Focus on establishing good solid root ball in those pots and make sure you water every day with a little runoff. Don't take advise to treat your coco like soil. The only time I allow a long dryback in coco in after a transplant.
I’m pretty sure the bucked are 5 gal black buckets. Definitely just hand watering. Ok, thanks for the advise. Much appreciatedHow large are those containers?

Thats what i expected as was thinking its going to retain more water instead of running out..How large are those containers?
