Good evening monkeys! :pass:

I was doin 5 gallon coco pots. I would water minimally (a quart a day)with 1/4 strength nutes gradually stepping up the the strength over the first couple of weeks. Work your way out from about 4" center of the pot to the edges. Water till runoff after a couple of times to flush out some salts. @Frankthetank wrote a post in one of his threads that I pretty much followed.

If you get large plants they'll be very thirsty and you'll need to water more than one a day. A set up like @JP1 would be great if you're doin coco.

Have you looked into Earth Boxes? Several peeps using those. Seems pretty simple and straight forward. Think @Lil Dab was liking his?
Earthbox is next on the list to try!
 
Yeah that's kinda what I'm leaning towards. Just didn't wanna have to get in there and water multiple times a day but doesn't seem like it's like that coming from u guys.

I use seedling compost...... :headbang: ...it is probably the soil equivilent of coco...it has enough to get them growing..then you have to fert......:watering:...same water retention as soil.


I got tired of getting stumpies in universal compost coz so many companies over fert it now...

yes, seed composts are ideal potting mixes for beginning plants. If seedlings are put straight into a seed-growing mix, they will receive less fertiliser than multi purpose composts or general potting composts. This is ideal as it means that the delicate roots of your newly germinated seedlings are not damaged by the higher levels of fertiliser..... :headbang:
