Ya mine are not huge but they would hold a bit, I threw away all my small nursery pots when I moved indoors to hydro

. I will probably go with 3 gal then, I'll see what I can scrape up locally if I switch, thanks!

They sell coco bricks that have been dehydrated, that you have to rehydrate to use.

Yes I know and the one grow store here charges a lot for a brick of botanicare. I'm trying to find a cheaper source and I may just keep what I got going, I'm looking at options

I asked how many 3 gallon pots I could fill with a brick, and they said like 5.

Well, this Blumat system has totally spiked the humidity levels in my tent. This will be a problem during Flower.

I really don’t want to have to use my DH again.

how big of plants are you trying to do and how many?

Also, I’m getting some pH swings here.

I used some Ph UP to get to where I needed, now it’s too high, can I add PH DOWN to the reservoir?

Plants seem to be literally thriving right now.

I’d like some 30” bushes, and right now I have 12 seedlings, that I’m expecting half males.

6 plants will be perfect. I topped them a week ago, and will top again in about another week.

You should move your reservoir out of the tent. That will help.

I have added down after up a few times with no seemingly adverse effects in my flood and drain. And I did the math on 50 litre bag of canna and it was 6-3 gal I think.

It’s in a sealed container, would that still be a factor?

i think 1 gal fabric pots would be plenty

Probably not, it's probably more to do with the surface area of media (more evaporation) if all else is the same, I would think.

You sure have some space. And you keep it clean!
Looking good

It only looks clean because you can't see the other half

I don't believe you. I think it's spotless throughout. I can tell that you don't have dirt on the floor.
Nice setup
