Man I gotta get a real keyboard for this one J/k
before I get carried away I should ask what do you clone with. Water or cubes?

That's what I thought, Feed like soil and get soil results right?
I don't know how it took me this long to stumble into this thread...taggin in.
nice thread crop! not sure how i missed it!
yup
SirSmokalot is throwin some great info at ya , so i'll let him roll with it .
Yep mine was off by 2.0 somehow and I calibrate every 2 or 3 feedings. Good thing you checked it and for everyone one else CALIBRATE THOSE METERS!
Stopped by the hydro store to see if I could get the jacks through them and talked me into sticking with H&G which I was thinking about and I'm kind of glad since I wont have to get used to another line. But he said I should start in 1g and flower in 5g and I wont have to build a drip or buy blumats just feed every other day? I like to think were friends and he's not just blowing smoke up my ass but does that seem right to you guys?
not sure which store you go to, but if its the one next to the tracks there isn't one employee that grows in coco that works there. the bigger dude has tried and failed and went back to rockwool, I've seen his results from both mediums and he made the right move switching back to what he knows lol.
pot size depends on a lot of factors, one being number of plants under each light. as a general rule of thumb I like to put around 16 gallons of coco under each light(give or take strain depending), so for 4 larger plants I use 4 gal pots. you shouldn't be transplanting mid flower ever, I like giving them at least a week in the final pot before the flip. the main thing is you want to size your plants so that they will dry out the pot daily at least. I personally like to have wet/dry cycles more so than staying constantly moist(blumats, although I have had many successful runs using blumats in coco). pot size is also somewhat strain dependent, I personally don't run og's in pots larger than 2g but I flip them small and let them stretch. at the end of the day my personal favorite pot sizes are 2's and 3's, and I'd lean more 2g if your going to be running drips. I have flowered single plants under a light in 10 gallon pots also, and good root development and the ability of the plant to dry out its container in a timely matter is really whats most important at the end of the day. you want to water your coco at least 1x daily...basically you want to give them whatever they can take. fwiw I never had problems with too much stretch & small buds as a result of large pot size unless the plant was just too small for the pot...or cookies, but that crap happened regardless of pot size for me.
I agree with sir about using the aqua flakes in coco, although I never had issues with low N when I was using it, and I'm pretty sure we used it in a pretty similar fashion. I use tap water though, so maybe thats why? h&g are solid nutes
nice outs btw.

I did use h&g for a long time but currently use canna. I have thought about switching it back up to h&g on multiple occasions but I usually have a stock of canna on hand that I don't want to just shelf for no particular reason. they're both REALLY similar although I was definitely able to pull more color out of h&g, and my yields have been slightly better with canna...I probably should do a side by side.
dans- that's just one of the things I kinda picked up on over the years, I'll usually do 9 -2's, 6 - 3's, 4 - 4's, 3 - 5's, 2 - 7's...you get the point lol but I think in the case of one plant per light 10g's are more than adequate. more of a guideline than a rule I suppose. but there is definitely a point of diminishing returns going larger on pot size with coco. I like my 3's
