The whole point of coco is it is hydro which is why I water daily. It makes a huge difference in yeilds.

Awesome information! I've watched a lot of your videos on YouTube, love the friendly information. The one thing I'm a bit curious about is if you mix your Coco with Perlite (or something else?) I noticed you mentioned an experiment in Hempy buckets, but normally do you use perlite to lighten your Coco?
EDIT: Also you say you only need CalMag with RO water? I was under the assumption that Coco lacked Calcium and Magnesium that are naturally present in the -soil- and that it has nothing to do with the water you use? Although I get that a good well would produce some natural good stuff, etc. For the record I have crappy city water so I'll have to get an RO system anyway, just curious.

This is how I make free super soil for growing outside. Really cool trick.

I use RO water because it stays more PH stable, doesn't rise or drip in PH as quickly as well or tap water. However, I finished some Sour Diesels that I used well water for. I still use 1mL of calmag plus per gallons of water. I wouldn't do that if I were growing in soil.
Coco seems to need added calmag. It has something to do with it leaching? I forget the science behind it. I think too much phosphorus or something in coco.
All I know is that I have tried a grow with not using Calmag plus and the plants started to suffer after only about two weeks. If I use calmag plus, only 1mL per gallon, and all goes well. Be sure to use a balanced nutrient like Flora Nova Bloom, though.

Autopots: It is a new system I am using with coco. Absolutely awesome so far. It auto feeds for you, using gravity. No electronics, no pumps, etc. Look at how much the autoflowers grew in such a short time.

I use 5 gallons buckets and 2x4 flood tray to catch the run off... How much water should I feed each bucket? I've been filling up 4 gallons and giving each pot 1 gallon each... ph 6.0 and around 550 -600ppm also using flora series... great stuff !! ... also just a tip go to fred meyer pharmacy and ask for free measuring spoons and drippers they work great for mixing nutes and Ph liquids ( BEST OF ALL THEY ARE FREE )

Ch33b, I water until I get run off. If they are in flower, then 1 gallon is probably about right.

I started feeding them three teaspons after autos were five days old. Then they really exploded in growth.
