yeah, i use an Arizer Solo as my portable vape. Ill have to check out Hoodlamb. the only reason I use my pump is because I feed every other day, and do drain to waste, so I have a couple gallons of water a day I have to move.
My 2nd Grow: 4x4 tent in garage, 7 seeds of Skunk

My neighbour runs some type of coco and he seems to use it for drainage almost. I think thats why my girls hold the water so well cause I've use FFOF/FFHF mixed with a good amount of perlite. I wouldn't mind a mix of coco but I dislike that fact I would be using more water. Not including that it dries out faster.
I'm trying to run another run in soil with Recipe 420 (Super soil?) mixed with some perlite. Trying to set up a auto grow with little to no maintenance besides filling up a reservoir drip system and draining out my tent.

My lack of being able to control the temps are messing with my entire grow I feel. Having too many in 5 gallon pots was a mistake after not looking into some the strains I picked. Average size ...or max size in my case of Skunk 3 getting so tall. I feel like growing in a scrog would even things out a bit more and increase my yields with all one strain.
I won't be growing a 2 Fast 2 Vast again. But Fast & Vast are looking great to me. With them being autos and you screw with the nutes and do too much you get what I've done to one of my plants being the tallest ones with the latest into flower out the entire grow. I wouldn't mind trying some more Pyramid Anesthesia and topping her and see what happens.
But I have options..
After this I'm planning a bit more about fitting them into my tent better, scrog maybe, drain table, super soil, gravity drip system, 2nd tent, and I'm hooked on autos so far. Watching others grow and look nice for photos but I'm extremely impatient...even if it is a few more weeks wait. But that's not the only reason.. being mold resistant and being able to handle a garage cold garage has worked in my best interests. I might be overthinking the roots on the floor of the tent maybe but I didn't want to take any chances if I didn't have too.
Overall I feel like my grow is lacking when I see a sea of bud on scrog grows.

@AngusMcKay check this out: https://www.rollitup.org/t/idiots-guide-to-coco-coir.48979/
I started reading that info and got to the part about having to not add anything while starting out and the draining is cool... Then the part about watering everyday!? Oh noooooo! Then the part about maybe more then once!?
People can devote so much time! I'm a check once a day to see progress, check soil weight every couple days and light waterings kind of guy. Just wish I had got the drip regulators I had seen to set up my system.

I totally understand, but the truth isthat in vegg i wateted once every 3 days,every two days in flower. If you used 5 gallon buckets should hqve no problem feeding every 3 days. Check out my plants at 45 days, i am going to run them as close to 70 days as possible. Coco coir is the best shit ever, in my opinion, drain to waste is amazing.
I would guess the guys watering more than once per day are either growing in very small containers, cause you can do that with coco or they have a shitload of time on their hands and extra money for all those nutes. Im growing in 3 gallon containers and my plants are about 4.5- 5 feet

Day 72 from seed 
2/15/16 Happy Valentine's Day ...gifts 
While out and about today with the family the wife wanted to stop at Lowes and pick some things up and got me these today.
Hoping I can use the wireless meter to keep a eye on things while they dry and cure. I was thinking of tossing the outdoor part of the pack in the jar with my buds? Guess we shall see.
Happy I got a 2 gallon sprayer that I hope to use as a watering can.

Besides that larf from a while back, nope.
You are able to see where I took the piece from on my day 71 photos. The first close up shot had the clip.
As a side note on the music I love how it goes with my video movement! Went well on the grow video before with some reggae beats. Youtube preset music ftw!

Those 2 fast 2 vast seem to live up to the name hey, look like they could use a lot more time far as their size is concerned. Not trying to insult your grow your doing a fuckin wicked job, maybe its the pics, but the buds look tiny for 70+ days, or am I just trippin out?

i'm running 4 autos in coco and they are in 5 gallon smart pots and 1 is in a 7 gallon. i HAVE to water them daily. getting to the point now damn near almost twice a day. you are right, coco is the best thing ever. watering daily isnt because of small pots, i think its plant dependant. these autos are over 4ft tall and drink a ton. yet last grow i had a bigger plant in a 3 gallon and i only had to water every other day....all the way through flower.

Nice, always good to see someone in COCO. I guess lately I have been having to water every day / every other day depending on the Humidity outside. if its super dry like 30% humidity, my pots start to dry out on top, but they don't look like they are under watered, I`m sure feeding every day would be the best thing, because they have been sucking the water up like crazy now that they are at day 50 of flower, but I am not always able to get in there and feed them, and it certainly does vary, some pots are still heavy after 48 hours, some are noticeably lighter. have you grown any Kushes in COCO? if so how did you yield? I only expect about 2 oz per plant, but am pushing them to ten weeks just to make sure I get the most out of them. 2oz per plant times 10 plants, 22 oz for my first tent grow would be sweetness. Kushes yield low, and the nugs look so good, cant wait to harvest.

angus - yes acutally i grew an auto kush. it was auto triangle kush from mephisto. i pulled 5.5z from her at 11 weeks from sprout. i also grew superb og from heavyweight and i think i got around 3. but there were issues and it was pulled at 7.5 weeks. way too soon for my taste.
i love coco. all the other types of mediums scare me. ha. my tents usually run in the high 20% humidity range and even then it is really plant dependent on what drinks the most or not. in a growth test (hps vs led) i can honestly say that the ones in hps drink a ton more and have a ton more growth.

Sickkk. Coco is the way to go. I run a dehuey in my tent and still the humidity holds at 45 all day and night. I would love some 20% rh. All other mediums scare me as well. Its been 36 hours since my last watering and im getting nervous!!!

Yes, you are correct for the "2 Fast 2 Vast".. Not the Fast & Vast. 2 different strains. I didn't read labels while germing.
2 Fast 2 Vast
Fast & Vast
The 2 Fast 2 Vast is lacking in the thickness but you can see how the bud goes up the entire stem.
