This thread has a nice summary I read over 50+ pages on IC on the unofficial coco thread and learned a lot, but really it could have been summarized by almost your one post hehe. In fact I believe you helped me on a post over there about cutting with perlite! Glad to see ya here and as I am soon making the switch to coco I know where to go with questions!
Any any chance you get your name from the early 90s book snow crash?
Plants look nice there, man. What strain ya got running there? I'm curious as to your research into your favorite coco media and nutes. Can you tell us more about any others you have tried. How about organics and coco? Do you have any experience with that one? Do you use teas or other active cultures in your methods of coco gardening? You say 30% runoff? Is that on all your feedings? How did you arrive at this number? Do you flush with tap or cal mag infused RO water between or in a cycle with feedings? Thanks for sharing with everyone,

Awesome response man. I truly appreciate the length at which you went to tell your findings behind your final theories. I am gladly learning all I can on the topic of coco. I find others who also are combining chemical and organics for their coco. It seems to be a good thing. I will be trying the CNS compared to the Canna coming up soon. I'm excited to see how she runs. Do you go by, or close to the chart on feed strengths on that nute line? Thanks for adding to the coco forum.

I honestly have found the following-
worst common coco- Botanicare
Best common coco- Atami Bio Bizz/Canna
No drip to waste- just water 10-20% volume, key being with everyone using chem/syns in coco- USE DRIP CLEAN.
coco does NOT need to be precharged with Calmag
I only use Calplex- no mag additive.
Ive gone through following nutrients in coco- Canna AB, AN 3pt, AN Connie, AN Senis AB, and Age Old Organics. The simplest by far and most consistent being AN Sensi AB. As well as the fact that Sensi requires very few additives to be effective.
For organics so far- Age Old works fine, but must be applied at/close to recommended feed rates.
Just a few thoughts.

i was gonna pic ur brain on the coir if ya dont mind
i'm doin a one time JUST flowering part of a grow ona low budget.. and i already have the coir and some canna nutes too, the PK, the cannazymn, and most importantly some healthy established clones growing in pots with soil mix some since st pat's day
anyhow...i want to put them into my 4 x 4 foot ebb n flo tray without pots ..I have 11 plants from 4 feet tall down to one foot tall, 5 r decent sized in 3-4 gal pots, and the rest are smaller... MK ultra, jamacian purple kush, purple kush, blueberry , white widow and burmese kush....
would you just follow the canna feed schedule or do you have aspecial mix?
do you think i would be better off keeping them in 4 gal pots verse no pots in the 4 x 4 tray?..... I think it will hold fifty lbs of soil and would grow better without the pots
Or do you think I should stick with hydro? because that is what I have ezxperience in doing<i use canna aqua products and have very good success, such as you describe for yourself... I could easily just soak the soil mix off the root balls and put them into the coco puff lil balls i use and run from there..i'm kinda takkin myself towards the hydro now..hehe
interesting stuff you posted none the less
6 40L bags of Roots Organics Coco Mix
2 40L bags of Biobizz Light
25-50 lbs. (1 or 2 bags) of organic worm castings
5 lbs. of Blood meal 12-0-0
5 lbs. Bat guano 0-5-0
5 lbs. Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0
¾ cup Epsom salt
1 cup Sweet lime (Dolomite)
½ cup Azomite (Trace element)
2 Tbs. powdered Humic acid
