coco may as well be hydro in fairness. it's inert. you'd probably get the same result weight wise from a drip feeder ring on top of the coco. there was an old guy on here Mammath an Ozzy that did it literally nothing but 2-3 ft of cola and half a dozen to 8 of them in one pot. recirculating drip feed. I doubt you can find anything of him after the loss of all old pics though....

my mate done that just a pump in a large 100/200ltr storage box filled with water n nutes of course, then conected to lines n drippers which he run to all the pots (coco) and the pump on a timer, it worked well.

Few reasons really, not in any order....

Cleaner
Cheaper
Better yield
healthier plants
less work


Think I'm set on 12 x 6 litre airpots filled with pebbles on 3 trays.

3 trays of 4 pots each, drip feed recirculation.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

healthier plants?!?? shouldn't be unless your slipping in coco yorkie!

I'm tempted to do a single or couple plant set up in them airpots which are just gravity fed instead of using a pump when i shift

id really like a go at the dwc, have seen some wicked yields with it but doubt i ever will lol im always too scared ill fuck it up so just stick to what i no n all that jazz.

recirc DWC is the shiznit but it scares me too tbh. the results if done right are immense though. not exactly easy to break down and do a runner or stash in a van for a day etc lol

Looks more like an NFT table. or was that what you're going for?

 

[Pompeygrow]

Well I could get it more precise, I wouldn't have to worry about PH and salt as much.

The very beginning and the very end would benefit I reckon.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

buffered nutes are pretty simple but i'd still be pretty wary of not taking notice of the ph. unless you dump the res and refil from scratch each time but you know you're not getting max potential that way

 

[The Yorkshireman]

No I mean I wouldn't have to worry about how the coco behaves or rather how the plant behaves in coco.

I would be able to know that the PH is even across the whole system.

 

[Pompeygrow]

you guys downloaded the battlefield hardline beta thats thats ready for download now ?

Aye similar, I'm thinking grow bag trays with airpots sat on top, drip feed into the pebble airpots.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

should work a treat man. deffo need to take care of the ph if your recirculating mind.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

I'm torn between recirc or drain to a waste tank yet.

I'll probably try the drain to waste first, could add recirc later, it's only another pump really.
