Lovely looking grow you have there man.

What are you doing for cooling to keep those temps down in the rooms? just the house AC?

I see the Active Aqua in your rez but I don't see a drip system on the plants. How are you watering?

It is 57 degrees outside so it is easy right now to keep it cool but normally house unit does the cooling.... Only play jedi mind tricks at night..... Helps ALOT

Have you ever grown HYDRO? It keeps the water oxegenated and doesnt allow nutrients to settle at bottom of rez... I do stir every day though just out of boredom...

watering schedule is every 3 hours... Flood trays

Nope I know jack shit about Hydro. I did not know that using Coco you could feed from the bottom like that in a pot.

Do a coco filled pot but use a shorter pot with a flood tray my air pots stood too high so thats why I went top drip. Smartt pots are perfect, with coco being so popular you will notice a lot more flood and drain growers ditching the hydroton filled pots and filling them with coco. Coco wicks up really well so in my opinion smart pots filled with coco would be awesome to do a flood and drain grow in.

And you are a caregiver??

Coco if packed tight will absorb water.. It is works well with flood trays.. does not allow over watering which is almost impossible with pure coco coir...

I have used 8 inch pots and it did not seem to make a differance... As long as the coco is packed tight it will absorb all the way the top of coco

I also use ZHO every few weeks and when I transplants clones into pure coco coir... ZHO Helps retain water and does not allow coco to dry out as quickly.. Also is packed with root enhancers...

Mix a tablespoon per gallon... And hand water the pots.. I do NOT mix this combo in with rez.. I would not recommend it either...

Damn, I just filled my res. Can I still pee in it?

Better idea, I pee in my 55 gal res of RO water and let it marinate?

Im using Airpots, im curious how coco would wick from a flood table using those. I guess i'll have to try it.

I currently grow straight up with soil and on the floor. We are gonna get some tables soon.

It should work fine dude remember your roots search for water too , so regardless of how much of the coco wicks up the roots will search for the water.

No VEG.. From clone I go straight to flower... I usually over kill the clones before I put into pure coco coir... I will have clone under CFL for at least a month... The roots on the rockwool get air pruned causing the rock wool to be full of roots... Very important if going straight to flower from clone...

Tallest plant is about 2 feet.... SOG style plants... I have plants at varies stages.. Most at week 6 flower, some week2 flower, week 4 flower,,,,.....

I have been looking for a strain that will produce the biggest Cola on the smallest plant... I love dense nugs and dont care for fluffy shit....

As far as crop projection - Your guess is as good as mine.... 6 Purple urkles under 1 foot tall took like they will have an oz or a little less each.. UNDER 1 foot tall plants.... As far as the rest I do NOT know.... Flush will begin in 16 days....

I switched from soil A LONG time ago... Imagine having hydro results with soil concepts....

Only thing different between soil and Pure coco growing is coco coir has NO nutrients in medium and has to be fertilized daily with nutrients.. Plants grow 3 to 4 times faster and NO skin stocks or stem like regular hydro techniques... Anyone that is a pure coco grower will say the same....

You are correct sir. The only problem I have found is that most of your roots will be towards the bottom of the pot since that will stay saturated longer than the top-middle
