I've been 90% successful by the wet paper towel method...I exhale fully into the ziplock before I seal it to up the CO2 and then I slide it under the fridge, the zip on top of a dry paper towel to insulate against the cold tile floor. The heat from the fridge compressor is just right. They usually pop within 24 hrs, 48 at most.

Sorry, I was feeling lazy... Here's what I use:
Amended Coco recipe:
Expand 1 brick of coco in 1 to 1-1/4 gallons water in a large bucket.
Mix the following into the expanded coco:
6 tablespoons each of Blood meal, Kelp meal and Bone meal
3 tablespoons each of Marine Cuisine and Bat Guano
½ cup lime
1 Package Mycos
6 cups of Earthworm casings
10 cups of Perlite
Mix everything together and let soil mixture rest for 5-7 days, stirring it thoroughly at least once each day. Plant your plants in the soil mix and add water when necessary. Thats it!
When you move from vegetation stage into the flower stage, you can top dress if desired with ½ cup each of bat guano and Marine Cuisine for additional nutrients.

Yep, I checked the root system on one that I just chopped. It was in a 10L airpot and the roots didn't even come close to filling that out. I'm sticking with 6L pots from now on.

Good day .. I started on 15L airpots, then to 10L then to 6L
im now using 6L with base insert higher effectively making it about 4L.. Still thinking about getting some 3L's
they seem to work really well, will check root system on this lot then decide. Only downside is watering pretty much everyday

You have a good point there, del. Hmm, maybe set each airpot inside a slightly larger plastic pot... I'm not ready to chuck my airpots yet!!
Has anyone ever gotten rootbound on 12/12fs?

Same reason I was also thinking about possibly switching to a slightly larger square pot, maybe 5L
I really can't water twice a day
even with just 3
I hate even watering every second day let alone everyday, twice a day would be torture.
The fact that my water is so bad I have to run it through a Brita filter first doesn't help matters either.
I need a watering assistant, my missus wasnt too happy when I asked her if she'd oblige

hardwater :/
ph over 8 out the tap and ppm's high too
can just tell its not great quality, tastes awful.
also i find when I ph the water out the tap it will sit at 6 then starts rising again
so instead I run through the filter, comes out at ph of 6 and stays at 6, I've wondered if I am wasting my time, but I'm worried if I change it may screw up my plants, kind of sticking with what works, but would like to not have to do it.
I've thought about getting an air pump and stone and just letting it sit in a bucket overnight, get all the chlorine out etc.. will probably still need to ph though
