What size pot for coco flood sog?

[Roperunner420]

Space is limited so I want to get as many as possible into the 36 by 36 space. I appreciate any guidance.

How long do you want to veg for? How many times a day do you want to feed? When planning things out the size of your space matters but other things like what I asked is way more important

 

[Roperunner420]

Feeding 8 times a day. Veg till they are 8 inches.

Mainly trying to crawl before I walk in a larger space. I have a bunch of 1000 w gravitas but my current situation won't allow it.

If using smart pots you don't need more than a one gallon but even with that you won't be feeding eight times a day

Ten week veg fed five times a day. I don't get to feeding five times a day until week 6 or 7. I run quarter inch drip lines on a low pressure system in three gallon smart pots

Nice. Due to height restrictions I need to keep plans to as small as possible. That is why I have selected to run sog. I am trying to use smaller airpots with coco, perlite, and a few hydrotons tossed into the mix. I was under the impression that the smaller 1 liter pots would allow me to feed more frequently at a lower ec. Correct me if I'm wrong, I am a first timer.

Air pots are a no go because coco can fall out and get into your pumps. Unless you are doing drain to waste with your run off. You can go with a liter pot but don't start off at eight times a day to feed. It's going to be something you have to check on and feed accordingly. You will over water that way really quickly and kill everything

I will certainly heed your advice. Thank you.

Now to get to your question. When you say 36 by 36 you mean inches right? If so 36 pots will work, 6 rows of 6. You might want to think about doing some training instead so your plant count isn't so high though.

Yes s the space is 36x36x48 inches. And I have a tent that is 48x36x50. I was considering training if I have to. With the airpots I constructed out of landscape cloth I can fit 22 in the table with room for the pump. They aren't femionized so I am just shooting for as many females and if the numbers of ladies are low in will definitely so some training. What training methods do you you prefer? Top,supercrop,or FIM? I am looking to give FIM a shot.
