im in the process of converting a dresser i have into a grow cab. its got decent height, but i think i could only fit 2-3 plants in there with a regularly used potting soil.
I was by the hydro shop and I asked the guy if you can grow in coco and use smaller pots and he said no.

Now ive seen people grow normal sized plants in quarter gallon gatorade bottles using coco. can someone please explain? I dont want huge ass 5 gallon containers filling all my space up.

I've never used coco, but i've seen plants grow from clone to harvest in regular soil using 16 oz (20oz cut down) pop bottles. this was a SOG cfl method, and the results were great. Weed is just that, a weed, and from what i've read, it can pretty much thrive in most situations. i'd say go ahead and try, the worst that can happen is you have to transplant, right?

I tried coco, didn't like it, I'd recommend potting soil ... I imagine the small pots you saw growing large plants, were hydroponically fed ...

Dude, coco is by far the best!! Holds 1000 times its weight in water. You can grow bigger plants in smaller pots. Coco has the best of both worlds, ease of soil with the growth rate of hydro.

its funny you say that reaper bc the hydro shop guy said the same thing, I just didnt remember.

They were definitely in pots. Ranging from 1L to 100L, look on the internet with a simple search. I guess i should have done that first, but I knew i had seen that and for some reason that guy misinformed me as he has before.

no image its actually "doctor bud" style, drbud at icmag utilizes nonhydro store items to grow with a bunch of cfls, and 16 oz pots from 20oz bottles cut down

wow !, that really sounds high-tech ! ... maybe this should be placed in the 'Advanced Techniques' category, with 'moon-planting' and 'computer cabinet' grows and, he's a 'Doctor'., no less
