you could go straight into the 5 gallons but you will get a better root structure if you "pot up"... but it isnt a must do....

i personally would put the clone into a one or two gallon first, then move up to the 5.

My roots have never grown threw my smart pots unless they are outdoors they may grow threw the bottom. If indoors on hard floor roots will not go threw smart pots they air prune makes the roots turn around other then growing up the side of the pot. You are loosing half or each root when they grow up agianst the side of a plastic pot because only half the root can grow hairs because the other half is up agianst the pot.

Air pruning is the same as when you see a tree growing on the side of a cliff and you see the roots have turned around and the tree still flurishing. If you have a tree growing next to a foundation big slabs of rock and such its growth is slower because it has to work its roots around or threw the rock feeding less in the process.

thanx mate..

they only grow threw if dirt is on the other side.

i screwed up enough to get here but i just switched the timer to 12/12 last night.

there's 6 plants to start:

2 Purple Urkle
2 Grape Punch
2 God's Gift

i also have 3 Odyssey cuttings vegging beside 6 OG Kush cuttings just taking root (3 days old) in another room. i'm using rapid rooters and clonex in my first propagation attempt, hopefully it works. i have a Hindu Skunk mother vegging in there in case all my OG Kush cuts fizzle out.

anyhow - the 6 in the tray are in 12L square pots of Canna coco. they have been fed Canna Coco A+B, Rhizotonic, Cannazyme, GH Florablend and AN B-52.

for flowering i will feed them Coco A+B, Cannazyme, AN Nirvana, Carboload, Big Bud and Overdrive then flush with Final Phase.

i was overwatering the piss out of them at first (i feel like an idiot for that post...) but besides some drooping here and there they've got a nice green like nothin i ever grew before.

got a few weeks before things get real interesting but i think this is gonna be good.

i would be careful mixing all those flowering products, and you dont need the b-52 if you are already using rhizotonic

I took your advice and bought a R/O machine today and a PH/PPM tester..I also bought a pump and some stones to aeroate the 55 gal water container- another $500 bucks later, but I am hoping it will be worth it.

now your ballin

Well since I've got to wait to do the grow I'm truly planning for, I'm setting up a grow for a friend. To be more cost effective I've decided to do a Canna Coco grow using all the Canna products:

Canna Coco
A + B
Rhizotonic
Cannazym
PK 13 + 14
Boost

Since this will be my first grow in Coco I'm excited. Though I was trying to stay under $200, I'm topping out at $400 for everything, which isn't bad. That's lights, grow room, nutes, genetics, etc. I'm testing out a CFL grow for a friend I'm setting up for. I typically do DWC hydro setups, but wanted to go more organic. I found this thread and read the whole thing and thought what the hell. Budget was limited so I had to think creatively. So excited and so can't wait. I read something about the Canna Boost not being all that. What about other possible better alternatives? I know someone posted a link to them, but is anyone actually growing with the airpots? I'm gonna try those out too. New year new set up new medium... why not. I'm growing in a smaller space and want to maximize it and thought this was an awesome way to do it.

I am going to a cannabis outdoor farmers market up in Clear Lake this weekend to pick-up my clones..I am not sure what will be there, but any strain suggestions for indoor coco grow would be welcomed.
