Could I use something like this (geopot planter) as an indoor bed?

I've been looking into this as well. Unfortunately, I already have 3x3 outer diameter flood trays, so I need a bed liner that is more like 33" squared, so a bit smaller than the 3x3 geopot. I've been looking around for this smaller version but to no avail. Sorry to derail, but does anyone know where I could find them?

im currently using round, smartpot beds. i have 4 36" round pots. they each sit on a 4x4 table with drains on each one. pure coco. Botanicare KIND nutrients with, other add-ins like, budswell, terpinator, MOAB, occasionally throw in some cal-mag. ph 5.6-6.0. And im killing it. ive just recently started using the beds. and have just started to figure out the nutrient schedule needed. unfortunately my room is having some ventilation and heat issues im working on. but besides from that, I love coco in beds on tables to drain. KIND line works wonders as a base nute for coco because of the added calcium.

just thought i would give my two cents and whats working for me. good thread btw great info. i will be switching to the geo pots because of the square shape and pvc framing.

I use the geoplanters. Promix, Gaia 4-4-4 organic mix and worm castings. I dont have a drain im using blunats with the pressure reducer. Its easy to adjust the moisture level in the beds with the blumats.

So are you water only with the blumats, or do you use ACTs and other teas?

I havent had to add anything to the beds during flower except water. The pots on the other hand ive had to top dress with worm castings and a small scoop of the 4-4-4 organic mix.

I've been trying to make things as simple as possible. The no till beds and blumats seems to be the way. The reason my beds are on the floor with no drain is I'm using gavitas having them on the floor lets me crank them up to 1150 with no problems.

Geoplanter in flood trays are the way to roll for "soil"!
