Are you saying hydro is faster than coco?

I dont fully agree ....?

Interested in your thoughts though

I’ve found coco and rock wool to be similar in speed just coco is nicer in my opinion.

Maybe in vegging, but I have better luck with automated Rockwool in my veg room.
In flower, things take as long as always. In veg, the recirculating girls run away from the coco ones.

If you only need 2 oz per month why do you do so many? You only need one on veg and one on flower and you’ll get what you require.

Some of them are old strains, keeper cuts, stuff like that I hunted and want to keep. Sometimes I won't run a strain for 1-2 years, but I keep them going in the veg tent. For the flower side I only flower 3 at a time, so I can harvest one plant every month.

I hear you.

How many times per day are you "feeding" you coco plants?

I feed hourly....so my growth rates are like my dwc girls. If I feed twice daily they definitely slow down a lot....

Yeah, I suspect my dehumidifier won't keep up with that.

If your growing in DWC vs coco, its actually the same thing if you think about it. One the plants sit in water and you have bubbles creating air pockets allowing roots to breath. With coco, you have coco holding onto water but also hollow parts in the medium holding onto air. You could argue Coco has Caution exchange but water does too. Just coco has a higher capacity. If you know how to use coco properly, you can treat it just like DWC IMO.

Coco and dwc/rdwc are all technically hydroponic methods, but during veg dwc/rdwc has always kicked coco's ass in my experience. The rate of growth during veg in rdwc is damn near alarming if you've got everything dialed in.

How many times were you feeding with coco?

Coco can be slower if you water once a day...but if you run it like dwc, watering very often...seems to be the same? Anyone else have experience with this? The downside to coco is I seem to have slowed growth when I transplant into a bigger pot.

Its possible. Admittedly I've only run coco a few times.
