So I want to try coco in my next grow and have read up on it. Which brand is best? Want to run a dtw system with hydro halos in 3 gal smart pots on a 2x2 tray in a sj dr90. What feeding schedule do I start with from seedling through flower? And prob a dum question but the rez will b underneath tray, how often do I change out the water in rez and put new nutes in? And what nute brands r good for coco? And how much runoff shld I expect? Distilled water ok for coco? Thanks.

If your looking for the best in coco i would go with canna coco and canna coco nutes.
stay simple but effective with canna a/b, cannazym, carboload and drip clean.

for pots #2 or #3 smart pots are choice...! Feed once a day but not much if any runoff,
roots go bonkers in semi dry coco but not dry. Once you see roots blasting through the
smart pot start feeding 2times but still feeding little bits of water.

i like to start bloom already feeding 3times a day and bit mid bloom be feeding 4times,
all the while only feeding just enough to keep the coco semi wet.

As for timing i use a titan digital cost 20bucks. Save yourself a ton of $ by not buying
halos and just run a 1/4 drip hose per smart pot. Place the drip line right at the base
of the plant.

for canna you can manage res changes in many ways but i do it like this.
mix 25gal and once its down to 10gal i mix up 15gal and add back to get 25gal.
no need to clean the res till the end.

Thanks for the help hellraizer I really appreciate it. As for nutes ill prob go with the canna like u suggested. I was going to try Advanced nutes sensi grow & bloom ab but from what ive seen on here not to many ppl use them w coco? And y not the halos? I liked the idea of just running 1/2" tubing for everything. Do halos suck? I saw pretty cheap prices on ebay and Amazon for the halos. Thanks

The res tanks are made by tray hugger there not cheap! And the valve is a standard 1/2 in made by i think rain drip.
