Calling out to Weezard for LED advice
Well, I haven't found anything all in one place, at least on this board.
I haven't germed in coco yet. Just transplanted into it from various stages of soil grows.
My preferred method is cloning in rapid rooters, so that's what I'll do, and just plant into coco (in a 20oz beer cup) soon as I see roots coming out of the RR -- same as I do with soil.
In reality, I'll betcha cloning (or germing) right in the coco will work just as well. Just haven't tried that yet-- the RR's have been foolproof for me and @~.32ea it ain't worth messin' with.
I go from the 20oz. cup to a 6" netpot, or:
20 oz cup > 1 gal nursery pot > 8" netpot.
Unfortunately, my 1 gal pots are a tad bigger than my 6" netpots, but that'd be a direct swap if I had the right sizes.
Weez showed me a cool trick: you use the cup (or pot) your plant is in to mold a cavity inside the bigger pot--just pack moist coco all around the cup, remove the cup, and the plant drops right into the new hole.
That's about all there is to it. I set up nute level in the res about half an inch below the the bottom of the netpot. The bubbles splash the coco and the moisture is quickly distributed evenly throughout the medium. I've accidentally submerged the bottom of the netpot, and I've let the nute level drop a couple of inches, too. Neither boo-boo caused a problem. (This stuff is too easy. :thumbsup
We used wicks into the res at first to make sure the coco got saturated, but it was unneccessary. And some of the wicks liked to grow bacteria, and we've both got warm res temps, so we both quit doin' dat.
My only concern at this point is if my tiny grow space will accommodate a DWC plant grown in coco its whole life. I may do a simple drip-to-waste in 3 gal coco pots just to keep the size under control. :thumbsup:Need advice wth plant problems?
