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 ...

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.

2 gallon works great and you get over 5oz per plant.
Next grow I am actually going to try some 1 gal

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.

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...

IME (by the means of my own side-by-sides), the trick seems to be multi-feeding while still allowing the full wet/dry process between each feed. So if you want to feed 8 times per day. Your pot needs to dry out 7 times per day.

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

Another good thread is HGO's

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.

If I vegged for 5 months, I would only need 1 plant for your setup, unless it was a real slow veg strain with no stretch

Anyone that vegs for 5 months is not serious grower my opinion. ill let the rest decide. As for multifeeds not working and its BS why do commercial food growers employ this technique to crush it. Do some research pal before you put newbies off with your failed experiment.

Just read this. that is correct a big container it will not be effective. 1 to 2 gallon its the shizznitz. Anyhooo didnt mean to come across a dick. just hate when bad info spreads. hope you understand pal.
