Cool man. Def gonna look into the coco...going back to afta this one...a gift already in soil so have to save them first then let em go!! Looking good so far... Better each day, growing new nodes, some were clones some were all in a little cup, 5...... Unknown sex so that kinda sticks...l.p. gonna have to work with them. Should be intresting. Thanks again for the advice on the salt and coco.... What's up with salt based, how does that help....is there a way to increase it for better nute uptake.....Straight coco for me. I've mixed perlite and hydroton with coco years ago and didn't see any difference. As far as castings and other natural fertilizers that are often mixed in soil, there is no need for those in coco IMO. They just gum up your coco and defeat the purpose. Plants in coco thrive due to oxygen availability in the root zone. This enables the plant to uptake nutrients and water at a higher rate and thus grow faster and bigger.
A simple salt based nutrient schedule is all you need to grow some really good bud. There are other tip and tricks for growing in coco. You can find them all here on THCF if you invest some time to read up.
Try to humbolt gold and see if there is a difference, been looking to go to canna... Really that good?I've gotten my best results with canna coco. The high o2 levels combined with fast drainage that gives you the ability to feed everyday makes it pretty easy to slay it. IMO.

My guess would be a drip system and you can keep them in small pots of coco. Im doing 1gallon grow bags all thru flower and getting good results.What's the best auto watering Method for coco. And would I still need to do all the repotting?
^ 3 gal pots can get you 8oz bro, 5 gal can go over an elbow.
Word on that! 3 gallon smarties and you got some fat dense nugs. Quarter pounders in 2 gal plastic pots scroggin. If you dont want to water everyday get a bigger pot. I run drain to waste and also in saucers. Running in saucers allows me to water a 3 gal pot once a day leaving a little nutes in the saucer for them to drink.
And there isnt anything wrong with brick coco. I luv it! Charged with nutes and ready to grow!! :cool:
Yeah, if that's the plan then you're into 'tree' territory, and I think in that case bigger (for roots) is better. If you went with SmartPots, you would need to water more, but you would also enjoy the benefits of a breathable container. I'm going to suggest as big as 10+gals to start, if you're game. Just be certain it's prepared properly (rinsed and charged with mild vegging nutrient solution and PLENTY of Ca, most folks use a Cal-Mag product of some sort).I'm planning to espalier the plants against a wall with vertical lighting at the centre of a circle. I'm guessing I'm going to need a large pot, as I need a lot of growth.
