I’m using the gro buckets with coco loco, and this is truly lazy person growing. Exactly what I wanted. All I’m doing is providing the nutrients, and ph’ing the solution to 6.0. Fill the tube until the float hits the top. Much better than soil, and I’m not having to constantly water like I did with coco in the past. No gnats from the soil since I’m using coco. No top watering either. So far…..so good with these GroBuckets and CocoLoco. (Plus the Lucas Formula for GH Flora nutrients. Im using 5ml of Flora micro and 10ml Of Flora Bloom which is a light version of the formula. Being an enclosed feeding system, I’m hesitant to fully feed at 8ml Micro and 16ml Bloom)
I’m really enjoying these Gro Buckets.
All water is provided by the reservoir in the base…..I am not top watering at all.
Daily Updates:
Saturday, moved the plants from two 2x2 tents into one 2x4 tent. Now under a 300 watt lamp in a 2x4.
Monday: noticed a high VPD reading of 1.5. Probably stressing the plants at 80 degrees and 48 percent humidity. I will add a humidifier tomorrow to bring the VPD down.
Thursday: seeing rust spots on leaves that appear to be a deficiency. Increasing bloom nutrients.
@yan402, thank you! I’m not real happy with these crunchy leaves, but the buds are looking good. I think she would have benefitted from a flush if it were possible in these GroBuckets.
