Plagron Cocos Perlite 70/30 growing media

[kumar]

Hi there,
does anyone have experience with this new Plagron Cocos Perlite 70/30 growing media? I need a hussle free, easy and ready to use stuff. I need something very light, airy, well draining mix, and found this one online. Will use a drip system for irrigation with drain to waste method.

Thanks a bunch!

Apologize

disregard that

perlite helps with drainage and airflow

it is not needed but it greatly helps if you want to water more and a little faster growth depending on the ratio

I am currently playing around with solo cups and flipped coco to perlite ratios

like 20/80 10/90
Coco/perlite

This stuffs great! I had a friend who used it like crazy and would talk about it for days. I actually wanted this stuff but never could get it conveniently in my location so I went with Cloud Coir. cloud coir is great!

I always found perlite to help my media dry out faster when doing drain to waste. I was able to pump more liquid nutes and they loved it. Was expensive on nutes. I usually just bought the cheapest coco and used large sized Pearl lite and would do my own 50/50 mix but everyone grows differently

Ya that was a bad comment, no context I posted a better one

Thanks guys. I know what perlite does, I was just curious how that exact Plagron product does the job. Anyhow, now experimenting with coco chips / coir mix, seems like it's pretty good.
