hi all i am switching to 12/12 in a couple if days in witch i always repot into 11l pots. i am using coco with the canna nutrients, just wondering if i would be able to put a nice layer of clay pellets at the bottom then put my soil then plants in would this be OK?
Its does offer an O rich environment. It can save roots. I know they say you can not drown a plant by overwatering in coir.But it takes away from the plants energy. It has to tread water rather then grow. JK
I put a 4-5" layer of coco croutons with one of my transplants to see if it made a difference. After a couple of weeks vegging, that plant is considerably larger than my other girls. But that could be attributed to the container it's in. 10 gallon tub instead of the normal 5 gallon bucket. It's only one plant so you can't really base anything on the results but what JK says makes sense.
I'm definitely staying with the bigger tubs, regardless. My 4 girls in flower got root bound after 10 weeks of vegging in 5 gallon buckets. I would have had to water them a few times a day if I didn't transplant the 5 foot tall girls :)
I'll try the hydroton along with the croutons next time in the same size tubs, but with more plants.
just picked up the floramite today.im getting a fogger tommorrow . this is only the second time in 18 years ive had them both times from taking cuts from friends.
