Im thinking of starting some DTW in coco and was wondering what to do with the waste/how much waste is there?
It was a general statement.I know that.
I usually empty my dwc buckets onto my lawn outside
There's no runoff with the bottom fed autopots. People grow crazy plants with those.I'm busy doing my first coco grow with no runoff (yes, sacrilege) We are in a drought though. I have a theory that it will be OK for the duration of a growing cycle. Shit will be hot as lava afterward.
I would say you are right.I'm running auto's so it's seed straight into coco. I water (with rhizotinic) lightly just like a soil grow for the first 10+ days. As soon as I feel they need more than rhizo I go full flood daily.
Dunno about the timer but it sounds about right for 1 gallon pots. Takes almost a quart to see runoff from 1 gallon of straight coco in my experience.
@whitebb2727 I bet that's the final blow to legal indoor home grows in the US some day.
High nitrogen and phosphorus creates algae blooms which starve the water of oxygen and leads to deadspots where everything aerobic dies.It was a general statement.
People may not think about it.
The water plant here has big holding ponds with plants growing to help remove some of it.
Read something on this recently in Cali they are finding illegal pesticides in rivers. Funny part is that illegal growing took place near there years prior. Scientists believe the soil acts as a filter and slowly releases the contaminants. Like a layer cake they said.I will also say that cannabis being illegal has repercussions as well.
Look at the illegal cartel and guerrilla grows. Tbose guys go into the wild and dam up creeks and use poisons and what not. Its devastating.
