Hey Derek, if you don't have an AutoPot I can send you an Airdome and you can handwater or set up a dripper system for dirt cheap. Biggest thing with Airdomes and Coco is that it will dry it out the coco and the roots much faster than without Airdome. So if you handwater, don't be shy. Water to runoff Everytime if possible and often once the roots are established well enough to turn the Airdome on.
It will be cool to see this side by side. You will be surprised how big plants in Coco can get. My Sour Stompers are about 5ft tall in 2gal pots. Flushing them now
