Coir isn't bad from what I see talk with GHB he the coco man.
Anybody hear from the Doob? hope he didn't break his bike.
Coco is bad ass. I switched shit up, and have been running with coco ALMOST exclusively since it came out. IMO It's hard to just keep doing the same thing, but I would say about 75% of my grows are and will continue to be in coco/perlite blend. From SOG to trees. Coco is awesome.
I'd love to try coco but I have to pass on it for a while
I just have been having ao much trouble with peat based and I'm just starting to get my watering schedules down. I know I know, I should know by now, but it's the one thing I can't grasp. I haven't watered my plants in promix in 2 weeks and they are happiest I've seen em in months, and I only used one solo cup of water. Turns out my 30ml of waterl 2x a week was killing my plants and I've finally come to terms with I'ma ffailure at growing in containers
much to learn still before I try something new that's for sure . I'm getting better a little though, here's my soil plants I'm trying to save and nourish back to health
Anytime you wanna get busy in coco bro, lemme know
I also grow in peat based mixes a lot over the years, in fact, rite now I have quite a few lights running a coco AND peat mix. Actually, a coco/peat/castings mix. Black gold moisture hold. It's alright, but yeah, def should let it dry out pretty good in between waterings, as much as you would a "regular" peat based, like promix.
Coco is much more forgiving in the watering dept. You def don't want to let it dry out as much as promix, but you absolutely can water more frequently then you can get away with in promix
( after a decent root system is established)
Only major thing, nutrient wise, to understand with the coco is it's unique cation exchange properties. Lemme know when your ready, seriously!
In fact, our hydro shop carries a very special coco blend just for me
And now allot of other heads up here rock it also.
I posted this for you in that other thread. But it's actually how I feel about coco:
