looking good mate,

go hydro, but hand water.

if the pots are big enough, and you choose the right medium, then you will not have to water for at least every 3 days;

happy growing,

and welcome;

john,

ive been back and forth, guess i settled for "safe" option doing these organic.

Annoying thing is, the more i read up bout it, more unsure im getting.

To many freakin system and setups out there.... and way to many unknow sources.

So, please fill me in when u say "go hydro, but hand water". ;)

Would appreciate that big time. As much details/ info u will bother typing.

Tom (soon to go hydro)

Hey Tom!

Here's something John wrote a few time ago:

"
Coco husk
is very much like soil in its moisture retention.

Unlike soil, however, it is a hydroponic medium.

I like hybrid systems, that attempt to take the best from both;

With a soil less medium, one has much greater control over a number of variables that relate to plant health.

Coco and perlite mix is a soil less medium; so that Ph, EC can be optimized.

This, however, does not mean that you can not use organic nutrients exclusively, if you wish.

If you use this medium, then I would recommend that you water from the top to reduce any chance of salt build up.

and flush every month or so."

This is used in pots with drain-holes, and drain to waste.

Hand-watering because you should water by hand top-dressing and not dripper systems and not with a normal hydro drain-to-recycle system either.

Take care
