up pot once or twice

[Smokey57]

My first time with coco. 80/20 coco/perlite. Coco A&B and calmag. My seedling are ready to be transplanted, in solo cups now. Roots are at bottom of cup and just starting their first wrap. Do I go into 1 gallon now and into 2 gallon air pots in two weeks or straight into 2 gallon now? They have 3 weeks of veg left before I flip to flower. I am concerned if i go to 2 gallon now they will be root-bound before they get into flower. Is being root-bound a problem in coco? They will veg under T5's and 600HPS for flower.

Really just need to do it from a clone to a 2gal, then to a 5-10 to flower. Unless you're growing huge trees then 15-30.

im new also to coco,i have them in one gallon and find it easy to keep them happy.they get watered every day.a big jump in container size will change the amount of food and water so be aware.
mine where extra cuttings so instead of tossing ,im playing in coco with them.

If they are in air pots, they shouldn't get root bound.

If youre planning on the 2 gallon pots being their final pot, just go right into them. For me, if my final pot if 5 gallons or more I'd do multiple transplants

If you only have 3 weeks to flip, I'd just put them into their final pot.

For the record, coco plants like tight quarters...if you're doing it right, they don't require grossly large pots to yield excellent results. A 1 gallon pot can easily produce 3' to 4' plants...

i just went straight to 2 gal air pots and it is working great.

Wow, sorry buddy, just saw this.
Two gallon air pots should be fine. Never used them but know folks that have been successful.
Your running DTW?

I am running DTW. scaled back my feeding to your recommendation and the runoff settled right out and is very stable now. Everything is looking great now, not that it was broke before, but even better now.

You mentioned the white rock looking stuff you used was ground glass. The only thing I can find that is close is gnat mix.

This isn't what you use is it?

Yes it is, it is a spun glass. Did not use it with this grow and so far no problems with Fking Fungal Gnats.

To bad it is so bulky. I end up paying more for freight than the bag of nix, when I can find it.

Another item hard to get in Canada.

Not sure how much you need, but you only cover the coco with less than a 1/2 inch.
You do no have a hydro shop anywhere near you, ask them to order it.

I need to cover 25 two gallon air pots. Plant shop doesn't have it, will just have to get them to order some.
