I am hand watering right now as i transition my grow into tupur and [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] pots as the final homes for the plants. Maybe right now because I just transplanted a few days ago into it from a [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] in soil it's just going to take time for the roots to develop more hence the plant drink more and I will be needing and able to water more frequently?

Yes, if your plant/roots are healthy your water freqency will go up. However certain strains don't need large pots. Fast finishing strains like Sour Crack won't be around long enough to get massive roots/stalks.

I have not grown in Coco in over a year. And this is my first time with tupur. I figured the [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] pots were small enough to fit three to four in my 3x3's whether I was growing autos or photos I am simply trying to streamline the gear used across the grow. I have #1's I move seedlings or cuts to before the "3's as well. Slowly dialing things in just started in this spot in Jan/Feb of this year.

@slowandeasy aka "the coco connoisseur" lol thanks for the info, I'm definitely tuned in, but I may have to go soil route this run. Just got back from nursery with soil, well my perlite.

Day 7...drip stakes turned on. I am going to rerun the lines this week. I just wanted them hooked up because they were drying out fast. I just added those lines to the existing set up, good enough for a fee days.

For anyone who cares, I just bought some pressure compensating drip hose from Home Depot online only. It has Emitters every 6 inches that are pressure compensating. Supposedly never clog and supposedly water evenly along the whole run of line. So my plan is to use 1/4 Inch Tees and make a loop around each stem. It should eliminate the need for flow valves like I have at each drip stake now. I will have to toy around with the flood times tho. The tubing is really cheap, it is worth a shot. I will be using the hose on my Sour Stompers once they go into 2gal pots. I will make a bigger loop with 12 inches of tubing/2 Emitters per pot for the 2 gal pots. I got 100 foot of the line for $14, will be at store for pick up July 6-10th. I have the Tees, so it will only take a few min to make up 6 loops. I will rerun line at that time. Peace, slow
That sounds great. Do you have a link?
