Gday #OG !
Been almost two decades, but I have returned. Don’t see too many familiar handles on the board but I’m sure some of you remain.
I haven’t grown indoors since early 2000s.
This is my first crack at it since Canadian Prohibition 2.0
480watt Monsterboard 3000k led light
10gal coco/perlite 70/30 mix
Advanced Nutrients Grow/Micro/Bloom will be fed to the 5 Sugarbreath and 1 Sweeties girls.
And two decades later you start with coco? 
Tough guy! 
Looks like a good start, you will need sooner or later some plastic trays below those pots. Welcome back and good luck with your grow, I’ll be following it … 
Aye George, I plan to lay poly on the floor and up the baseboards, and trays under the pots aswell. I sort of put the room together over the last couple days and picked up my cuttings late last night 
. I’ve only ever grown ebb&flow tables indoors. A lot has changed since I stepped away and I want to embrace everything i dont know. I thought coco would be an easy way to get me growing and dial in some parts of my setup before I decide what to build from here.
Nice clean set up : )
You like big pots right from the start ?
Whole new concept for me growing in pots indoors, I was thinking since I’m hand watering i can just water as needed . Not sure I understand the use in transplanting from smaller pots with this small size a grow. Input welcome =D
I think it gives you more control over watering and feedin etc and things are easier to correct also : )
Welcome back! I was on the old OG for the last few years before the shut down. It’s a whole new world with growing now! I just got back in after 12-15 years, a ton a changed fir sure, but at the end, it’s still the same gardening basics.
Well, I can’t remember if it was ifish who said that your plant size and structure is equivalent to your root mass, so it is important to have a good root structure.
I always look for the roots to fill the pot prior to transplanting it. I start with these ones, it is easier to see when they need a bigger pot and you can stick them directly in soil:
I will transplant it to 1 gallon fabric pot (roots are air pruned and they are much easier to up pot) and then to 3 gallon before flipping.
I think starting with bigger pots is just for autos so they don’t stress while transplanting them, with big pots the root will go down searching for water, no horizontal grow.
I water in circles around and ahead the stem so they roots grow horizontally looking for humidity, in soil it is easier as it’s been said, coco is tricky, that’s why i wished you good luck …
Hey @FreedomFleur! Welcome to Over Grow 2.0!
That sounds like an Ottawa Valley G’day to me brother!
Looks like you are off to a great start! I’ll pull up a chair for the show.
Cheers

Still waiting on my trays from Amazon, decided to build a sub floor and an automated watering system. Building the diy hydro halos today. Been working on a little training and stretching program with the ladies.
Be back soon
Now that’s thinking out side the box! 
I’ll bet the designer of those couplings never considered an application like that.
Cheers

Looking great so far, try next time with one gallon root pouches from the beginning and you will avoid that root mess …
I like that watering system! Looking good!
