Grow Mediums How do you water YOUR coco

I was experimenting Groff to see how big i could get them thats all mate and it just got out of hand and i just basicly gave up on them and let them do there thing mate but they would of been ok with training :peace:
 
Since this is my first go at using coco as a medium i was a bit freaked out that it would dry out quickly.
Boy was i wrong!!

Auto DTW system that i built, pump on for 15 minutes once a day.
That is enough to get some run off from the smaller plants and enough to keep the bigger ones searching for water.
Later on in bloom i am thinking they will get watered twice a day, 15 minutes each time.

So far so good and the plants are super healthy and growing so much faster than the soil ones i used to grow!

:peace:

Awesome. Coco was originally marketed for DTW/Flood type setups so makes sense. Is your setup on here? I would love to see it. I really want to go that route soon.

I have started a journal here: https://www.autoflower.org/f126/coco-adventures-21198.html
There are some pics of the set up on page 2, although i did not take any of the dripper set up.
I will add some of them soon!

Very simple to build system:
Slanted table with plastic corrugated sheeting to drain water to an angled gutter at the front of the table, waste bucket on the end.
Timer set to 15 minutes a day during veg to get slight run off.

:peace:
