Weighing Coco

[gr865]

Question:

Does anyone weigh their coco prior to putting it in the pots?
I started a couple of grows ago, weighing the coco/perlite, packing it in the Smart pots to the level desired and doing that to pots. I will water it in with nute solution and then top it off with coco/perlite to the desired level.
From my observations I note that by doing this the nute solution runs through the medium at a consistent rate. Prior to doing this I noted that some pots held more solution than the others, not having that now.

Just wondering if anyone else does this and what your seeing.

This is how I transplant, keeping the weight of the mix the same in each pot.

I don't think many people do that. This is a cool setup with scales integrated into the grow
