fucking hell mate that sounds like a mixed bag, I wouldn't fancy that many different strains running at the same time especially with the different strength feeds etc, I won't be able to ditch the ph metre mate not until I've seen with my own eye's that the numbers stay in the right area's, I'm sure all will be fine but I'll need to know the ph with the different nute strengths just for peace of mind, I was told years ago you don't need to ph my soil grows and that turned out to be a half truth, sure you could get through with out worrying about the ph but I don't believe for one second you could pull the same numbers as using the ph metre.
I'm gonna stay away from the rhizotonic for now just because of what it does to the ph I hate having to add ph down, just doesn't seem right adding too much acid to ya plants.
was you happy with growing in coco then mate? after my last attempt I'd sort of written it off but after seeing these guys make it look as easy as soil I got pulled back in for the yield.
i thought it was the same as soil. the only thing i noticed was i had to water them more. im not sure if it was cos of the coco or air pots but i was watering 10L air pots every other day with the white widows, in soil they had it every 3-4 days. i noticed a big difference in yeild tho but air pots could be part of that too.

@ic3 i thought you'd have to water till run off. ive always taken less is more as in less nutes per L of water? if you dont get all the soil/coco wet in the pot, aint you reducing the amount of roots you have and the amount of water they can take in?

na soaking them like that makes the plant lazy and not grow as much,, MAKE THEM roots look for that water make em work,, uil end up with much bigger plant,,, also wen repotting,,, let the paant get roobound a little as u put them in bigger pots so wen u do put in larger pot its like a realse for them roots and u get a boost in growth,, in my opinion anyways :)

Sounds like a good number mate I know a few home carers and they all love their jobs aswell, I couldn't do it personally because my stomach is to weak when it comes to cleaning people etc but if it wasn't I have a crack at it.
How come you gave it up mate?

I found it pretty much the same aswell mate and had to water evry other day I was and will be using 6L air pots with catch pans underneath, I bottom watered last time and they seemed to love it, I had a hell of alot of thick roots filling the gap between the bottom ring and the bottom of the pot it was jammed so hoping to do the same again, I also gave them just water every third watering and see any harm.
I did notice a difference in yield aswell but it wasn't a true side by side because they were from seed (serious seeds chronic) they very uniform and the differences did seem to be the medium, but all in all it wasn't much different to soil like you just said just the extra waterings did my head in but the upside was it did keep me in the room nearly everyday with half being soil and half coco.

im sticking with coco for a bit. ill try clay pebbles in a flood and drain system in the next 2-3 grows tho and see the difference. im trying to decide what to do with my next grow. i want to run white russian but im undecided on fems or regs after the trouble i had with the barneys farm seeds

sounds like an adventure mate lol I know a few lads that use the sniff in work and I used to do base myself during the longer shifts or atleast that was my excuse at the time lol

Always best to leave on good terms if ya can I look back and think back to a few jobs I fucked up by leaving badly even though they were good jobs.

sounds like a plan mate I'd just go with their femmed mate I bought a pack after we were talking about it, I haven't bothered to germ them yet because I can only have the 1 600w hps on due to temps and the clone onlys have been under that revegging, I will be germing them soon though and won't have any worries about herms, I've grown out either 4-5 fem packs from serious seeds and haven't seen any probs mate at all I think I've only had 2 bad plants out of them aswell and even 1 of those 2 bad plants prob gave me a good couple of oz.
Honestly mate I wouldn't advise them if I thought they were hermie prone 24+ plants atleast and not a single sign of anything dodgy and that's been in less than ideal conditions aswell mainly in a shed during the summer with stupidly high humidity.

its very important to water till run off it dosent make them lazy thats bullshit

1. it washes excess salts out the coco normally you would just do a little flush do to this but plain water + coco = say goodbye to your important micro life

2. he bottom 2/3 of your pot is the water root if you dont soak all the coco your water root arent getting the water the bottom of the pot can always be wet because the air roots at the top till getting air
