Coco or Soil? What media is best for Autos?

I have always grown photos indoors and mainly used coco. I have always liked having different strains and I think Autos will make this job easier.

For those that have grown in these media, what do you like and why? I am thinking of changing to soil for ease of use. will I lose some crop?

I don't grow autos any more, but if I were to start up an auto grow it would be with coco and high frequency fertigation. And I would grow Homegrown Cannabis Co. Sunshine Pine Autos. The yield on those is crazy, we pulled about 1.5 pounds off each plant and they were LOADED with trichomes more than any plants I have ever grown. In the future I may grow another set just to extract trichs in bubble bags!

Coco will keep you safe from root rot, over watering, and it will put your plants on steroids!

Looks like I stay with Coco then. Thinking of an 8 litter pot.

I have never grown autos before. My tent is 80cm by 80cm. How many do you think I can fit in at a time?

I have Purple Lemonade Auto and Gorilla Cookies Auto from fastbuds coming. Should I plant one or two?
If they are long flowering, less, if they are fast (80days or less) more, id go up to 4 in that space but ive got friends who managed 6 in a 80x80cm tent

Gorilla cookies for sure! Great smoke. Purple lemonade smells great but the high was average I found.

Hard to say how many. Folk can grow some big plants in small amounts of coco. Personally I’d do 2 large or 4 smaller pots in that space
