if you want to use coco properly and multifeed it ( the best way to have the best results) i wouldnt exceed 5 gallons of coco .. over this you will not be able to get the proper dryback every morning before starting to water ..

(5x 1 gal pots of pur coco i meant )

This is how I set up my tents.
Flood tables with orbit dripper manifolds to 1/4” line.
Swapping the green floraplex and going with Black Hole drippers next run.
It's coco, just has hydroton on top to keep the coco moist on top and gnats away.
Separate rain barrel reservoirs. Drain to waste.
Auto's on top, the lower pic is photo's before setting up drippers and splitting them to both trays in the 9 x 5.

Current pic. Two trays running drain to waste. One 3/4” line split to feed each tray.
Picture of reservoir with timer. It times the pump and an aquarium circulating pump.
Pump, aquarium circulator and aquarium heater. Easy. 7C4455A3-AFF2-49E5-9D0C-CBB174B16AD7.jpegD491F631-FB99-4BF3-8598-2769E50275A6.jpeg2D6D1BB5-C572-4E66-B24D-7999B484AE9D.jpeg62B4A622-1087-4799-B596-5908754E6EB6.jpeg

ahhh, no hydro shops in my state lol ive used spa hose before, does a great job of holding the cold in (i have to use a chiller for my system as opposed to your heater-lucky! lol) but it only comes in 3/4+ sizes, really wish i could get it in 1/2 >.<

I’m sure those photos will help. I got all the ideas from here and ICMAG.

All plants 6 weeks from seed. First coco runs. Topped at 2nd node once they hit 6 nodes. Going for four main colas on all.

Good system. I’d just use a manifold though, instead of poking all those dripper lines like in the video. Much simpler and cleaner looking.
