Side by side. one is up against the wall to catch more of the reflection and the other is a couple inches away. But still close enough to over lap the light. i plan on rotating the plants around.

Have you ever rehydrate botanicare coco?
What coco do you use?

Nice on the lights.
I use the bagged Botanicare coco primarily for 2 gallon airpots.
I pot up direct out of bag.
For larger containers (5 gallon airpots) I like to use the compressed coco.
When rehydrating the bricked coco I do what I call my CREAM method.
I hydrate all the coco and only use the coco that floats/rises to the top.
I lose approximately 1/3 of a brick, but the skimmed coco will be light and airy.
Makes for killer roots.

Sounds good.
How much water to a brick you think?

I use a 27 gallon bin and use about 20 gallons of water that I ph to 5.8
I like to do 1/2 a brick at a time so it doesn't get too thick to stir.
The one thing that I like to do is get as much water out of the coco as possible.
I used to squeeze it by hand.. but that got old real fast.
Now I scoop the coco into a cloth grocery bag and stand on it.
Your roots will start way faster the less water in the coco to begin with.
All the stuff that doesn't float(high pith coco, sand, rocks) I recycle into my vegetable garden.

Shweet u know I'm subbed up! I'm using the brick botanical coco first time this round too.. Started all types of seed in it and all good. Was a b** getting the core to come apart tho lol had to stab it with a knife and then cut it like a steak..

Nice stains brother can't wait to see them budding up!

Gotta use warm water jayar. Then coco bricks just melt. Well the little ones do anyways.
Glad to have you here.
