And it definitely cuts down on the bugs...
Would anyone be interested in participating in an auto grow thread?

Found that coco you recommended at my local B&M. $25 a bag so thats awesome.
Any insight on pot size? It's a 2x4x6.2ft tent. I was thinking 7gal, but now that I'm going with coco, is 5 a better bet? Or no bug deal either way?
Is fabric the best option or does it not matter?
I have been using botanicare, but am open to other nute lines, any thoughts there?
PS...if you get sick of my incessant questions, please feel free to tell me to go do my own research and decide whats best for myself...and I'll take the hint...Hahaha

Coco does not need the same as soil. By going 2 gal you can water morr often simulating hydro and explode in growth. Even smaller as 1/2 gal can grow monsters in coco if you keep up the feeding. Size depends how disiplined you are in watering. I wouldn't use bigger than 3 gal though cause itll be a waste of coco.

This was version 1. Right from their site calculator. 1st number is grams per gal. 2nd and 3rd were ec or whatever cause i don't do that shit.

Yeah, but they also grow in soil under hps. Another member on AFN got a huge o e in DWC as well. Enjoy her cause she has a super good sleep/medical rep by the ones that grow her there.

So I was planning on putting these outside but now I am worried that is a bad decision. All my other outdoor plants have been chewed up so more than others... The northern cheese haze has already started flowering. The temps I am sure are warmer than is optimal... That is probably why it is already flowering... The RQS Diesel looks pretty good... Thinking of just leaving both of these inside for the rest of the grow... 
I don't expect to get much off of these guys. But I can only smoke once every month maybe twice... So I just need enough to try some different strains. Of course I had dreams of pulling 4-6 oz off each plant but if I even get 1/2 oz that would be more than enough. I have some bigger photos outside that will give me some good yields.

So I recently bought everything I needed to try growing indoors using Coco and dry organic amendments... But I don't know if I want to mess with ph ing my water. I am a little over 7 and I have read I need to be between 6.5-6.8... so now I am thinking of using a more "Mephisto" method and using roots organic green light with great lakes water only soil on the bottom of the pots...

Where did you read 6.5 to 6.8? Tjat is definatley soil ph NOT for coco. Coco is a form of hydro. 5.8-6.2 is for this.

Well I still want to give Coco a try... But now I'm thinking I might get a few indoor grows under my belt with the light soil mix over the super soil first. I have only grown from start to finish indoors once and I wouldn't consider it a huge success. It was a few purple Ryder plants yielding maybe 1/2 oz total and you had to smoke an eighth to get high. The couple autos I posted above were not intended to be indoors start to finish... I feel a successful grow indoors for me would be maybe 3 autos in my 2x4 tent with a finished yield in the 1.5-2 oz per plant... I will be using a 260 watt HLG V2 quantum board light. If I can start getting an ounce or 2 off my autos in soil... I'd like to try in coco
