That is exactly what I've just done but with eight Exo under 1200 watts and with the same findings as you. I'll be switching back to NFT though

NFT is so simple and you only need to spend less than an hour a week taking care of it.
Filling the pots in the first place and watering eight separate pots everyday is a pain in the sphincter too imo. I had to use a length of plastic guttering to water the back few

haha i reversed into a parked car after smoking ghettos gg4 though, shit is like rocket fuel. What you struggling with on the feeding? I feed 4 times a day on a recirc timer and they love it.

i get a a gpw in coco, just got to treat it like hydro, loads of perlite and force feed in smallish pots and you will get the yields.

switched back to wilmas myself now but got the 2 in a tent to try and get the feeding right
i know the yields can be high like u limo but my problem was i started rooted clones in a autopot system what waterlogged for a week before i realised so switched it off and hand watered 1 litre in 11ltr pots once a day they looked decent and didnt drop leaves or out but they didnt seem to take off after the flip? i think i might of been underwatering in fear of overwatering again hah
anyway this time im hand watering 1 litre 2 times a day with a lil run off?

sounds good mate, do you mix any aeration medium with your coco? If you do its really hard to over water coco, every time you water you are pushing out the bad and introducing the good, thats the only way to get oxygen into the root zone, so different to soil. Heres my last coco run with silver mountain

I used autopots for quite a while and I put a few inches of clay pebbles in the bottom and a few layers of them in the pots too. I used organic Batmix as well. Plus bio bizz nutrients. You couldn't use the veg feed in the tank but you can get away with the bloom feed. I also used to have one dry day a week which I think helped.

thc247 uses them now and he gives dry days and mixes perlite and soil and does well the reason i never liked them was the dry period wasnt really dry lol it was like they just sat in 2" water!

I changed to NFT from autopots when I got fungus gnats and realised that autopots are the perfect breeding ground for them.
NFT is by far the most productive system I've used. I got 1.25 GPW with exo on the run I did before the last coco run which I just about nudged 1 gpw maybe just under but I tasted better than the hydro. Swings and roundabouts I guess

About the same as that and a bit more when I made the switch to NFT. I think 1.1 was about the best I got. I'm doing better with cheese but that's a better yielder whatever the medium I've found.
I ain't even got livers anymore ffs the guy that was keeping my cuts got a terminal case of spiders. I'm keeping my own mothers again now so I'm not relying on anyone else. My stable only has two cuts in it atm. Exo and GG#4. I haven't grown GG#4 yet though.
