How are you feeding them? That's way too much like hard work if you're hand feeding that many.

Yeah hand water, 2L each every 2-3 days.

I put a 40L tub in the bath, fill it with water and mix whatever feed they're having in it then PH it.
Fill a 12L builders bucket from the 40L to take in and water from, 3x job done.

Takes about 30 mins if I don't turn the plants.

Turning em can be a ball ache.

Sounds like a right fucking effort.
Always planned on doing coco after soil but tbh hydro sounds super fucking easy but with the merits come the downside of being a challenge to run multiple strains on the one tank...

If you are doing one strain it is good. It's easy as long as you stick to the rules and don't try to cut corners like not emptying the res. If you keep just topping it up with water and nutes whatever the plant doesn't want will remain in the water and keep building up until it becomes toxic. Oh yeah and get two pumps and run them together so if one fails the plants won't suffer. A failed pump in nft can destroy a crop in a few hours.

Or do soil and cut all the corners I want like using the same soil for God knows how mamy grows lol
I suppose a drip feed coco would be pretty banging.
When you did coco oscaroscar did you try drip feeding?

Nope I hand fed. I only do eight so it's not too bad. They get through two litres a day. If I water any less the pots get too dry and can fall over.
I get roughly five a plant in coco.
When I do nft I only do five or six plants but get 7.5-9 a plant.
I want at least forty from under two sixes. I've done better but if it's less I don't like it lol

Just popped all the bagseed I'd accumulated, only got an lsd at the moment, should get a couple of keepers out of fifty ish. Was going to purchase a few pick n mix, but I'm going on a blue cheese pheno hunt after this I think.
Good to see some bodhi on here, they're on my to do list, aiming to get myself 5 keepers for this time next year.
