Yield was no different for multifeeds
- Thread starter tiffa
- Start date
Vertical double cooltube, 1200w and about 850w of side lighting in 8 foot square room (approx 50w/sq foot) in coco
Lights on temp 25-27 degrees c - lights out 20-22
Veg RH 80-95 - Flower RH 60-70
Style is anything from 10 plants to 3 trees.
I've tried upto 8 feeds a day - It really doesn't make any difference compared to a wet dry cycle....admit it

What container sizes? I think anything over 2 gal/7.57 litre doesn't work well for multi. For me, the coco doesn't dry out enough between feeds to make more than 3 worth it. I think the point of multi is for it dry (still damp of course) between feedings so you're adding oxygenated feed water back to the roots.
If I feed once a day, the coco is almost too dry before the next feed. Have to have a well aerated medium for it to work. If the coco is too compact, it won't "dry" quick enough to make it worth it.

Maybe you are the one that has to admit you failed where others have succeeded
Read this thread, it will give you the answers:https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=300255
It's all about pot size. If you are not drying out between feedings, multi feeds will just keep things wet.
2 gallon works great and you get over 5oz per plant.
Next grow I am actually going to try some 1 gallon.
The guy at my local hydro store thinks I am crazy using 2 gallon.......he says most of the people that buy the coco still use 5 gallon pots. I guess at worst I save a few hundred dollars on coco each year, I am too lazy to reuse.

A group of growers in the UK who RUN a major website also tried it and they cry BS too....regardless of your 76 page thread, honestly you will believe anything ...
Thanks..Small pot size all makes good sense...unless you wanna grow trees like me...then multifeeding or not you're gonna need a MUCH bigger pot.....I mean I veg for 5 months sometimes, 2 Gallon just wouldn't cut it...
The thread stoned40yrs linked to is called "Coco trees". Do you understand VPD basics? If not that thread is a great read.
Good luck with whatever works for you

And for smaller setups, Dansbuds room is a good example of multifeeding, I think he does it with 3 gallon containers.
Maybe it's just not for you, but it does work and does increase yields.
On a small setup, the increase percentage may not be enough to justify the extra nutrients, work, etc, but the increase/work ratio also depends on how dialed in the room is.
