My first ever grow, which was actually a lot more successful than subsequent grows, I used 2L hempies with a hempy mix (70% perlite and 30% vermiculite). Plants GOT HUGEEEEEE... I let them stretch too much by not keeping lights close enough, and I didn't know how to train them. Each one had a bout 20g and one had a little more than an ounce. They needed water every day. I think 2L is a good idea because when it's smaller it's harder to overwater because the tiny buckets just don't hold that much anyways.

If I had it to do over again though I would use 100% perlite and water 1-2 times a day. I didn't like how much moisture coco and vermiculite hold. If you are prone to overwatering (I M THE OVERWATERING CHAMP OF THE UNIVERSE) I would reccomend a higher amount of perlite in the mix if not just 100%.

Good luck on whatever you decide ;D

Cheers for your info my friend. I LOVE coco and will never grow in anything else again...lol...once the roots are established it is ALMOST impossible to over water your plants, in full flower its best to fed them 3-8 times to run off in coco for best result :)
 
I call it "big problem" couse sometimes I out for about 3-4 days so for me its a problem. Normaly y I water/fed 1-2 times a day. Usually I dont take photo but I remember that i take few on hervest day so if I find it I will show. If you will grow i 2L soda bottle try LST, I were thinking about some auto sog but all autos without trening give ma 15-25g, trained plants give ma 40-50g plus some popcorn.

That would be great if you can find them my friend :) Do you have an idea of the size of the plants in square inch or square cm? I wanna calculate the amount of plants I can have in different stages in my closet :)

Its one of that AKR without traning. It was about 22-23 inch and about 18g plus some popcorn. I call it "fluffy bud pheno" but I must to say that it was one of the strongest pheno of AKR's I grow.
 
AKR is Afghan Kush Ryder, a frighteningly strong auto :)
