Cost-effective solution would be kiddie pools with coco and perlite from big box stores(cheapest you could) on drippers, getting 20% runoff per irrigation, using the nutes made from salts in the tutorial in my sig.What if someone were to add 5 gallons compost or worm castings and a couple gallons dry fertilizers in there 20 gallons of 80/20 mix? I've been thinking about this because it would be awesome to be able to just feed water to the chow. Even if growth wasn't as explosive which I'm sure it wouldn't be it would be a worthwhile experiment right? I think I may try it outdoors if I can gather the materials in time for this year. Will water with a blumat maxi too.

I spend way less than $2 to make up 50 gals of 2000 ppm food. I will get the cost down to a buck for sure eventually. This is for nutes and additives BTW.
You could partially submerge the res into the ground, cooling it to whatever temp pretty much.
And you could topdress the kiddie pools with teas made with Cap's bennies, you could put some earthworm castings on that shit, with some more coco on top of that, so you could scrape it away if you wanted. You could play with guanos, etc.

I will rock outdoor kiddie pool coco/perlite.
It would be the funniest shit.
Get some 1/2" pvc, put caps on it, drill some holes, stick an airline in the end of the pvc, and shove it into different spots in the kiddie pool. Run an airpump, actively aerate the medium.
With a scrog screen that is like a set of gymnasium bleachers, all facing the sun.
That is what I will do

My reasons for wanting to do this or try it aren't because they are cost effective but for simplicity. I'm sure top drip with a nute solution is usually going to give faster growth, more accuracy, and maybe cheaper than dry ferts and nutes, as long as you are getting the salts from an ag company like yourself. It would be nice though if results were comparable if you could just get a bag of Plant Tone or mix your own dry ferts/ammendments, and add this with some compost/ewc into the chow mix water with tap and call it a day. Maybe top dress once during the start of fl0wering and water with teas a couple times a month.
The only flaw I could see would be if you were watering with run off constantly through the day you would be flushing your nutes out of the mix. This is why I also mentioned the blumats so you just keep it moist with no runoff.
I'm definitely gonna try to get one plant going next month with this type of system outside and I'll be sure take lots of notes!
I've read that coco and pure organically don't work well, it was a study done by a college I think but the specifics don't come to mind. Mabe someone can chime in about the specifics of organically and coco only.
Confu...
To clarify, my proposed method of irrigation that gets 20% runoff will use 20% more nutrient solution than a blumat.
I wish I could remember the time-release home depot ferts, they would be perfect for your application I think, as long as the concentration worked out well.
Keep in mind coco contributes K and S, and strips Ca (and Mg I think) so our 20% runoff successfully addresses this.
One could always interface a drain with the kiddie pool, and collect the 20% runoff, and water veggies or something with it.
CAN YOU A SOG OF 1 GALLON PLANTS all the way to harvest WITH 80/20 hydto/COCO
Been runnin 60/40 Canna/Growstones in 30gal tan smarties. Hit my pers best last round in this setup, 6 plants per 4x8 under 2kw, 22-24 oz per plant. That was using aquaflakes as base. This round switched to Heavy 16 with the full Aptus lineup and added a biowave. Should do 2#/plant, snapin stems at 5 weeks this round with rhizo roots as thick as my thumb..
do normal spiders ever make a home in cannabis plants like near the top that can look like spider mites??..
pulling over 4# a light, that's impressive. I don't know if I'd change nutes with yields that large;)Been runnin 60/40 Canna/Growstones in 30gal tan smarties.
