Is there any value in adding rockdust to coco?

not quite sure what rockdust is,, but coco dont need nothing if your using coco nutes,maybe a little perlite in botom of pots to assist drainage

It's used in soil mixes for trace elements - some very interesting research out there about it. This guy did a germ test and found up to 80% more root mass using it for some conditions (compost+rockdust), plus his germ room sounds a lot like ours

I just wondered if a sprinkle in coco would bring any benefit, or just get washed through, or is pointless with coco nutes... I'm going to repot my mud dwellers into a mix with some rockdust in though.

looking at those results it gotta be worth doing a comparrison grow ,it sounds like its similiar to plant success and cannas trichoderma fungus ,really improves root mass,,,

do a side by side grow and see what diferences occur ,it can never hurt to experiment :

Good idea....I'll try it with a few of the G13xMMG I've got in, maybe a TW or two....depends on how many girls I get.
