I'm trying a new thing with coco and would like to keep the medium. I don't mind watering daily. I bought an air pump to bubble water for this project.I would recommend pro mix instead of coco when mixing in organic dry fertilizer, I think it's easier to deal with watering and such, and less chance of problems.
I think with coco you might have to water multiple times a day whereas promix you water once every few days give or take
Canucks actually grows with full Gaia Green lineup now - including the GG Living Soil and nutrient line.
So yes +1 to stick with ProMix or similar peat based mediums
Get a bag of cocoloco and hf dry amendments. Nothing else needed. Do not water daily. Water as you would soil.Hi buddies,
After growing in soil for a long time I'm trying coco. I have FF Cultivation Nation 70/30. My seeds have just sprouted.
I was planning on following Canucks YouTube Grow using coco, EWC, and dry amendments. I will be watering by hand, which he does in this method, giving only plain pH'ed water. This is all the level of automation I can do at this point.
I'm at the point where I'm about to buy dry fertilizer and would like to entertain some different methods that might be as easy as Canucks Grow and maybe work better. I'm basically just about to start and can use any method.
I bought mycorrhizae and plenty of EWC in preparation. My lights are not very powerful, about 400w LED board. I don't have a good digital ph EC meter as of now.
Anyone care to add $.02? I think I get that with coco it's either organic in the media or inorganic, with inorganic/hydroponic winning with growth rates. Like I sez I never used coco before.
Thanks ants. Thants.
Canuck has since moved on to living soil. I too was inspired by him and have been rocking a similar style ever since. I use roots organics terp tea dry amendment line with some recharge, kelp extract, EWC, and a few others but that’s basically it. Top dress a tablespoon per gallon of soil at the beginning of flower and then about halfway thru do it again. I’ve had great results using this method with normal size plants. The big plant I’m growing now got hungrier sooner tho but for the most part I’ve been able to get a nice amount of grows under the belt with little to no deficiencies.Hi buddies,

I've also considered going with Coco but I can't afford the learning curves inevitable fk ups. I'm sure after 3-4 grows I could learn the process well enough to get where I'm at now with Promix type soils........but I can now grow well enough to keep me with a supply of meds and I don't need the stress of going back to school....I'm too old for that shit.......They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks that applies X 2 for a stoned old dog.Hi buddies,

How do you water? Meaning what’s your PH and how often…..Canuck has since moved on to living soil. I too was inspired by him and have been rocking a similar style ever since. I use roots organics terp tea dry amendment line with some recharge, kelp extract, EWC, and a few others but that’s basically it. Top dress a tablespoon per gallon of soil at the beginning of flower and then about halfway thru do it again. I’ve had great results using this method with normal size plants. The big plant I’m growing now got hungrier sooner tho but for the most part I’ve been able to get a nice amount of grows under the belt with little to no deficiencies.
Can I ask what is your ph range? I started out at 6.0, then saw where Mr C was at 6.4/6.5……so I upped mine.Canuck has since moved on to living soil.

I’ve never owned a ph pen as the soil and microbes act as a buffer. I use distilled, RO, Rain water. I just mix my microbes and micronutrients in and water. Here’s a seed run I just started and they are into the first week of flower. You don’t have to ph with organics unless you got some super unstable tap water you’re using. I just up potted to fresh soil in the 3 gallon pot, top dressed 3 tablespoons of Terp tea bloom and sent it. I get pretty good results with this method but have found bigger plants demand much more top dressing.Can I ask what is your ph range?

The only difference I’ve spotted is the new growth is a shade too yellow….I’ve been told that’s from either a calcium def or the ph being too high.
What is your take ?? Thanks for the help.
