Hello everyone, I have recently started growing my first plant and have decided to use Coco coir as my medium. Are you guys having to water like every other day? I'm finding it needs more water the bigger it gets.
A question to Coco Coir users!

HI, im a month into my grow and i started in soil. I then put them into 3 and 1/2 gal. pots. Im useing coco and they grow a lot faster than im use to and needs more watering. Ive beeen a soil grower for over 20 years and just stuck with what i knew, but ill only use coco for now on. I have to spend a little more on nutes and water but the gain is worth it. I might set up a drip system next time and that should cut down on the extra work. I have 5, 8 ball kush, 1 sour desil , 1 pineapple x and a barney kush under my 600hps.

Yea that Coco seems to go through water quicker than I thought. Im growing a Colombian Gold x Northern Lights clone, Flowering now
This is one reason people often consider coco as hydroponics, not just because it isn't soil but because usually a system is involved, drip, ebb and flow etc.
I have used coco 4 times this year and also notice that it ends up getting watered a little more often than straight soil. Especially once they start taking off.
