Coco and dry amendments

One thing i find interesting though, is how obsessed with Cancuck people are here. Every time someone mentions amending coco based mediums they immediately start talking about Youtube, get all pissy and then mention Canuck. Most of the time these people didn't even know what or who Canuck was, and hadn't even watched youtube. They just head that coco was a good medium base.

There are numerous reasons someone would choose to use coco as a base for amendments, but canuck is living rent free in everyones head, and they immediately start making assumptions. It's bizarre.

I have seen this literally hundreds of times here. Question is "what should I amend my coco with" and the answer is immediately "another victim of Youtube" "get off youtube" "did you not see canucks plants?" or "somones been watching canuck". 99% of the time the Op is like "what medium is Canuck", or "who the fuck is Canuck".

Its fascinating to see.

I started with the coco loco cause a friend of mine was using it when I started. We’ve only been legal here since July. It’s been working for me so I’ve stayed with it because if it ain’t broke don’t fix it kinda thing.
I thought maybe switching to dry nutrients and such would make its easier since I wouldn’t have to mix it daily which is why I started asking questions. There are so many products, and so much varied information online.

I current grow in coco and plan to stay using coco for awhile, at least until I feel like I’ve had a perfect (ish) run from start to finish. I currently use GH flora trio and calimag. I’m looking for recommendations and schedules for feeding dry amendments. Ty for any help pointing me in the right direction

I grew using Coco and perlite and dry amendments last grow but I also added alittle soil as well was my best grow yet was cheap too really as I grow over 50 plants at once in flower this run I've just used all the old mix and amended that and top dressed with the usual dolomite and bone meal as well as some potash and seaweed fertilizer really and they doing good. I don't like to go away from dirt completely as I love the taste and you don't have too feed as much really. But yeah I'm thinking of going all Coco and perlite but I'll have to do a run first with just afew plants to see the needs they need over soil but in the meen time I'm only going to use Coco as a type of buffer for my soil instead of all the bark and crap in potting mix u get from garden stores I only want the soil not the bark and crap I make my own soils and I prefer them clean and no bloody crap in them just soil with a buffer of Coco and perlite my plants last run was so good I did 3 plants that were just so easy to keep on top of everything. All I did was water till the end no deficiencies at all was awesome

Is this Coco and dry amendments

Good luck with that.
You might consider using either peat moss or soil instead of coco.

Ok so I'm mixing my next run with Coco. pumice, peat moss. Compost and wormcastings as well As dry amendments the only reason I'm going like this is I'm trying to make a living or super soil my peat moss and compost has been sitting for 8 weeks so far has another 3 weeks before I mix it with Coco as my base the peat and compost and then 20% will be Coco and another 20% will be worm castings then afew cups of Herbie's dry amendments that are for bloom and I will also add alittle blood meal to keep it vegging for another 3 weeks after the transplanting and after afew weeks top dress with bloom again and compost teas the rest of the way I won't be using pH water just dechlorinated water and no bottled nutes what do you guys think about that mix
