Ive been growing a small skunk plant in 100% coco coir. I was just wonder when i go to transplant it into a 3 gal pot if i should mix some perlite in with it. Im getting good results now. I am just curious when the plant gets bigger am i gonna wish i had put some perlite in the mix. I havent beed doin this long but for real this coco seems to be the way speed. Its seems be growing faster than my hydro-set up (first time around tho). Love to get some input from peeps that use coco. :peace:

I do not use coco but have been interested. I would recommend transplanting in to 5 gallon pots. U will thank your self when ur not having to go out and get bigger pots because they got too big.Just my opinion

i have tried both pure coco and at present a mix with hydroton, both seemed to work well ,v.v who know his stuff reckons on it own ,but the roots go apeshit in it so maybe get the bigger pots:peace:

I love coco, I like to mix perlite or coco husk.

Take a look at my sweet god journal, my friend Mared uses it too.
 
i use perlite and vermiculite and a bit of sunshine mix with my coco and hydroton rocks in the bottom. pretty much impossible to over water. i added the ss mix because the coco almost seemed too wet when i got it
