As my name suggests, I am a hydro guy. The wife is making me downsize - So I am moving from a 16 sq/ft 1K closet to a 6 sq/ft 400 closet.
I have been reading about coco for a long time and I want to give it a shot in my smaller space to maximize quality and yield. I plan to automate the grow with drip timer setup, but I will be hand watering in the beginning.
I currently have 9 plants (local Indica bagseed) that are about 30 days from seed growing in soil/perlite in plastic cups. I am planning to transfer to larger pots and coco in the next week. I have ordered Female Seeds Black Widow and Iced Grapefruit for the next batch, but I wanted to do a test run with coco first.
I have been feeding them a modified Lucas GH formula. I will continue will Head's recipe once I transplant to Coco.
So here are my questions:
1.) I was planning on using Canna CoCo as the primary medium. Should I consider B’Cuzz, CocoGro or something else?
2.) I was also planning on adding some Perlite with the coco. What are the advantages and disadvantages? What perlite ratio do you recommend?
3.) I am hoping for 4 females and 2-3 oz per plant. Would 1 gallon pots work, or should I use 2 gallon?
4.) Can anyone point me to a really good automated drip tutorial?
5.) Any other tips and suggestions?
Thanks.
