coco does fine in large pot sizes.. just got to pot up 3 seperate timesHey everyone, thanks for chiming in if you decide to.
Was wondering if I could grow mother plants in coco coir just fine? What size pots if so? I know coco doesn't do as well in higher pot sizes but I'm also worried about my mother plant getting root bound fairly quickly. Do I have to prune roots if I decide to do coco and transplant to bigger pot?
You only keep mothers for 10 weeks or so? I thought the purpose of them was to keep the genetics around and that they would last a year or more, what’s your school of thought behind your process if you don’t mind me asking? I’m sure there’s a method to your madness lol I’m just too smooth brained to derive it I guess.For me it always depended how often I'd change mother plants. I'd usually go 10 weeks, or so. A 2.5 gallon pot with a 6 inch rockwool block souronded by rockwool crutons (mesh bottom/feed to waste) did the trick
I’ve always heard it preached here not to go above 2 gallon pots for coco grows, to insure the substrate is fully saturated and that you can get runoff. I just don’t want to run into any salt problems in the bigger pots keeping a mother for a year.coco does fine in large pot sizes.. just got to pot up 3 seperate times
Ive had great results with 10 gallon grow bags of coco.I’ve always heard it preached here not to go above 2 gallon pots for coco grows, to insure the substrate is fully saturated and that you can get runoff.

Will most likely just go full hydro for the mothers. Gonna have three of em under 2 4x4 lights to fill out 750 square feet of flower. Someone let me know if anything I said sounds unrealistic though. I’m here to learn and hopefully find any mistakes I would have made before making them.
Yes, that is the purpose. Id start with the best looking 2, or 3 clones...You only keep mothers for 10 weeks or so?

A mother should be kept in soil at a bare minimum of veg mode. You just add a bit of soil from time to time and water correctly.
A mother can last for years if cared for properly.
I've never kept a mother in soil. My clones look great, root fast, and that way has never failed me. Besides Di n Grow, I also feed bloom nutes the 2 feedings prior.
