Another reason to use coco coir rather than peat.
Coco takes the guesswork out of watering.
Even at full saturation, there's ample air available to the roots.
Other than delicate seedlings, it's virtually impossible to over-water using coco.

Same with the HP. go easy on the babys but once the plant has filled the pot you cant over water with good drainage under the pot it just runs right thur at some point.

That amount is about right. I do about 1 gallon water per 3 gal pot. You don't get crazy fast drying with the combo of HP plus fabric? Maybe I'll just start by running HP next grow and then a grow after try plastic pots. I've been using fabric for several years and I've always been curious about using plastic pots with holes drilled under and about halfway up. How soon into veg are you doing the one gallon? I'm about to flip in 2 days and I'm giving only 1.5 gal for all 3 3 gal plants as I was worried about over watering (hence the title lol). Its just tough to find that ideal balance of not too dry but also not overly wet eh.

You can overfeed and overwater ProMix HP way easier than Coco. It holds both water and nutrients a lot better than coco or coco/perlite.

Also, not all coco are the same coco :P I have used a lot of brands and by far the best brand there is would be Mother Earth IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. I'm running TheBucketCompany coco right now and it has horrible nutrient retention and drains way too freely and dries out way too fast. Not sure if its a higher coir fiber ratio or what. I know with Mother Earth I don't have as much PPMs in my runoff and it requires more water to get runoff compared to the bucket company's coco.

I have also used Canna coco, Fox Farms locococo and Royal Gold Tupur (not exactly coco) but mostly so..

Of all these brands and products definitely ME coco+perlite is the best.
