I got Botanicare's Aeration formula from clone through flower. Its 50/50 coco perlite with some other organics cut in. I run drip dtw in flower with separate res's for each table/strain.

Here we have a table of Gorilla Glue and a table of 24K Gold, 5 plants each, starting 3rd week of flower. Both are still stretching.

Running Gavita 750DE's x4 in a 12x9ft sealed room with 10ft ceilings.

I got cob LED over my veg E&F table, and now moving away from smart pots in this system due to this...

Too many roots is a nice problem to have but i'm having to double pot when transplanting up to 5gal for flower. Trying out the Rootmaker pots with the next run to keep this in check.

Switched to Coco 9 months ago and it's great to work with. Experimenting with pot size. For me anything over 2 gallons I don't care for anything larger than that. A 2 Gal will grow a large plant easily and can be watered many times a day. Fabric pots works the best for me also. Finding the right nutrients isn't hard but realize it is hydro and over feeding is easy to do. Flushing with pH water or very weak nutrients is a must-at least for me. I ran into all kinds of issues when I didn't do it enough. Feeding no stronger than 600ppm has proven to be an absolute winner. I use tap water [170ppm] and buy two different nutrients and alternate these weekly. I haven't used cal/mag since and have had no problems, none at all. I use straight coco. Adding perlite made them dry out too fast and they were always floppy in the pot
