Yep. I just left town for 6 days and have a reservoir filled with Jacks water to feed my coco plants. I have 100% peace of mind they’re just fine.
Doesn’t get more effortless than that.

Good morning Brother and sorry for the late response. You’ll really like coco and jacks, very simple combo, clean and no issues. @Borderryan22 covered one way to reconstitute the coco and canna is a top of the line coco. I’ve done it several ways… amended the coco with microbes, transplant then start my nutrients. All good results with any of these. Coco gives you the control and with the ability to feed every day to run off prevents almost all issues you’ve experienced with soil. I switched to auto pots and coco back in Feb/21 and haven’t looked back. You’ll dig coco but love coco and auto pots. Keep me tagged Brother 
Fox Farm makes a clean 70/30 coco as well, I’ve used coco bricks and always rinse those and reconstituting and check the TDS before nutrients and transplanting. My recipe is jacks321, silica and Billions microbes.

Exactly my setup right now. There was a bit of a learning curve but I’m pretty well dialed in and love it. Removes the requirement for daily watering by having a standing reservoir to work from.
Here’s my current journal.

I 2nd,3rd,4th or wherever we are. I’m still learning but coco, jacks and autopots are getting it done without much hassle. I use canna and expand it with about 3/4 strength jacks with a bump up on the cal-mag. Treat coco like hydro 5.8ph

I have taken a look at your journal. Looks great! One question, do you recommend the fabric pot auto pots? I know there are lots of benefits to the fabrics but I see the autos are also available in standard plastic. Thoughts?

Thank you, Pin! This is all good info to get me started.
You won’t regret the switch Brother, the auto pots bottom wick the nutrients mixed in the reservoir. When I run them in mediums like Coco Loco or Stonington Blend it PHd water in the res for several weeks… it really doesn’t get any simpler and allows a lot of hands off time all autos are plastic pots, I place my fabric pot inside these

Amazon was trying to trick me!
They are selling “auto pot fabric pot system” and it’s by a DIFFERENT manufacturer!!
Slippery bastards.

I run fabric pots without air domes. If you get the plastic pots you might want to consider using them

I have a bunch of fabric pots I was planning on using for my next grow until I discovered auto pots. So I do have them on hand!

Late to the party here but I agree Coco and Jacks is a great combo.
Since the formula does not change mixing the water and nutrients becomes easy after you dial in the amounts. Turns out with the standard 321 formula in my water source it lands on 5.8 ph every time.
So mixing it up takes about 5 minutes. Add part A and shake. Then I open the tent check out the ladies and look over everything. Then I go back and add Epsom shake a minute then part B.
Even if you have to adjust with pH Up/down you will soon find it only takes “X” number of drops and you wont need to check pH after you do it a few times.
This last grow I did 4 in one gallon fabric pots. Just harvested first one yesterday. Do not let the coco dry out. Thats the single most important difference. Water generously and every day. In some cases you may need to water twice a day if the plant is large and the pot small.
