Gonzo you can water once a day and your plants will grow fine, one of the benefit's with coco is that you can water multiple times each day and then you have yourself a "semi" hydroponic setup, watering more than once enables you to get more nutes into your plants thus increasing the rate of growth. You could water once a day at a higher EC or multiple times a day (3-5 feeds) at a lower EC.
During flower I can feed my plants 2.0EC 3 times a day without any burn and they love it (some strains won't like the higher EC), plus feeding more often also flushes salts from your medium. Come winter time the extra feeds of nice and warm nutes will keep your roots warm and happy.

Wow thanks all for the props everyone. I haven't been on IC much lately and forgot about this thread so sorry about the delayed response.
My veg area is simply 2 3x3 tents. I suck the air from the 600w hoods straight into the attic. Temperature stays between about 65-80F. Humidity is usually about 50-60%. I don't use any co2.
I do feed light nutes and lower light intensity for about a week after I transplant rooted clones into coco. I like to intensify the light over the week and get them to start showing signs of hunger before I start to bump the nutes up.
I don't know exactly how far I keep my light, but a rule of thumb I use is if the back of my hand feels uncomfortably warm after being under the light for a minute then it's too close.
Yes indeed. Always learning and always room for improvement.
Thanks bro! My nute regimen isn't really set in stone. What I typically do is get the plant to show signs of hunger, bump the nutes up about .2 EC and then the plants are typically very happy and in the zone. I keep feeding them the same until I see more signs of hunger or signs of over fert. Most grows I don't change the EC very much throughout the whole grow, maybe minor changes. I keep an eye on the runoff EC. It's almost always a little higher than the feed nutes but I like it to be maybe around .5-.8 EC higher. If it starts building up more than that I usually flush the medium with tap water and or lower my nutes a bit. The last 2-3 weeks I start to gradually lower the nutes. Otherwise I try to keep pH around 6 but let it fluctuate between 5.8 and about 6.4

If you're talking about my first post, with the Headband I got about 3lbs. If you're talking about the more recent one in this thread, I never got a final tally or final pics. I harvested early because of the new California carbon monoxide detector law. My landlord gave notice of entry so I panicked at first and harvested what I could. Eventually got around it by installing the detectors myself.

I got somewhere around 2.5-3lbs. Had around 2lbs of real nice buds, the rest was mostly popcorn. Now I'm trying to space my buds out a little more and clean up the bottoms better. Not getting quite as much but it's a lot less stress to chop it all by myself.
Thanks for checking it out!
nice looking scrog. good job.
