So as far as differences between coco and TLO, here are some of my preliminary thoughts on it:
Because I did use such a large container 10gal, the root systems never did completely fill the container. Because of this the growth was more like soil but slightly faster vegetative growth (first 3 weeks stretch). Also started bloom with smaller plants than normal, which is why overall yield is low.
Pros:
-Higher yield, by 10% (considering plant size) for instance the Ceasar plants had a larger frame on the seedling run, but only yielded between 125-150. Coco run was between 150-200.
-Was easier to manage the nutrients feeding directly vs. mixing organic soil. Cheaper as well.
-Frost was just as strong as previous runs.:fire:
-Taste is just as good as previous runs. Nobody can tell the difference.
Cons:
-Smell not quite as potent as previous runs. (Most likely due to not letting it hang dry long enough) I'll have a better idea of whats up on this next batch.
-Fungus gnats are still a problem, both coco and organic soil.

This one turned out more blockheaded. Had a crazy deficiency/disease early on and looks very different from the others now.

So far I've pulled one leaf off of this whole crop in flower. Want to keep it to an absolute minimum for this grow. :ninja:

This Ceasar is looking a little sad, Not sure why. A couple eaves have some rust on them, and blotchy yellow fading on some of the leaves. This was the first clone I potted up into coco and took forever to grow but finally got big in veg, so that could be part of it. Running Temps between 81-70, Co2 700-800, and Jacks 3-2-1 with added Mamoth P was @ 800 ppm last week. Just bumped it up to 1100 ppm on the last res change Sunday.

Not sure why spell check reversed “bat” with pat
All need to do is pat/beat them roots after harvest and you get your coco back , alot of guys think when it’s so root bound it’s inpossible/not worth it per say. but all you gotta do is is make sure it’s a little moist and tickle it a little and pat/beat it apart. Done! ( who does not want a medium that can be used forever as long as you make sure you do proper run off and proper ipm, 5-10% loss at end of year , fuck soil lol )

Smells like vanilla and artificial purple, with a little bit of dank on the backend. I wish E$cobar gear was more available.cube buds:cool:
