No problem going from promix to coco. My next run im going to mix sunshine mix 4 and coco

Youll be fines make sure you got good clean coco

youll like the coco way better I never did like how you need wetting agents in pro mix
coco soaks it up and nothin drowns as long as you got a lil perlite in it

kush401 · Nov 7, 2014

I've been doing raw coco how much perlite do you use

Totally dependant on your needs
personally I was running 70/30 coco/perlite
I tried 50/50 and found I had to water a shit load so I bumped the coco

you can do it strait too I believe coco holds more air then rockwool if im not mistaken

im all hydro nowadays
but one day will go organic in coco again

What do you think about undercurrent should I make the switch? My friend says it's alot easier and with my Gaurdian Blue lab I should be good. Don't want to risk my crop off the switch

Cold$moke · Nov 7, 2014

What do you mean undercurrent ? You said blue lab so I assume your talkin about a meter?

It looks tight.
truth be told ive built all of my systems so I cant say ,looks decent
Does it constantly recirculate?
Thats my only concern with setups like that other that that looks cool.
I ran individual systems just cause if one plant develops problems its not shared and its easier to run different strains or perpetual harvests
at the cost of added work which aint much if you do it right

And yes I think it's constantly recirculating

Cold$moke · Nov 8, 2014

You know to be honest for me the yeild thing isnt what made me switch even though im all hydro now

The main reSon I switched was I hate the mess, getting crappy coco with salts in it.
Having to mix up a big pile
soaking it

it all got old for me

now I justptransfer my res water to my outdoor plants in the summer

and also I belive you can consider coco as a hydroponic medium with drip systems flood tables ect.

Did you mean "run" as in wich nute?

Cold$moke · Nov 8, 2014

One day I will go back to coco when im ready to go completely organic
also my yields are small cause I got a small room. But im adding another story to my home and the basments getting 10 ft ceilings
so ask me the yield question agian in about a year.

but my last run in my 4.5x4.5x5 box got over 1.5 lbs
I guarantee my new rooms will produce at least 2 lbs a light hopefully more

I wont call my self an expert till I can repeatably hit 2gpw lol
