Going Coco with AN: pot size and FIM vs Apical.

cal-mag 2ml a gallon all the way through. maybe 3-5ml a gallon if you have blurples.
as for pot size, how big of a reservoir do you want to run?
depending on pot size, you will have to water them more often, do you have a drain pan to catch runoff?
1 gallon pots need 3-6 waterings a day through flower.

I will be using 2.9 gallon pots for each plant (11 liter each). And yes, I do have drain pans.
 
thats nice. make sure you work up to that size. transplant from 8 oz cups to 3-5liters then those. will help your roots grow faster.
 
but depending on size you might not need that big of pots, I'm scrogging out 6 coco plants so I will be bumping them up to 3.5 gallons which is complete overkill but I have root boosters and bennys that are kicking ass at filling the pot out. if you do go that size make sure you try and get a root tonic or some bennys to help root faster.

What do you mean by overkill? I have voodoo juice for the roots.
 
as in the advantage of growing in coco is getting a bigger yield by feeding them multiple times a day. if the pot is too big and there is too much soil for the roots to dry out you lose that advantage.
