I don't know how far along you are in your grow but i can tell you I feed @6 times per day in a 1 gallon pot. I don't know how you would be able to keep up hand feeding especially in heavy flower with the 1 gallon pot.
hhhhmmmm maybe I f ed up....was using ffhf mixed with some cocco seemed fine....ran outta soil n said hey let's plant a few smallies in just cocco....hence the problems....so maybe what try and transplant into some seril
seedlings 3 dift 1gsl pots all just tiny littleins.....popped up n for a few weeks just looking at me as if there crying out for help
could I put the pots in a deep pan with a inch or two of water n let the water soak up into pots......just thinking how I can save my 3 special seeds or chalk it up as a lesson
I say transplant into five gal smart pots or cloth walmart bags. I keep seeing ppm talk about using one or two gal pots but that still sounds weird. It would be a fun experiment if someone haf some seeds they didnt care much about.
Do not transplant. It messes autos up. Run some thin nylon or cotton cord up through the bottom all the way up out of the top. Leave at least six inches of cord hanging from the bottom. Do three or four evenly spaced through out each pot. Trim the top wicks to about an inch above the coco. Sit the pots on risers of some type to keep them an inch or two above the bottom of a reservoir. You now have a passive wick system. Put about an inch of nutrient solution under the plants and let them go. Just do plain ph adjusted water every week or so. It will keep a toxic fertilizer salt build up from happening.
That's really what you want. Treat your Coco like Hydro and it will reward you. The more times you can feed the more you will be rewarded. Never let the medium dry out after roots take. Keep your ph5.6 for absorbtion and cal mag handy.
I keep my temps 77 lights on and 70 lights off and never have a problem
My plants are a light green. If they get dark green your ph is to high.
Hope I could help ya and if you have any ? just ask
I use 5 gallon fabric for vegged ones and 3gallon for autos/12/12 seed.
You can grow big plants in small pots with coco
