Hey all,
If any of you coco growers ever visit the hydro forums you may have seen my recent attempt at trialing the Sure to Grow Ebb&Grow bucket inserts. I was unable to dial the medium and couldn't stand looking into a room of shitty plants so I scrapped the idea after I was unable to turn things around. If you want more info regarding my thoughts on the STG inserts please visit that thread as I do not want to go into it here.
Fortunately I had 3 giant white widows and 25 unidentified clones which will be taking place in the room....so this is my coco blog.
I have a little experience in coco but not much. I'm typically a Hydroton Ebb&Grower, and got started in growing using SWC/DWC. I've never grown in soil...coco is as close as I've came. Wish me luck!
Currently handwatered, but need to come up with a autowatering system fast. Any tips. Just need something for one grow as I'll be going back to hydro after this..thinking of a CPVC "bar" down the middle w/ 1/4" drip lines from it to the plants...I'd like to shoot for little run off. I've got nothing to catch it besides the pond liner in the room. Any runoff would have to just evaporate.
Any recommendation on drippers (pressure compensated, flag, basket, 1/8 sketti)?
How do I ensure equal flow to each grow bag? recommended pump size?

Room Specs:
5400w (9 600w in Daystar ACs)
12" MAX Venting the Lights
Atami Bcuzz Coco (purple bag)
Runing Sentinel Co2 Generator w/ GreenAir SPC-1 Controller
Nutes - Hesi TNT (veg) and Hesi Coco w/ PK13/14 (bloom)
may toss in some piranha over the next few weeks.
Any comments, tips, ect definately appreciated.
Love this 1st pic - get your sexy on! thats yoyo hangers which didnt work out well enough. was unable to lift the lights as high as I needed so I added the light pole and am using mini-blind style hangers to raise/lower the lights.
The 3 white widow monsters above have been under a T5 for a short period. They've been fed RO water using Hesi TNT, Root Complex, and Hygrozyme every watering. Have never checked the pH on these..but with my RO being 5.8 the nutes prolly knocked it down to around 5.3 or so. They are in 3 gallon smart pots.
The smaller plants are either blueberry for afgan mango (cuts got mixed). They were left in a clone tray off to the side of an HPS for awhile. They are acually much older plants that jut got their break. They've been getting about 500mL every watering consisting of Hesi TNT..sometimes a dash of piranha.
Note - that grey trashcan in the pics is filled with hydroton from a previous hydroton run. I really need to take it out bucket by bucket..damn I'm a lazy F'er. Its heavy stuff and I'm a scrauny dude.
Peace
