No, but have heard good things. I would try it over shitty Coco brands. My old roommate got some White pot mites from a brick of Botonicare. The bucket he hydrated it in had mites crawling in it! Pay for quality medium, it is a VERY MINOR expense. You don't need 10-20 gallons of Coco.

I currently mix my own dirt brother trust me I don't skimp on media Cool I'm going to give it a try then

Well shit I just ordered 10 3 gallon pots tonight LOL

It's ok. Elevation helps to dry them out more often, otherwise the bottoms stay wetter.

Cool, Those are the Halos I use I believe. $6 at my store, but he is cheaper than everyone else around for me.

I sent an email to see if I can cancel hopefully I can. I can get the #3's at the nursery for $0.69 each................

Do you fill the bottoms with grow rocks or hydroton for better drainage?

With my plastic pots and soil I use these on the bottom to help with drainage:

My plastic pots have holes or slits all on the sides. I don't use anything but 100% Coco. I never really use huge pots, so drainage is never an issue. I am not sure how Tuper drains compared to Char Coir. Everyones needs and opinions are different. My brother prefers fabric over plastic. But he handwaters, they stay moist longer than plastic.

Good Coco has tons of air in it. No drainage issues. Tuper, not sure..plus your environment is different than mine or my brothers or anyone else.

It's all good, I appreciate the help. I will put a layer of these rocks on the bottom like my plastic pots in veg with soil, the plants are beautiful so it's working lol........and they dry quicker than the ones without stones so should do well for "multiple feeds" a day here. Getting the shopping cart ready on amazon lol, do you think if I expanded later the same pump would run 6-8 plants? This would allow me just one res for both tents and REALLY simplify my watering............

Perfect brother! Use the rocks and yes the pump will be perfect. I feed a whole bunch of plants with that pump, plenty powerful. And I have many Black snap lid reservoirs from Walmart/Meijers for $12 bucks or so. I buy an extra for easy res swapping. Just to keep clean once in a while. I use an pump or airstone to keep water circulated and fresher
