I figured it was coco although i saw perlite in the pic… i think. one easily assumes a soilles mix or an actual soil.
I’ve seen some growers do amazing things in smaller pot with coco and a feeding system and here you are growing some awesome and super healthy looking plants and you are handwatering?.. that’s what we call growing skills. Well done @DougDawson
That plant is a beast LOL

Thanks man. Yes, I mix in around 30% perlite and hand water. I have a watering system I bought some time back but never got around to hooking it up. I suppose I like to get up close with the plants every day, lol.

I also like hand feeding and watering. Hydro would bore me to death. :upside_down_face:

Yep. One of the reasons I grow perpetual is that I’d I didn’t have to do something all the time, my ADHD would kill all the plants!

I also handwater everything and I agree it forces you to handle every plant and get a feel for it’s wants and needs.
I may switch to coco at some point but old habits die hard.

I also hand water but only because I don’t have a watering system yet. The amount of time I spend watering by hand is silly but it does force me to inspect my plants. I’m still trying to decide how to automate watering so I’m open to suggestions. I am using HP Promix and Reefertilizer nutrients if anyone wants to make a suggestion.

I’m just starting a run of Larry OG, this time with a net. Plants are a little worst for the wear as they were crammed in with other plants while I waited for my flowering room to be free. While I can walk behind the frame for the netting self watering would make things so much easier.

Hey @FreeCanadianHugs you could take a look at SIPs or Octopots to help with you watering woes. Here is a link to the SIP thread CrunchBerries’Probiotic SIP Thread. Hope this helps!

Preaching to the choir. Now its not odd for me to micro dose nutes several times a day. One of the many things I love about coco. I like how I can push the envelope when feeding from low to extreme. Nute strength and frequency. “Tap In” on dialing that fucker in. @DougDawson has the touch. :100: :100: :100: :100:

It’s all I grow in. I like that it’s basically a blank slate. This way I have no excuses, when it’s messed up it’s all on me :slight_smile: I will be starting some autos in soil this year. I only started playing with it last year. This way I can drop some plants in the ground at the cottage and harvest them before the cold weather hits.

Yeah, when you can run more water through the plant, you can feed more. You get your cake and eat it too. Feed steady diet or Up/Down all around. It’s a no-brainer.

Thanks hun!!Appreciate it!
Was going to go back to DWC… thinking coco might be a better option…or a couple of both… what the hell, right?

I’d stick them all in a single tub bottom feed by hand mixing a 5 gallon pail and either a small transfer pump or dump the pail by hand .

I feed large veg plants 15/17 at a time in a single flood table .

I am going to have to Plus +1 Crunch’s comment.

SIP’s and Octopots make watering very easy and quick.

All you have to do on SIP’s is fill / Top Off the H²O reservoir and done. This gives you all kinds of extra time to: inspect/ admire your plants growth, Pop more beans, Smoke a Bowl, build another SIP, Start a Worm Bin, Smoke another bowl/Roll one. You get the point…

And you now have a place to toss your kitchen scraps, Egg Shells, Used Coffee grounds, etc… rather than tossing them in the trash…

It is really “Super Easy”…

I do have one warning however, "Once you plant into SIP’s/Octo pots you will never go back to regular pots… Ok, Maybe that is not 100% true as I still have a bunch of plants in Pots. I only have plants in pots though because I don’t have enough SIP’s for them all… :wink:.

I would definitely encourage everyone to check out Crunch’s thread…

P.S. It’s worth it…
