Once your roots fill out you should not have wet/dry cycle. All that is doing is turning your nutes into salt. DJM explains that in the thread that stoned40 posted. I have grown trees in 1 gallon easily.

This noob has no clue, and obviously doesn't know how to grow in coco. Not even worth explaining it.

If I vegged one crop 5 months I'd be out of business in 2. Spend your energy growing bud, not stems and leaves.

I've tried upto 8 feeds a day - It really doesn't make any difference compared to a wet dry cycle....admit it

I would say I totally agree. I have never done a comparison myself but have done a shitload of growing. I'm definitely no scientist but I think yield is dependent on two things. Genetics and the growers growing ability. A distant third may be the nutes you use. Personally, I have had my best yields in coco but I don't believe it's due to the number of times I water a day. I never actually let the coco go completely dry and my largest pot is 5 gallon eco's. I water once a day more or less with about 15 - 20% run off and every two weeks or so I'll do a light flush. When I grow in coco (which is all I will use from now on) I use Canna. It's definitely the cleanest and best coco available (imo) and even though it's expensive I use the full line of Canna nutes. I never seem to have problems going this route.

Maybe for my own benefit and of course the icmag community I'll do my next grow in smaller pots and multi feed?

Seems like you lost your bet Stoned40years. Hows it feel?

Did you really just turbo post a bunch of crap to prove that?

Iused to get away with hand feeding daily well a few good 24oz girls in 75l bags and may have to continue like that doing outdoor coco.

But the science and forums weath of knowledgeable experience is clear. Automated timed feeds with correct pot size whoops hand feedings arse done properly.

One thing i’m more interested in is when going to 30-50gal in coco that advantage would be seen with a much lower or squat pot/bag profile. low with a wider footprint.

It’s my mission to find out.

*whistles* hadn't seen that coco trees thread yet. Good stuff!

This is a funny thread. Of course more feeds leads to more growth which leads to POTENTIALLY higher yields. Same with additives or co2 even. They are tools to faster growth rates when done correctly. Problem is the amount fed and the time between feedings. It's tricky to say the least. Easy on a monocrop but that's about it. Anything larger than a 5 gal is almost always a waste of time unless you're aerating your coco.
