Interesting about fertigation schedules in hydroponic media, coco or rockwool. Seems over-watering is pretty much impossible. I'm still doing 10 mins every 4 hours with all rockwool, and the plants seem to love it. I thought I might drown them. Crossing the boundary to DWC. Watched YouTube things of commercial tomato growers who use rockwool starters placed in 4" rockwool cubes, then placed on buckets with only perlite, that they recycle for years. Fun stuff.
Thanks Dab. I like the idea of only one gallon of coco, might try it next grow.
That's if your running a dark period which is against the 420autoflower bylaws No problem yeah it's really hard to over water in coco and small containers I don't know much if anything about rock wool and watering. I still work my way slowly to max fertgations first 2-3 weeks is once a day max then once I put them on automatic feeds I start with 2 and add fertagtions as needed. 1 gallon is about as small as I'd go I've done it with solo cups but yeilds aren't there. I typically I do 2-3 gallons this was the first time in 1 gallons and I'm really happy with the results. I do believe the bigger pots and or stacking like 420 does increases yields my biggest plant have been in 3 gallons.
The reason for a 2 hour morning waiting period before the first irrigation is so the special nutrients that the plant has asked the microbes to make overnight have time to be absorbed by the root system before they are washed away. At night the roots exude chemicals that stimulate the Microbiome to produce elements the plant wants. Yes there is a very active biome even in DWC.
