Ya mine are not huge but they would hold a bit, I threw away all my small nursery pots when I moved indoors to hydro :(. I will probably go with 3 gal then, I'll see what I can scrape up locally if I switch, thanks!

They sell coco bricks that have been dehydrated, that you have to rehydrate to use.
Yes I know and the one grow store here charges a lot for a brick of botanicare. I'm trying to find a cheaper source and I may just keep what I got going, I'm looking at options

I asked how many 3 gallon pots I could fill with a brick, and they said like 5.

Well, this Blumat system has totally spiked the humidity levels in my tent. This will be a problem during Flower.

I really don’t want to have to use my DH again.

Also, I’m getting some pH swings here.

I used some Ph UP to get to where I needed, now it’s too high, can I add PH DOWN to the reservoir?

Plants seem to be literally thriving right now.

how big of plants are you trying to do and how many?
I’d like some 30” bushes, and right now I have 12 seedlings, that I’m expecting half males.

6 plants will be perfect. I topped them a week ago, and will top again in about another week.

You should move your reservoir out of the tent. That will help.

I have added down after up a few times with no seemingly adverse effects in my flood and drain. And I did the math on 50 litre bag of canna and it was 6-3 gal I think.
