UK, southwest devon here! I am interested in knowing if anyone has been growing one or two plants in a small set up and been doing it years and never been caught????. I'd like to hear about your success, including highly recommended brands for carbon filters, scrubbers, noise reduction, and any other measures asides from keeping your business to yourself. I'm about to embark on this new journey and I do have concerns given its not tolerated. I want to do all that I can to be un-obvious

So excited to be back in the game. Went for Blue Dream, strawberry Pie, Orange sherbet and GSC. GSC got a bit dry when I was away and shrivelled a bit so starting another. Hope to harvest these for Xmas.

Oh they are 7, 6, and 5 days old.

Yeah wife made the labels haha. U tried airpots? Don’t get all that root circling so they find that new soil when transplanted so much quicker.
I havnt tried air pots i have fabrics tho...20200921_191901.jpg

So i have just potted 9 up into 16 ltrs and upon watering with fed at e.c 1.0 the run off was 3.6.....
I never new i was to wash the coco first to get the e.c to same as my tap water.
So i have just put 10ltrs through each plant of ph'd water and got the e.c down to 0.8
now in the morNing im gona do the same and get the e.c right down
Then do it a 3rd time with my required nutes and e.c

This is what im using bro, i will have a read through your journal at work....

I filled my new pots with it, planted the little ones up fed with 0.8-1.0 ec and the run off was 3.6 well max my meter would read... so i assumed i was to wash it down to my desired e.c

Worse thing you can do I over complicate things I’ve never used a metre for e.c or ph just let the coco do it’s thing use low doses of nutrients at first and build up slowly feed sparsely at first let coco dry out and once watering once every two days you can start to use nutrients more aggressively

From what i have Been reading there is no need to let the coco dry out as there is enough oxygen in there for it to be saturated all the time i will have a read your journal now so many mixed reviews on it like
cheers for sharing you knowledge m8 cos thats what i will need first hand input from experience

Let it dry out when first transplanting from smaller pots or from scratch ie jiffy pellets let the roots expand and work for food it is no good saturating them straight off else you’ll just set yourself back a week or so I like to see growth daily not weekly and the best way or doing that is taking it easy the first few waterings till roots have adjusted to new substrate
