that coco is fairly nice, I thought it was really fine texture wise, and now use a chunkier type. just make sure you wash it well even if it says pre-washed. and provide calmag every watering that you are not giving it nutes (if nutes are onepart)

maybe do a led/cfl combo

and the drip sounds nice but not necessary if you can tend to them 5 min a day. i have my babies in a tray, and i fill the tray up like an inch and let them wick it up when I'm gone

peace and BOL
