Yeah, you water by hand pretty much like you do with soil. Mine drink a litre of water every 2-3 days at the moment. But I lift all my pots up every day and if they feel light, I water them, try not to let them dry out 100% though. As I'm growing different strains from seed, the plants water/nutrient update is slightly different between strains and phenos. I also flush the pots through with 3-4 litres every week or so, just so there is plenty of run off. Don't want too much salt build up. Coco will dryout faster than soil though.couple questions, do you water coco like you would water a soil grow, by letting it get dry in between waterings, or is it more like a hempy watering schedule? Also, is it true that you can reuse your coco? If so that would really cut down on soil costs....
And yes, I have heard you can re-use coco and I intend to do so. I have also heard from two other coco growers that they get increased yields the 2nd use! As I understand it, this is becuase of increased 'benficial bacteria' in the medium from the previous use. As this is my first time using coco, I can't comment from personal experience yet, but I found this very interesting....you should check out this thread too......loads of useful info.....
