Hey Dude and Scotty, chemdank here from across the pond, first lets get the brown nosing out the way first. Have been listening to your great show for a couple of years now and can’t thank you guys and the crew for the great content. Makes those long commute to work that much easier. You guys are the shit. Any way just wanted to give you my two pennies worth( or cents) on the coco and flood and drain route. I use canna coco substrate with canna coco A & B and all canna supplements in a flood and drain table, and have done for about 18 months, I followed Vader OG from ocean grown on YouTube, he has a great channel and runs he’s whole grow/breeding op that way.If any one wants to grow this way it is worth going through his channel as he has many videos showing how in maintains hes grow and also he has some AMAs, which cover many questions. Hey scotty would like to run your recharge but those greedy people at Amazon want too much money for shipping to UK, but after listening to your show have been trying to find a microbe product to use here, I can and have been using Azos from xtream gardening, what do you think of that product? How can I get recharge without paying as much for shipping as the product itself? Can’t I become the UK recharge rep lol, I can sling that shit. Anyway I’m rambling like Scotty Real on too much coffee. Keep up the good work Take it easy Dude, and you Scotty Peace motherfuckers Chemdank
Canna coco and flood and drain? Hell yeah

I was searching for info on recirculating Canna Coco and ended up at VaderOG as well. He kills it with Canna Coco in flood and drain. His trick is go light on the EC/PPM which you can calculate on the Canna website using the “Light Feeding” schedule type. https://youtu.be/zCKtnieVO8g
I ran my last indoor grow this way and it worked out just fine (imagine Cap’n style, but using coco rather than rockwool croutons).
Vader is the shit. I love his fiber mat trick for the drain holes in his pots. Lets the nutes flow, while keeping the coco in the pot. Dude and Scotty gotta get him on the show.
I also follow VaderOG on Youtube and IG, love his videos and I am always impressed with his super clean looking grow rooms. If I ever get a space with that much head room (I am height limited in at my current setup), I will be trying a set up like his. I am kicking myself for missing his booth at the cannabis cup this year, I would really like some of his genetics.
The thing I would consider when talking about Recharge (or another microbe product) is how to add it. I would think maybe a once or twice a week hand water (with recharge) might be better than just adding to a rez for a flood table setup. That way, you are sure the microbes are getting exposed to more roots than if the plants are just bottom watered. Hopefully Scotty or The Dude can chime in on that. Growers love!
