Flow & grow issues with water in bottom of buckets

[Nameless_fcuk89]

Awesome man.. I really appreciate the advice. Coco is much easier to do than hydro huh? I’m probably gonna try it out after this grow. There’s a lot Less to worry about when it comes to the roots right?? Titan makes these bags that fit inside these buckets for coco but I read something on a forum about it not being a good choice to run in this system. It sounds like you really know your stuff man so I figured I’d ask you.

If doing coco you gonna need autofeed. Hydro growth is faster... but thats not always better. You can see the ridiculous growth in 2 weeks above. Its really going to come down to how well you keep the environment and the rootzone. I wouldn't say one is easier than they other but maybe that system is a bit more finicky than others.

I don’t see why doing coco in this system would be any different than doing it whith a flood table or top feed. Also just wondering why do you water your plants 10 times a day?

I like clay pebbles, once u get it down ur plant grows so quick the stems bust open ! Haha

Yeah you can use that system i prefer top feed so less chance of buildup. But a simple top feed once a week should be fine. Because they are in 1 gal pots and drink alot. You NEVER want to let coco dry out. Here is a thread I did on coco that explains it. You feed according to pot size and runoff. Cant really go wrong this way.

HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.

Ok writing this cause i see this issue often and rather have a thread to link than explain this each time. This is not my work but a collection of info from many members here and I have put into practice myself. So first off COCO is NOT soil. For best results we want to keep it saturated...

Hell yeah... sounds good man!! I’m gonna check out that video and this thread tonight. I found some enzyme nuts around the house to. Called dyna zyme, that should be a good mix with the hydrogaurd huh?

This stuff?

 

[Nameless_fcuk89]

Yeah that’s the stuff.

and I should use it throughout the whole grow? I’m using a few additives already.

Yes and yes... I dont think it as nutrients in it but I didn't look.

Cool thanks buddy... Sorry I’m not understanding what you meant by I don’t think it is as nutrients.

It shouldn't affect your ppm. Typo should be has not as

Lol.. yeah I figured that’s what you meant. I poured it in there and now my reservoir is foaming up like crazy. Is that normal?

Yeah... did it say how much to add to hydro? Probably added a bit to much bit yeah can foam a bit.
