If you can get that in solo cups, you would do even better in .7 gallon airpots, if you can feed 3 or 4 times a day, or automate feeds. You should get at least one to compare.

I have been looking for a short tote to fit into my grow space as I would love to run a pump and drippers dtw. Finding the airpots up here is a challenge.

Do you run drippers in .7 gallon Airpots?

According to that ad, they are 1 liter. Could have sworn they said .7. I use them for first pot, from rockwool cubes. I go by DJM's coco tree's thread. He says to let them get a little dry on top before watering, until flower. The more feeds they need a day the better. I go to 1 gallon root routers, then 3 gallon airpots, which are really a little over 2 gallons.

The big advantage is air pruning of roots. Prevents root circling. The idea is when root reaches side, and air, it stops and you get side roots off main.

What do you get in way of dry, trimmed grams per watt? What kind of light?

DJM has a great thread. I have one Citi Cob 3000k driven @ 55w hung up, but I have 1 more on hand. The other side has 70w 6500k led shoplight for early veg seems to help the % of fems from reg seed. The space is 22"wide x 19" deep each side. G/w is tough as I never fill my space right up, I got 63g in the cure jars from 2 solo cup plants under 55w but had room for 4. Last run I grew a 90g in 1gallon coco dry and manicured. It wasn't trained much and didn't fill the space either, just some defol and I pulled the satellite branching out a bit to get better penetration and that is 1.63g/w....

This my first grow, but I'm using the air pots, and holy crap, the fibrous root mat is insane. I think the only "great" pictures I will get this grow is of the roots. I would love to see what Depriviation could grow in those things man. If that big in a solo they would literally be ginormous.

I missed the part about hermies. I have not had any issue with hermies, the roots fully encircle the bottom of the cup and are white and healthy. The key to this imho is getting the plants root bound in coco and doing multiple feeds a day.

Looking forward to see the progress. I am impressed with your grow methods in a solo cup.
Perfect idea for breeding on a small scale. Do you ever have problems with hermi's with being so root bound in small cups?

Peace GG

So I decided to join the 2017 Party Cup Challenge (thanks Fiddy) but with a different set of genetics.
Same program coco dtw with bennies and GH lucas formula.

Four Beans in the drink

Nice, glad to see you decided to join in the fun over there. I'm going to stick around for the rest of this grow show

Deprivation · 08-06-2017, 09:09 PM

Welcome, I was just looking around your workshop glad to have another cab grower around.

I thought I would post this since root bound stress was mentioned

Here is a root shot, it's the same plant as previously posted. Coco shrinks when dry and as these dry out fast the roots are exposed to air down the sides of the cups and that is my understanding of why the roots are less than bright white. My 1 gallon coco plants always have white roots @ harvest as they never get as dry.

And an harvested auto in 1 gallon of coco root shot
