should I flip to flower or wait a bit

If you multifeed to run off they’ll do better. And even in that 1.5 gallon you’ll squeeze a qp.

Read those threads. They’ll blow your mind. Treat coco like hydro, not soil.

Feed them more to run off. You’ll get better results and better yield. How do you think guys get huge buds in a solo cup contest grow?

Great info in their I can’t believe this guys pulling 9-10 zips off 1 plant in a 1.7gal pot holy cow... well I got 4 white widow auto flowers I was planing on sticking in 3 gal hard pots of coco.... after reading that arrival I’m going with 2 gal pots of 70/30 coco their life span is 75-85 days from germination to harvest so many 1 gal pots would work
 
I think your running 150 watts in that 2x2? LED?

Should be ok. A space heater with thermostat is what I use. I run my rooms at 82.

Yeah man his system works. Interesting thread to watch it develop over many years of comments as you read it.

That really made me understand coco and how to utilize it properly.
 
There’s some pics is in this thread homie:

Setting up a hydroponic coco coir grow

if you want to use coco properly and multifeed it ( the best way to have the best results) i wouldnt exceed 5 gallons of coco .. over this you will not be able to get the proper dryback every morning before starting to water .. (5x 1 gal pots of pur coco i meant )

Thx bro I’ll look into it now... I have been looking at 4x4 flood tables but fuck me their expensive lol I’m just going to get some 10-25gal totes and have my plants on top and let them drain into the totes, when they fill up I’ll dump them down the slop drain... one thing I’ve been wondering is if my ro system will produce enough water to feed four 2 gal plants 5+times a day.
Out of curiosity how much water would you say you give your plants at a time in a single feed?

I would say I average 20L or 5 gallons a day for a 4 x 4. 9 feeds a day.

About half a liter per feed.

I have an RO system... cheap one from Amazon. It keeps up.

Half a liter per plant each Feed? Or half liter total for all your plants? I’m assuming your in 3 gal pots? Also how many pots are in your 4x4 sorry just wanna idea of what I should ballpark when I get an auto drip system up and running...I have some food grade 55 gal drums kicking around so I wouldn’t need to buy a res
 
Day 48 update 430 ppm in 350 out first cup of run off was 225 threw another 6 cups in ended with 5.6 ph and 350 ppm runoff also did some tucking

Half a litre approximately each plant. More in heavy veg. Less in late flower. But that’s average.

A seconds timer is needed.

2 gallon. I shoot for 20% run off. I use this in my vege room instead of chucking it. Works fine after a little ph down.

The warmer your room and the better air circulation the more your plants will drink.

If they drink fast they generally grow fast.
 
I have run 8 autos in a 4x4. Ended up culling out two as it was so packed. Tried 12 plants in a 9 x 5 and it was a packed mess of bud.

4 plants per 4 x 4 is the best balance. Easier to maintain, and with some training and bending it’s easy to pack.
 
im going to flip today defoliated her

I had a last min change I mind I dunker her ass in a tote of water and shook off as much coco as I could and threw her in a 5gal hempy bucket I’m going out any buying an auto mated halo feed system today so I don’t have to feed two tents and have hose laying all around so I’m just going to feed my auto flower tent with the feed system and keep my phenos in hempy buckets
 
If she survives the heavy defoliation I did on top of a soak in raw non ph Ed tap water and transplanted then she’s one tough bitch
