Troubleshooting

I have been doing some reading on another forum and found an interesting thread.

There are growers using 1-2 gallon pots with coco and getting huge yields. They claim to use an auto watering of some sort that is 20sec on and 1 hr off. They claim that it wets the coco completely and then because the pot is so small that it dries about 50%. The idea was the top root section dries and the bottom stays moist. They also have folks watering 2x per day. Lots of nutes and water being constantly pulled in because there isnt water just sitting in the soil. Thoughts?

I have some 2 gal fabric pots coming and thinking about giving it a shot. I like looking at my plants a couple times a day anyway.

After doing a bit more research…maybe some sort of hydroponic ebb and flo method using coco as the grow medium? Anybody?

That is exactly what you are describing as people have used the same method with rock wool and lecca/hydroton for years Ebb&flow
