I'm 60 days into my autopot grow of Trainwreck.I ph the solution just before top up and thats it. My res last about a week with the 4 pot system and my plants look great! NO: pump, air pump, chillers, blah blah... Just how I like me grows, simple!

Now this is an auto so judge its size accordingly, trust me, this is a great plant!

It is in my basement with a concrete floor, so no lasting damage.

I'm just sick of wasting my time with it.

I use my pH meter a dozen times a day. My buddy who runs coco uses his a few times a week.

I have better things to do than babysit nutrient solution.

Man I'll tell you what I think about coco.....fuck that shit. Its either soil or soil here. I attempted to switch to coco too a few years ago and I didnt like it. I would build my own "super soil" and then you just water only....thats the ticket

If you don't mind, I use Rootmaker Pro propagation cells. I make a mix of worm castings and coco, 50-50. the mix give the seedlings a big boost and it holds together well during transplant. I sprout in that and when the leaves are just wider than the cell, i transplant to the pot of coco. The Trainwreck I posted was started that way. Works very well, and I've been using the width of the seedling's leaves as a transplant guide for sometime now. I've never have a seedling delay after transplant, I always see growth in less than 24 hours, usually in less than 12 hours!

here's a link to the propagation cells.and Rootmakers has some great info on root development on their site.

Do you have any tricks for getting seedlings to set roots in coco or any other media and blast off as fast as dwc? ;)

What's up guys. I don't know why the admins waste there time blocking me when I can get a new account at every library in America! Or the phones I go through like water. I bought my last one for a weed pipe and sold it for a dose last night! Arcata is pretty great but I'm on my way to the highway of the giants..Garbersville and then on to Haight and Ashbury. I can't wait to finally see it. They have some pretty fucking beautiful outdoor here I must say. It taste's great grown right in the ground and gets dense as hell. So one of my mom's friends said they want to make me a website called miles's great adventure! What do you guys think? lol I'm not settling on a girl until I find one that will follow me around and squeeze oranges on me all day! Not taking anything less lol. I might never leave hippie hill. Oh wait there's a chick in boulder I need to see so I better find what I came for and get back asap. I'm about to go to the guitar store and buy this sick 12 string an old Sigma. 200 bucks with a hardshell case. Ty won't ever message me back so I guess I'll just keep throwing you guys these random updates...if this bothers him he really needs to relax and smoke a fucking joint lol. Yeah a dollar here gets you a handful. Some bum in the park got a pound of untrimmed from last year for 25 bucks lmao he was giving it all away yesterday. It's nuts here I can't wait to see the rest of the world! Our weed is still better though...no questions asked!

I was on the verge when the rot hit but I've come this far lol. I only run 100 liter res's but PH is one of the only things that is steady between Res changes.

That's a lot to suggest. I'm sure I'll have some questions for you. Meanwhile, thank you for this!

Can you explain a lil more about pulse top feed?

feeding anywhere from 4-12x per day utilizing drip irrigation and a cycle timer that will turn on (from 10sec to 1min +) at a designated interval (every hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs etc). i shoot for minimal run off.

every coco grower has seen the ph swing if they let the substrate dry out. if hand watering this can develop quickly from every other day to daily.

if you take the time to build the root capillary a single well placed drip line will be the grow partner you never had.

by using hempys you can control feed that much more and minimize overall nutrient usage, as we all know.

also i don't reuse my coco as i use mkp and have seen veg hit with leftover mkp in the bottom of a rez.

This sounds very much like the direction I'm planning to go.

The first batch, fried as it is, will at least cover its nut. Very pretty purps, very sticky and stinky. The bad news is they got some PM on the backside due to a lack of adequate airflow and ventilation against the panda film.

If you look carefully, you'll notice these have several inches of clearance between trellis and the reflective surface behind them, specifically to address that problem.
