once every other day? I feed nute solution at half strength 2 times aday! last 2 weeks flower 3times
Tupur isn't straight coco so it holds water a little longer than coco. I have the girls in number 5 pot so they have about 3 gallons of mix. As the grow though I'm sure the waterings will increase. Here's an older photo, they're about 2 weeks further along now.

i recycle my coco.
add some fresh & a touch of rockwool cruton to the final mix.

dwc is bomb. growth is incredible at all stages. im definitely gonna break out the 4 black buckets i got and revisit hydro. got everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) to run drip , ebb/flow , or dwc. you know its bad when you have a yardstash (tent) full of gear too much for the shed.

got 30 gals of hydroton stashed in a heavy duty tote just in case i feel like a little ebb/flow (which i love).

been playing with dip too. i enjoy the simplicity.

and i always go back to hand watering & coco coir. its easy. really that simple.

in my lab summer = touch & go with more than 1000w ...so i can switch to a coco/container simplicity to keep it moving. this summer 600w (ish) is all she wrote.

in the winter , this year, 3000 to 3400w definitely ! just flower.

gonna rock one table for SOG ....4 dwc buckets for trees ...and a 600w w/ my standard 3 gallons of coco/container. i use a tent in 12/12 for 18/6 pre flower too... which adds to my total flower watt.

im experimenting with longer veg time & root volume , and am setting a few things up for 50 to 60 days veg in scrog.

its all preference.

You use synthetic nutrients? When you recycle the coco coir (love that) do you have to rinse it at all to get rid of salt buildup or is it good to go as is?

i never rinse it. just use it in transplant situations for up-potting. i'll mix some fresh coco with the used & combine a bucket of rockwool crutons. that's it.

every so many runs i'll toss rootballs.
cut them up carefully and toss over time.
summer i hold more , winter i toss more... for curbside reason, more activity in the warm weather, etc.

roll smarts dudes !
even with your trash.
^ which forced me to adopt a recycle method.

my secret is 33gal trash cans @ 3 on rotation.
im using medium that sat out, covered, many months.
