Seen a lot of people using these now days. Are they preferable over plastic?

Haven't ran any side by side vs plastic. I run 5 gal fabric pots and the dirt is a pain in the ads to get out of the pot after harvest. I like an though. I figured 1 gal fabric pots less likely to go root bound then 1 gal plastics in your SOG scenario.

the only problem with sog 1gals is the amount you have to water. currently watering over 30 pots daily is challenging. i think when I'm gonna start a scrog with coco in a couple weeks as my veg tent will become available an i have a few plants that will be re-vegged from the 18 Ive just put in. i would like to build a runoff table too. so i can water the monster without having to worry about getting the waste out. Ive got to say im very pleased with the outcome so far. going through the nutrients like no tomorrow but the plants seem to love it. Ive been expecting limitations on my overall yield as Ive yet to work out the kinks in coco but from what im seeing so far there wont be any compromise on quality.

I use a flood and drain table. I had a spare table sent so i just drilled holes in it so the run off waste drains into the reservoir. With 4 plants i only need to water every few weeks because the rez holds about 110 litres

Yes mate just put them in your usual pot then put them on the table and water by hand

No just hand watering. People do use flood to water them but i personally dont.

i will be. first harvest in 3 weeks and then every 2-3 weeks after that. but im not continuing it. currently watering 35pots daily with run off is a nightmare. taking me 2hours with a 5ltr sprayer to do them all.
this is my first bloom run with coco and im thinking of going back to scroging and taking all that ive learnt with coco into that.

i found it to be a forgiving strain that grows well with any style. the mother i kept for 6mnths to supply this grow was 1 of 3 seeds. i let it grow normal to start with upto maybe 10 nodes before cloning the top half. within a week it responded with some very bushy growth. Ive super cropped it, lst'd, chopped branches of here and there for clones and its always bounced right back at me. as stated before, the only thing Ive noticed different this time round is its sweet pine smell as apposed to the earthy pine smell. the only difference this time round is im coco and old timer organics so must be the nutrient line up.
page 1 - post 6 - image 3: that was the mother, you should see that there is massive branch's missing.
Ive been looking at RQS's Skunk Xl and there cheese fast flower.... but i keep having a glance over the special queen. Ive noticed a lot of there 'queen' strains seem to be there versions of the cross's between the normal strains.
I've seen your choccy 'kosher' kush journal. Ive heard some good tells of the 00 seed company, (uk based too)
... a friend grew the 'cheeseberry' and mentioned the chocolate kush to me, it was one of them ideas that just never happened. i don't know about you but when im seed shopping its like my 5yr old going into the pound-shop with a fiver. the first thing i wanted always gets substituted for something i like there and then.

Too bad thought your idea was kind of cool. Hard without automatic watering though totally understand...
