wen u can would u sent me the diameter of a 6 litre airpot matey il see how much diffrence compared to the 11 litre wilma pots,,coz a wilma with airpots will be fucking mental lol




hmmm,, so basically a sortov deep potting tray with your pots ontop and u just fed the tray and the plants sucekd it up,,,,wen u put it the way u just did with the roots searching out the feed,, yeh it does make sence same theory of feeding to let the roots work but diffrent method
A 8pot wilma with airpots and coco and filled with exo and pyscho will be nice m8 ur get a good yield, how much light u got?

Oh an drags ive seen peeps bottom feed in coco with no probs but i wouldnt leave old nutes(run off) in your trays cos the point in waterin till run off is to wash out old nutes an replace with fresh the old nutes can corse you probs im not sure what but thats what i was told. i always top feed till runoff mate.

Drags dusnt and has roots coming out the bottom everywhere yes drags? That's why u say about bottom feedind no?

I always put pebbles in and don't have roots out the bottom, I like to feed often and I like calmag.

My coco grow was looking healthy as fuck until I cut all nutes for ripen then got lots of yellowing but I believe the lack of nitrogen at the end improves the flavour.

Ripen is the shit!!!

cheers mate, what I wrote out was just part of the routine they had 2 flushes through the cycle one at the beginning of veg due to a dodgy nute bottle and a very mild one just before going into flower but that had a seriously diluted nute mix in it.
I always water til I get run off aswell and did in the coco at the beginning but like you said they need watering daily in 6L air pots and filling the tray I found I could leave it for an extra day sometimes, I;m thinking the ph'd water might have played a part in keeping them as healthy as they were, as I started that way and kept with it til the end with the only exception of some times top feeding and others filling the tray,

I think roots would still grow from the bottom with pebbles in if you leave water in you trays the little space from base of the pot to the deck is so the roots get airprooned before they can grow out with water in the trays they will just keep growin.

your coco girls looked mint mate. I never get yellowin so i dont think im flushin for long enough im gunna try a 2 week this time most ive done is a week gunna use just the batshit for the 2 weeks an just water last few see how that goes.

yeah no clay balls or extra in mine mate and the roots were matted at the bottom badly, looked very impressive, going to get those 2X4 trays on weds so will pick up 5, I'm going to use them instead of the large round drip trays because I can get more 6L airpots underneath the lights in them, was thinking if I were to go back to coco to just do the same as last time, was a good grow with a good yield and very easy just a cunting nusance checking them to see if they need watering every day,

Yeh mate a couple of flushers durin the grow is sound if needs be just make sure you use a week nute mix just to keep your micro life happy an buffers in check sayin that if your cocos not buffed may not need to mate what you use?
Old Las used to bottom feed with no probs he used to use old rags cut up, in the bottom of the pots to wik the water up. would probs stop them growin out everywhere to.
Id say the ph'in was very important in coco mate some would disagree but there the lucky fucks that tap waters sound mine comes out at around 7.6 if i add rhiz like in veg it goes up to like nearly 9 sometimes which is no good for ya plants once i stop usin it id probs get away with not ph'in but always do. an them coco peeps that dont ph an use rhiz bet they would get better results early on in veg if they did...................yes im talkin to you chedz! lol
