In such tiny pots - one must use coco to grow a plant at all as soil that small would be miniature baby plants.

Dont be discouraged mate I’m finding it great to be hounest.. i researched coco grows for around 3 months before I went to coco and I just thought the clay balls would give better filtration better airaction and yeah I was right..no issues so far I just make sure I get my 20/ waist still ..and they seem to be loving it

I used perlite forever so I think I’m addicted and also I figure I see it in DWC so much that it specifically for this.

Depends on your style really. You want big plants. Bigger pots. Also more time involved. You want quick output you run coco in small pots with multiple exxhanges. Soil is more forgiving. I mix soil and coco. Fabric pots no bigger than 2-3 gallon. I do not pull a pound a plant but neither do half the mfs claiming they do. I can average around 4oz off a 2-3 gallon pot with a 30 day veg n no real work.

But it seems like plants grow faster in soil than in coco. Or maybe just plants in bigger pots grow faster. In this tent I have 3 plants, all grown from fem’d seeds from the same mother and planted at the same time. The one growing in the large dirt pot is twice the size of the ones in small pots with coco. Ignore the tallest plant on the right, she is older.
