    Default How big should your pots be?

    I have lots of b&q black buckets and thinking of just drilling holes in them and using them as cheap pots at a quid each but are they too big for a coco with pebbles at the bottom mix?
    Will the roots reach that far down with hand watering?
    How often should I water with coco to get the roots right down?
    I’m doing a dwc grow right not but res changing is just a fking nuisance so want to go over to coco with pebbles.

    The roots will always find the bottom. Bigger the pot, the longer that takes.

    Try doing half of them without the clay pebbles to see if there's any difference.

    Instead of changing the entire dwc res, once a week replace 10% of the res with fresh nutes.

    I've done 20L hempy buckets. Feed every day and nothing happens. Yawn. Then, a couple of weeks after starting, the roots hit the bottom and they take off like crazy.
