pro is as pro does. learn from ur mistakes & mistakes of others so u dont have to suffer much. you can learn alot just reading the noob sections. those guys be fucking up everything. my little cloner costs peanuts to run & maintain. water & few teaspoons of worm poop & pinch of mycos & a touch of roots excel. mix it up real good. never change or clean it either ! maybe once in a blue. & just a touch of RE. 1 or 2 ml. same bottle of RE been using 2 years. i just keep it in the fridge. swear on my garden that product is worth every penny $$$. for re-veg too. i hit them w/ roots excel & some high N fert. have a good success ratio w/ my re-vegez.

since your organic... switch to peat... you'll thank me later :bigjoint:...
its all about bacteria and fungi in organics...

here some info...

Pros for coco
less acidic
decomposes more slowly than peat moss
free of bacteria and most fungal spores
holds around 1000 times more air than soil
re-wets well from dry
pH - 5.5 to 6.5
Coco peat can be re-used up to three times
Cons for coco
may be contaminated with animal manure
is not fully decomposed when it arrives and will use up available nitrogen as it does so
Poorly sourced coco peat can have excess salts

other info

While Coco coir may be (and often is) used in a soil mix to assist in drainage in your base soil, it will often contain Trichoderma spores which research has shown to degrade Endomycorrhizae fungus.

Coco Coir holds a lower CeC (Cation Exchange Capacity) value than Sphagnum Peat. To read a brief explanation of CeC, go here - http://www.answers.com/Q/How_does_cation_exchange_capacity_affect_soil_fertiliy

Coconut coir does not contain Sulfur which explains why coir growers are always complaining about the lack of taste or punch - Sulfur is a main player in the creation of Secondary Metabolites which include Terpenes & Terpenoids specifically. THC falls into this category.


It's up to the gardener to get the facts and make his own educated decisions.

hahahahhahahahaha !

you're the shiz brother beemo. was reading up on that last night. cant do a strict peat. i love coco. i love they way its shipped to me. four 5k blocks in one box. its fab. safe. and discrete. maybe mix the two? im still trying to figure out what CeC means in lay terms. ill check that link for sure.

i agree on sulfur. yes i do. w/ mag as a player too.

a solution i read was gypsum. which i got in my auction cart right now.

snatched some cottenseed meal too. its for acid loving plants. and a nice way to add N to my mix. im very excited about my switch. re-tooling is challenging. hate spending $ on shit when i got a shed i had to build (2 reallly) for all this gear. dont know how im getting all this to MI. no way im driving w/ a lab in a box truck.

made my mix last night. i found bottom of my coco tub the worst smell. need to figure out a way to rotate. looks like a 3 trash can set up maybe. with a 27 gal tote for hydration & basic mixing. i use a concrete mix tray to do it up. i like 9 gals at a time. it 3 trips to the can. but my mix is tight. well incorporated. still learning. my veg plants though. not even a cooked mix and they look bomb digitty.

i need a tub for the char too. fucking nuts. i know itll be worth it once im set up.

i got bottles to use up too. imma run some SOG this spring & summer.

my nookies cut is the rage.
flav. potent. sexy. need to see it in a full basement setting :-)

.
bio char easy... just get some organic lump charcoal... run over it a few times with your car :mrgreen: or crush it...
put in a 5 gall bucket with water and some organic tomato fert. just set it and forget it...

im stocked up on everything except another fat batch of worms. might need another 30lb of casting to hold me. that's hot. i been recycling my coco ever since i stopped growing like esko. just mixed in the last 10gals of rockwool cubes i was using for sog on tables. i look back at hydro like so stupid. its was a wasteful adventure. fun. but nothing as easy as organy. im a convenience type o guy. i like this method for the recycle, the simplicity once set up, & how i make less footprint in the city. my expose is limited to very little once the worms start eating my leaves up. i think about everything i do. even trash.

Very true and a real reason I hit my coco ladies with Epson salt all the way through till the end, far more stinky and potent herd from coco... I'm still love my hydro with organic supplementation at times... :)
