I have done alot of grows in coco and I just realized that if I grow in pots that require watering 2 or 3 times a day ( 1 or 2 gallon )
versus once ( 3 gallon ) my growth is quicker and more dense. Any input?

yup. thats the best way IMO. The main reason HYdro does better than soil too.

next run will be 60 in 1 gallon pots versus 16 or 20 in 2 or 3 gallon pots. I am thinking it will make for a significant increase in yield

Here is some pics. I flush them like crazy and now feeding them with 500ppm (calmag and 20-20-20 jack classic). Im using .8 gal airpots. hand feed once a day drain to waste with about 30 percent run off. the current runoff is about 250ppm. ph is about 5.8. Is this still nute burn? i notice new leaves turning taco leaves. this is driving me crazy. Please help

The humidity are about 44%-50%. is that too low for veg? I found out that they light was on 24/7 for week. im using 2 l000w hps. What can be the problem?

Is the bcuzz a mix? When I got the roots organics I didn't know it was cut but it seems pretty good. I put freshly rooted clones in it no soak no nutes for 2 weeks had good root growth and am seeing some nice veg growth after feed. Package says water every other day unless heavy feeding. I guess what I'm reading is feed often going to waste at 30% of what's put in. I'm rolling with it but I'm a cheap bastard and don't like the waste.

Taco leafs up means too high heat. When you feed him ppm and high humidity the plant brings more water and feed in resulting in high salts in plant. Leaving appearance of nute burn. Get more air flowing or raise the light.
Just my two cents. Give them a couple days of this to see major recovery I think.

Thanks! I raised the light about 3 1/2 feet high. It been kinda cold in the room around low 70f. I hope its ok in couple days. I had couple girls in flower. they are three week in flower and flower are really small side by side with some in rockwool. Its seem like they grow really slow in coco with 3 gal airpots. the one in rockwool are like double the size. I thought coco grow fast and easy to handle.

bcuzz is coco. it has less salt content than the bricks but a lot more expensive.

anyone here use coco with airpots? im not sure why my girls are not budding. can the root pruning shock the plants and cause slow grow? same girls in rock wool, same room, are budding like crazy. this is my 2nd run with coco and my first run did the same thing. I waited for 5 week and only tiny hair. I end up chopping it. anyone here experience this before?

Root pluning isnt going to slow your budding down, look for light leaks or a faulty timer.
i use smart pots and theres root pruning and no il effect first hand.

Im sure there is not light leak. i check already. the same plant in rockwool are budding like crazy. its in the same room also. can cold temp when light off cause slow growth? one side of the room are where the intake are and its more cold on that side.

Hello. I have problem with starting seeds directly on coco. I started with soaking 2 seeds 24hours in ro water, they both opened and went directly into plagron coco ( less than 1cm deep with root down), after 4 days both seeds still didnt break ground and i knew smthing is wrong, i pulled them out and they have about 4 cm long tail but the seed didnt open. I didnt rinse the coco as i read on the internet plagron coco is ready to use. temps were about 70F with a 18W cfl ( just for start)

i have a succesfull coco grow of 2 plants from clones, but doing first time from seeds.

I dont care if i throw these 2 seeds away just want to know what i did wrong

55-60 as a low is sub-optimal, especially for a Sativa dominant (not sure what strain this is), but it should not completely affect the plants ability to flower.

Why not just put them in coco to start with? Also, is 4 days really soon enough to tell if there's a problem? I take it you pulled them out and examined them?

I just looked at the pic and it looks like you were impatient and overwatering.
