I run a complete CGE, I run 10 x 1000 in the flower room. All in coco 3 gallon bags dripped from top 3 times a day for 4:20 in a recirculating system. There's about 110 in there right now and going to be adding some more tonight. I've attached some pics.
Hope all enjoy. I'll update pics throughout this run.
Here are a few more pics of the set up. I have both ro and a dechlorinator that I use. You'll see the water "in" line that I flip the lever to whichever one I want to use. I also have a chiller on my res and nutes that look like a hydro store. I can honestly say I've experimented with about everything. Now I stick to a customized nutrient regimine with the base being House and Garden and additives from a number of different companies. If you have any questions on how any of them work, I'd be more than happy to share. Enjoy.

Someone has balls. What a massive grow! Reminds me of Widowmaster's (misspelled) "How to grow marijuana" guide. ;]

Hey Dabu, I'm a patient and a caregiver so I'm pretty safe other than worrying about thugs. Got a blue pit and boxer mastiff mix for that. :-) My garden is nothing compared to some of my buddies. Thanks for the compliments though.

Here a few pics of the coco that I'm using. What I've noticed so far:

BCuzz coco (the darkest of the bunch)
Came out of the bag looking lovely. Moist and fresh. The crazy thing is, I already have roots to the bottom of the bag (3 gal). Now that could be from Roots Excelurator, but it also could be because of the coco. Maybe more mychorrizae? Don't know. BCuzz is my choice thus far.

Empire Organics Coco Peat
This is a little lighter than the BCuzz, plants are doing well, but nothing spectacular like the BCuzz. All are being fed at the same time same recipe. This coco does take a lot of waterings to get it saturated, or maybe the shop had a dry batch, not sure.

Eazy Coco Phase 1
This is the lightest of the bunch, huskier, and I literally can water every hour if I wanted to. This may be a good thing later on in the cycle, but for now, it's taking third place. No good, no bad.

Also, I fed to waste for 3 days and all coco's and then recirculated. This may have avoided some problems that I've heard with BCuzz on other forums. "MY" experience has been great, but everybody's room is different.
Hope this helps some people out.

I usually get my coco from 3 different places (hydro stores). I used to run Canna coco but have had better experience with BCuzz. Right now I'm running BCuzz Coco, Empire Organics Coco Peat, and Eazy Coco Phase 1. I just want to see if anyone coco is better than the other. Might pick up some canna for the next run.

Jondog123- I'm trying to push it to get 2lbs per light. However, I have not hit that yet. 15 is normal, but that depends on plant size and how many I put in. I normally don't veg more than 2 weeks. Sometimes I take em' straight out the Eazy Clone and put in the bag and straight in. I'll only do that if my cutting is over 8 inches. I usually take clones between 10-12 inches, let em' veg with Roots Excelurator for a week or two and then take them over to the flower room. This is quick plant, 54 days is the soonest, usually I'm cutting at 58. On my next run I'm gonna dedicate one table to Advanced Connisseur. I haven't been able to push that nute to it's fullest potential. So, maybe, I might be able to get that 2lbs per light, but highly unlikely. Anybody who says that to you, go see for yourself what the scale says when it's dry weight. I have a lot of friends who make my room look like booboo and still haven't hit that famous # yet. Oh, and I run on average 100-150 plants. I can legally hit 220 but not necessary.

very nice setup, but i think you have over nuted ur plants! and add more air. :blsmoke:

Thanks Charlie Green. Actually they were in hydroton right before I switched them over to coco. Plus I was using supernat grow and zone. I came to the realization that taking out the beneficials and zym did me more harm then good. So the ones you see that are overnuted were actually a little case of root rot as well. Honestly these were back plants just in case my hydroton did to me what it's been doing this whole past year...died. So I had to come to a decision after going into debt trying anything and everything to get my bucket system to work with the hydroton. Finally, I redid the whole room and medium. Now that they're in the coco they're shedding all the bad leaves off and have new insanely electric green on all new growth. Plus burn in coco is easy to get rid of. Oh, and the root rot was...right on in your opinion and asessment, I needed more air, hence the coco with 30% air retainment. Good eye and solution. The funny thing is I was only at 1.3 ec in the veg and they still came out looking like that. I hate rocks! However I am doing an experiment with roots excelurator on the leftover plants in veg. They looked horrible two days ago and now they are shooting brand new growth like crazy and I'm starting to see angel hair pasta type roots coming out of the net pots. I'll post a thread with that in about a week after the experiment is done.

mothafuckaaaaaaaa dun post this kinda picz dude.....i almost got a heart attack!!!!!!!!!!! lmao :D cheers!!!

LMAO Thanks Cheetah2007. Yah, I almost got a heart attack when all my plants ended up dead about 2 weeks ago. All the plants in the pics are my backup plants, just in case something like that were to happen. And low and behold. I've learned my lesson too many times. Always have a back up run just in case, then just throw the clones away or give em to your friends if you don't need them. But at least you're covered.

what problems have you had with hydroton?
Click to expand...
I think it's just me, cause my buddy does great and he basically has the same type of setup except with 11,000K. I've always experienced root rot or cyanobacteria. I used the bucket system and always, no matter if I put the plants directly on the bottom of the bucket or with a layer of rocks inbetween the bottom and the net pot, I always got root rot. So, I'm done with rocks. I can feed my ladies no more than what I was doing in the rocks and my roots are white as pearls and fuzzy. Coco is just better for me all around.
