It went into coco and is already growing well, as are all the rest of the new arrivals. I'm pretty stoked to see how the new strains do in the system!

What's so special about "my system" that half the other coco growers on RIU aren't already doing

The schedule I use for canna has been built over 20 years this system is used at one of the top concentrate companies in Colorado if not #1 and they made 170 million dollars in their first year of business.......this system works for every strain same feed for every plant and I can guarantee 2lbs a light (1000w) if co2 and environment stays good thru the run and I'm not talking strain specific tho there are some that will fall short the average in the room will stay up I've seen forum cookies pull 1.5 a light and gg4 pull 23lbs off 15 plants at 4 plants a light, granted these numbers can be skewed due to those rooms running 45k Watts and 180 plants some can get bigger and take up more light but you catch the drift. I can guarantee even the most novice grower will slay it with this system just gotta follow directions and know how much your plants weigh when they are dry so u know when to feedWhat's so special about "my system" that half the other coco growers on RIU aren't already doing

So is this something you are willing to share with the rest of us or top secret like @ttystikk 's cob contraption?
Will you be ditching the 5-11-26 in favor of canna?

I'm in week 7 started yesterday and my ppms are at 2800 when I feed right now and the only signs of burn are on the very tips just to show I'm pushing them just enough this is 9 different strains in here with 20 days to go
Just to show there is

Oh he is lol atleast till he gets it down and we deconstruct the canna line and figure it out fully I have a direct schedule of what to feed thru whole life cycle and I'm thinking of starting up a consultation business to help others who wanna learn an easy care free did I mention easy way of growing to pull guaranteed weight and quality I'll let his grow be my advertising lol

Dissent without offering an alternative is unhelpful.No. Just no.
Coco is the de facto standard in commercial facilities for a lot of very good reasons, including low cost, consistent performance and fault tolerance.
I'm done with RDWC because it's none of those things.
So what do you got?

Dissent? You have a fine system that merely needs to be dialed in. Coco can and will experience the same problems that you were experiencing with your RDWC.
From what I've actually seen it's used less than soil. Coco is popular with some but many have gone back to soil to keep it simple. I have seen coco discarded after a single run. I have also seen it rinsed and reused. There is no standard in Colorado's cannabis industry at all.
Stick with hydro, of course

1. I've been fucking with it for 5 years. I'm done.
2. Organic dispensaries run soil, but otherwise the majority of facilities use coco or similar, such as 'Tupur'. By the truckload. Yes, they throw it away, to comply with environmental regulations. That makes it a standard.
3. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. In my last run, one plant hit 2lbs, another didn't get 8 zips. THAT'S why commercial facilities gave up on RDWC a long time ago, because they can't build a business plan around inconsistent results. Neither can I.

And on my last run with the system I'm giving him my og hit 2lbs a light with no co2

@OneHitDone I'm running this system precisely because it's a proven and vetted system from a large commercial producer, used in several facilities with good and PREDICTABLE results.
I'm not a fanatic. This is growing, not Gospel. When someone offers me a system that works to the tune of a nine figure income statement, how am I not a moron if I refuse?

And tupur and Coco is used a lot in the industry in Colorado I've worked at multiple warehouses it's a majority of coco and runnung slabs for synthetic or running soil for organic. Coco gives me just as fast of growth with that buffer on the roots compared to If using straight roots in a bucket of water. U saying it needs to be dialed in after 5 years of using it shows its not a simple system especially how he does with multiple closed looped rdwc going at same time all in different life cycles all needing diff nutes and etc. He's not changing whole system he's giving me a rack to prove my point. And I will prove my point he should pull more than a gram a watt with those cob LEDs and that's his best run ever is a gram per watt on them. I bet we push it alot more and have better quality bud and more bud from it due to the plants living a stress free lifestyle

Coco is great. I have done coco and growth is good. I personally think the SIPs have won for me though. Extremely low maintenance w hydro type growth in organic living soil... So far I'm 4 weeks in flower and it just won't quit... Lol.
That's what I have for you instead of just coco...
Pros to good sized sips:
-long intervals between filling up rez.
-no nutrients to feed. (Dry ferts and amendments in soil)
-exceptional growth
-top soil drys out so gnats are gone
-supercharged w a simple airstone in rez

The 5 gallon pails full of Tupur will be sitting in the same 27 gallon tubs I used for RDWC. The runoff will collect in the tub and be accessible to the roots, helping to maximize water and nutrient uptake and thus yields.Coco is great. I have done coco and growth is good.
