I think you will see better results. Trust me, turning them on sooner is gonna a help your growth rate. Those regular Autopots are just so big, the roots don't get enough oxygen without AirdomesPerfect, thanks!
I always hand water for 30 days (because I don't have two sets of autopots), so I will turn on airdomes on day 15 as you said. This time I lowered growing medium by 1/3 and also perlite. Let's see what will happen...
Not 5-6 each. I would say 3oz per plant at this point. It is 36" x 20" x 5ft tall. They are in 3 QUART pots. I don't think they will get as tall as my Double Grapes did. Now those had a big flowering area. I just harvested one, 4ft tall. It will definitely yield 5-6 oz on it's own in a 3 QUART pot. I just updated that thread, peace slow.
Thanks, it is more work if you hand water...because they dry out faster. But that is the point, Coco plants like to be fed frequently. Autos don't need 4 gal pots. Use your Airdomes with those 7-8L pots a couple grows before going too low on pot size. I use these crazy small pots to turn over my plants faster. They grow faster than big pots, with Airdomes. But are more work if you don't do an automated system. Good luck, if you need help pm me. Peace, slow.
I would like to point something out to you tho. A large portion of the growers on here wind up taking their Autos plant WAY longer than the advertised or suggested grow cycle length. Most of those people had a slow veg cycle due to overwatering a small plant. Human error almost always. The overwatering combined with large pots slows down root growth and plants take longer to grow. Once they do grow, the big pots might eventually grow a big plant that takes 2-3 weeks extra to finish than it should. Big pots usually grow big plants. Big plants often have various Qualities of product on the same plant. Whereas a medium sized plant will yield a more consistent end product on the same plant. All dense, no waste, minimal garbage, easier trimming, and better over all quality/bag appeal.
