My bad... I kinda use mine like autopots... I'll let the water sit until it is pulled up into the plants... I feed my plants 3-5 times a day so they grow pretty fast and when the roots come through it's all good since the roots can get to the water...

3-5 times a day???? And I thought it was BAD to have the water just sit there

My medium is coco... I don't just let the water sit... Sometimes the runoff isn't that much and it evaporates... Which makes me wonder if there is no runoff,am I watering too much, not enough,or just right???

I used dinafem seeds and they say their stuff grows best in coco I just haven’t tried yet. May try it when I set up my reservoir

Take your time bro,imo,this is one of the easiest things to master... One things for sure is that you can make your own rules... Grow how you want... If you really want to learn,get a bunch of bag seed and go crazy!!! The best thing about that is you don't have to pay for the seeds if something goes wrong... And you definitely learn to have patience waiting to cee if they are male or female... I'm rambling...

DAMN!!! You sound just like me!!! Take my advice: NEVER BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW!!! Growing a lot of plants at one time to accumulate a lot of bud sounds good in your head,but when you put it into action,you will get overwhelmed by the jungle in front of you... And the plants suffer worse for it... One time I had so many plants in my 4x4 that I threw 12 away that i knew were absolute FIRE!!! And I still had too many!!!

Question. When you're watering multiple times a day, do you have to adjust your ph every time? I notice when I have left over feed water, the next day, the ph is off again. I only water mine once a day and the pots are still a little heavy the next day before watering.

I JUST GOT DONE WITH 12 IN MY 4x4!!! 2 ROGs,2 AVTs,2 FORUM STOMPERS,2 CQ X 24 CARAT,1 WW AUTO,1 SOUR CRACK,1 SKYWALKER X FRUITY PEBBLES,and 1 FORGOTTEN COOKIES!!! I WAS TAKING THEM OUT EVERYTIME I NEEDED TO WATER THEM... THEN I JUST DECIDED TO ALMOST RUN IT LIKE A HYDRO SET-UP CAUSE ONCE THE ROOTS GO OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE POT,I FILL UP MY FLOOD TRAY AND LEAVE IT UNTIL THE WATER IS EITHER SUCKED UP OR IT EVAPORATES... IF YOU GET YOURSELF A WATERING POT,MAKE SURE IT HAS AN EXTRA LONG SPOUT TO REACH ALL THE PLANTS...

I actually bought a fish tank water pump with plenty of hose to reach. Made my life so much easier. My growth is so close to the top of the pot, that it was impossible to water with a watering can. I always thought that you weren't supposed to let pots sit in run off, though ive been dumping my run off and have been curious if its recyclable. My run-off is usually only about 75 to 100 ppms less than what i put in, so it seems like it would be safe to re-use. Also my roots wont come out the bottom. The sides are covered though. I think the bottom of my fabric pots are too thick.
