Brand spankin new autopots! This is my second indoor grow. I am using coco50%/perlite50% with 1” clay pebbles at bottom around and over an air dome. This system has a 12gallon res. It will be outside 3x3 tent. I am going to squeeze 4 plants in here. I’ve never used coco before so I got canna coco professional plus which is buffered and washed alone with their nutrient line just for coco. I’m told it’s easy. I’ll be the judge if that when I harvest.
Now from what the guy at the store (NE Hydropinics) told me, I just mix perlite/coco 50/50 and top water fir 10-14 days till roots have a chance to develope. That’s when I’ll turn the air on too. I’ll be using a Hanna tds meter with an apera PH pen.
Like I said I’ve never used anything but soil to grow. I was going to mix a nutrient solution of both parts till it reached about 500ppm on Hanna meter at the beginning and see how they respond. Should I full res all the way up? Or should I just add a couple gallons worth? 4 plants btw only in solo cups right now.
