What is IPM - thanksyes, water daily, gnats with IPM regiment, or simple yellow sticky traps, nematodes. Keeping the medium aerobic, environment clean and ventilated.
Do you feed nutrients right away in cocoloco or wait to feed like the other fox farm ocean forest soil? Thanks.I'm currently using cocoloco and it works great. You water the same as you would soil. I was thinking about using pure coco for the next run. They say coco coir should be fergitated once or twice a day and never dry. How do you keep the gnats and root aphids away?
right away, coco needs buffers, it is essentially a black slate, you provide everything. Mot likely week 1 will be just watering, but after you will need to feed every wateringDo you feed nutrients right away in cocoloco or wait to feed like the other fox farm ocean forest soil? Thanks.
its kinda like FOFF loaded with organic amendments. I water about every 3 days. I dont feed anything untill start of flowering. Then start at half strength for bottles- or just top dress with dry amendments every 3 weeks.Do you feed nutrients right away in cocoloco or wait to feed like the other fox farm ocean forest soil?

Integrated Pest management, just a short way of saying pest control regimentWhat is IPM - thanks
oh so is it like preamnded coco ?its kinda like FOFF loaded with organic amendments. I water about every 3 days. I dont feed anything untill start of flowering. Then start at half strength for bottles- or just top dress with dry amendments every 3 weeks.

yes if you feed it right away the plant will die just like FFOFoh so is it like preamnded coco ?
I would like to retract my comment my sir. I assumed it was plane coco, Amended coco will be like soil. Coco perlite will need constant feedits kinda like FOFF loaded with organic amendments.

I keep hearing about people making that mistake. Treating it like coco will not work and there's not enough sticky traps on earth to get rid of the gnats. The only reason I am even thinking about switching to pure coco is the cocoloco has a bit more N then I like. Gnats love the organics. Maybe pure coco is not so bad?

honestly I run coco perlite at 50:50 ratio, superb. Super easy to fix and issues, and roots are always happy. I have gnats, other than nematodes and sticky traps I wouldn't really bother much, gnats are just more of an annoyance than anything. Treating cocoloco like regular coco with deplete the nutrients super fast, and will probably wash away with runo off and not absorbed at root zone. They only thing is Im romantic in a sense I like to hand water the ladies, so it gets a bit time consuming with the daily watering.I keep hearing about people making that mistake.

the more the better, This round I have 30-70 coco perlite.Adding 25%-30% more perlite to the cocoloco wouldn’t hurt I suppose.
Why not just go full hydro?the more the better, This round I have 30-70 coco perlite.
I know right ? I still get regular electric outages, DWC would fail so hard. It's the closest I can go without the gear.Why not just go full hydro?
