Your chances of getting good information in a growshop is about as good finding an honest used car salesman.......

Go search coco grows under led & tell me what your honest stats are.

I 100% disagree. I used to use floro/Mh/Hps & never had to make adjustments for any of those lights.
At first i thought maybe we should take this discussion elsewhere, then it occurred, what better place then a white led thread.
Ive used several types of lighting. Led is the only one that requires such adjustments thus far.
The high k i. Coco never influenced my grows in a neg way before switching to white led. The majority of mine are enhanced so i have the problem less then when i use plain white.
Oh, i beg to differ. Its the majority of new led users that haven't yet figured it out that are suffering . Especially those in CoCo which is what the majority of big cultivars use it seams.
I did tell you that the local growstores hand out free Mag with every white led purchase right?
So what about growing in Peet or Pro-Mix?

Hmmmmm DWC bitches lol. Nothing like DWC with the right equipment. Chiller , PH autodoser, and RO. Growth in veg/stretch is next level. Plants are generally amazingly healthy. I like to PH to one side of scale and let it drift to the other. Autodoser is just a safety net.

"Are you the one that said to soak the new CoCo in 1700 ppm's of cal-mag for 24hrs before using it?"
That would be me that said to soak your new coco in 1,700 ppm Calmag before using... And you said seriously so I let it go, I have never had the issues I read others here posting about... I think that's why a lot of people refrain from offering advice here it get blow off like no knows anything about growing but the people visiting this site minute by minute..

I've I could afford all that fancy stuff, i could afford to just buy my weed.... lol! Personally, I hated DWC. Too noisy, power consuming, too many things that can break, and without that multi hundred dollar controller, FUSSY! I'll take a slighty smaller possible harvest in exchange for the simplicity of auto pots. Best growroom purchase I've made after Quantum Boards!

Yes and not conventional duck either. Peple been growing it here before Wally Duck came out with his hybrid. I crossed a clone of local with what's probably Wally's to freshen the local genetics. This is an F1 plant

And I love ducksfoot! And locally, ducksfoot sells better than any other weed! ( I don't sell )

Yeah I even advocate for a UPC battery backup on the air pumps. It is expensive to get it right for sure. Lowers the time in the garden if you are short on it.... Lol

I could really go for those on my next upgrade purchase how many gal/liter pots you use? Did you buy as a kit?

I am now growing in #2 pots in coco ( down a size from before ). I am starting to get used to coco. For the size plant I want, the #2 size pot seems to do well.

Another upgrade will be some far reds from HLG.

Same concept as the Autopot? As long as you have a tray or lines from the bottle/res to trays. Autopot reading I did says it does wet/dry cycles? What did I miss?

The only wet dry cycle the autopot does is in the tray itself, soon as its dry it opens the aqua valve and lets the tray fill. So the medium never gets dry.
Personally having tried them for a while I don't like the lack of root structure, most of the roots end up at the bottom third of the pot and not much encouragement for the roots to do otherwise.

Did you top feed at all? I just got autopots I was planning on top feeding with recharge or something similar every 2 weeks

I haven't used them for a few years but yeah to start with you have to top feed , or its recommended to do so.
Later on you can top feed when you like, I used to give them a kelp dose or a bit of extra Epsom top fed every so often.

@pop22 Is this an auto strain? I'm blown away by the three leaf grow!
