All good @Andrexl, hope your grow is epicš
You can use anything even a plate, bowl. You should always suck up the runoff right after, a shop vac will be your best friend as soon as they stop drinking and it sits they will sit for a moment then start reabsorbing whatās in the base as they use whatās in the media, and that can cause many more issues, and excess water sitting in bases will also cause RH spikes as well
You donāt want them from Amazon. They carry them here in USA but $18
Hell Brother thank you,I Hope you kill It too friendā„ļø
How about like a large deep pie dish or takeout container, even a roasting tray! Like the disposable tinfoil kind you know? Just suggesting since youāre having bad luck finding the other stuff on Amazon, maybe more readily available to you?
@TopShelfTrees1 is that an issue with soil as well as coco?
In soil I Fed from bottom up,It worked better
But sitting in run off Is NO-NO even for soil
If you need it for aeration put a few sticks/dowels in an x across the top of your previous base , strong enough to hold the pots, voila. A couple bucks max
Sometimes when I go away for long periods of time I will deliberately put my plants in 2 inches of water so they survive.
Not positive as Iāve never ran soil myself. Sorry
You know how many grows Iāve seen destroyed by this method . Especially when I used to build grow rooms. Dozens and dozens, not to mention the people just coming for advice
Sorry for the silly question,but I am totally new to coco
No silly questions my friend, just a thirst for knowledge and a love for the plant, I can definitely feel you, I love soaking up info
I wouldnāt recommend it for an extended period of time but it works in a pinch
Same here Iāve learnt so much during the short time Iāve been on OG, awesome community
I use these
Most definitely. Itās the driving force of this place I feel. Knowledge. And so many knowledgeable people on OG willing to diagnose and help anyone. Itās what made me stick around (among a few other things) but you could quickly see it was different, drama is basically non existent and generosity is so abundant I believe we could turn SCROOGE himself on OG! Mad love for all of you!
Shipping doubled the price.
I buy them at my local grow shop. 15 minute drive.
Yeah, I think that screen shot shows a 6" saucer. Price also varies by size. I looked long and hard at the time, cheapest I could find.
