the 10% runoff means you get a runoff equal to 10% of the water you give them, ie 10 plants, 10 gallons of water, one gallon runs off.
For fllod and drain with coco I use one gallon pots. I start seedling or clones in rapid rooter, transplant to 20 oz styrofaom cups to allow for root development, usually about a week, and then into the one gallon pots. 24 plants would fit on the table, I'm only putting 20 on it. The draw back is fungus knats love coco so you have to be prepared for that. Neem oil, dish soap and water, mist once a week to prevent. The neem will control most other pests as well, including spider mites. Here are some pics to help explain it. VV

I'll post it all tomorrow. It will take a while to do, but I do have all the information gathered for it. I'm not sure it saves any money but the size of the area dictated the size. VV
