I lurk a bunch and occasionally post some nonsense to a thread, but I use rollitup for the fantastic resource it really is. Thanks.
Anyway, I've always grown in soil but recently decided that I wanted to try my hand at growing in coco. I came up with a bunch of cuttings from a friend and kept the 22 plants I decided were worth my time, they are:
1- Tang
1- Cherry Pie
3- Maui Wowie
4- Black Diamond
4- Sweet Dreams
4- Purple Kush
5- Wreckage
I decided I wanted to run my plants in 1 Gal Smart Pots on a drip system because I liked the small footprint of the bags and wanted to work my way into hydroponics; the guy at the grow store looked at me like I had a third eye when I explained my plan. I was told "it isn't worth it unless you are using at least 3 Gal pots.", I refuse to believe this.
When I moved my clones from my cloning machine to dixie cups full of coco I never expected them to take off as well as they did considering the size of the media, I just made sure they were fed. After 3 weeks I felt they had to be moved into larger accommodations, they were given 1 Gal pots with a 70/30 coc/Growstones mixture; at first, they seemed so small in those pots. After a week in veg I tossed them into flower; they got bigger than I thought they would so I decided to run a drip system and add a third light into my room.
Should I have used 3 Gal pots? Should I not add an extra light and separate them 2 weeks into flower?
