Bear - I just started my first grow about ten days ago. Total Noob - never grew before. The coco is fantastic! I bought three clones from an MMJ co-op and they are now up to about ten inches tall. I'm not quite sure how you count nodes LOL. One plant has 14 "sprouts" coming off the stem. Is that 14 nodes or seven?

Before I started the grow, I read eveything I could find on this site about growing in coco and the information here has been invaluable. It's really cool that the experienced growers take the time share their knowledge. Thank you, one and all!

Question: Bear - you said that the roots enjoy cool water. I thought I read that the water should be close to grow room temperature. How much cooler should the water be? My grow box gets up to about 82 F at the hottest part of the day. The water in my watering bucket is now 66 F. Is that too great a temperature difference? (I've been leaving a small watering bottle in the gow box so that it will be about the same temp as the plants.) I'm watering daily, so I'm wondering, if cool water is good for the roots/plants, should I water at the time of day when the box is at its hottest?
