Haven't been on this site for quite a few years. I do owe respect to Jberry back in the day. Turned me into a total coconut! Currently doubling up and I'm getting buried in Coco. Thinking of going back to cubes. In particular I'm considering an auto doser and non bottled. Been searching for knowledge, but coming up short on good intelligence. Please let me know if you guys have seen threads that I can learn from. I will try and share with what knowledge I have in return. Thank you and amber triches your way!!
Are there any real advanced guys on here? Used to be.......

There are a lot of really knowledgeable people on here, and many threads I'm sure can learn from. Yes there are some that shouldn't be giving advice, but many that have great advice.

Maybe tell us about your plans, your space, your budget and your goals?
Hey Ttystikk,
I remember your name from when I used to frequent this site. Recall a thread when were you having a productive run going and the water company, or some utility, was ruining your world. Was running blumats I think?
I'm already set up running coco with H&G. 3 gallon pots with drippers drain to waste under double enders in sealed rooms burping every few hours.
I'm playing with the idea of 4x4 or 6x6 cubes in a flood and drain setup with a res being monitored with an auto dosing system. Getting a little tired of hauling truckloads of coco and constantly cleaning it up. Searching to see if there are any guys or threads that anyone on here may be aware of that I could possibly learn from. I've gotten invaluable knowledge here in the past.

How much yield from each plant in those 3 gallon buckets? I've gotten over 28oz per 5 gallon bucket. If you're getting less then maybe that's something to look at.
To minimise single use materials, consider RDWC with expanded clay pellets as a medium. The pellets can be washed and reused indefinitely, the water can be pumped rather than carried.
How big a grow is this? Just you or several people working it?

@jzs147 grows in (well a few diff things) but he does a 4 x 4 flood and drain where the whole tray is Clay balls. Plants directly into the balls.

I never had much luck planting straight into clay balls but then my containers were a lot smaller. Maybe the large volume of the table keeps things moist? This is interesting, though!
