I've always done various degrees of amber. Best one was harvested with the first sign of some amber ones

We need to design like one of them old laundry carts as a weed plant store and go. Have a trellis. Fully mobile
I’m literally on the Zon shopping for a large lazy Susan that I can modify to make larger 
I’m wondering if a 20” one can take a 48” circle of plywood and some posts on it. SIP would go in the middle for a single plant to fill a 4x4

I built a bunch of them a few years ago. I would just look for the rotating base. Then you can make it how you want it.I’m literally on the Zon shopping for a large lazy Susan that I can modify to make larger

I'm wondering whether adding Vermiculite instead of Perlite to my coco will prevent it drying out/watering frequency
Any experience? @Bill284 @Skunksta @Greenvein @Keffka @Jon et al

Vermiculite will definitely hold more water than perlite will. It’s one of the selling points for choosing it over perlite. If drying out is a concern I would recommend the vermiculite over the perlite. With that being said, you may still want to use a little perlite for a sprout just so it’s a little easier to cut through but that’s growers preference for seedling stuff.

That's what I'm thinking, yeah
I was thinking 2" of perlite then the vermiculite/coco mix in the final 10-15L cloth pot, then standing that in a 2" deep tray of fertigation like a kind of SIP?
I'm watering so frequently in flower, it's more like a manual flood & drain
I did something similar. I layered perlite in my drip tray then set the pot on top of it. It gets to a point where you don’t even want to water any more you’re doing it so often so I will just fill the drip tray up if needed. Or I’ll just top water until runoff and let it soak it’s runoff back up.
Flowering plants drove me to drip irrigation. Having to water every single day when the plants are taking up 80% of the space is such a pain in the butt I always think about whether or not I want to keep going. I imagine it’s even worse with coco.
It cost me around 75$ to get everything I needed for drip irrigation to cover 8 containers. You could probably do it cheaper if you bought the right stuff off the bat but I like to throw money away some times I guess lol

LOL - I have 2 dripper systems but they are both on the plot for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and aubergines
It was such a game changer. I went from despising watering and not planting anything extra, to planting 10x as much as normal because I setup irrigation.
Watering was my biggest time sink period. Nothing else in my life came close lol. Now I’m tending to the roses and landscaping the yard. It’s almost like a little extra freedom lol.

Never used it mate but sounds like some good advice.
If not for my drip setup feeding in flower would drive me nuts.
hose and reducer one off those drip feed kits from home bargains.
30l bucket and to be fancy a mixer/wave maker and pump.
All in £30 your looking at around 3-5 days feeding 4 ladies in full flower.
If you toms still need your current drip system still.

Beautiful buds buddy but what in the name of witchery is going on here I've never seen this before
I'm irrigated bud so never used it but seen it used by someone before and seen guys that only use pure Coco for this reason.

How do you have that center bamboo secured? Cool concept

It's just poked 2" into the coco; by weaving the string to opposites, it supports itself like a Maypole
Yeah, the GSC is looking great and smells divine, lovely to grow
