I love strait coco. Ive used it for the past 3-4 years now in every method possible beds being my favorite. I run beds production style so I cut plant out with rootball after harvest, then run cannazyme the 2x strength to break down roots, plant new ones in and top off with a bag or so in each bed. That easy. Coco is similar to rockwool but superior growth and allows trichoderma to form a relationship with your plants. The beds keep getting better as time goes, nothing to clean just go. Could go for 2 or more years on the same coco rose growers use their for 10 years Ive heard.
Chow rocks you can see the beast mode plants just form overnight with the added growth and more frequent feeds.Ive never personally done a chow bed but many plants in hempys and a 10 gallon plant.
Nutes Ive used HG with great results but am messing with cns and ces now. I feed at 5.4-5.6 unless the ppms tell other wise. Coco likes to rise naturally.

For my beds I use tray liners by geopot due to the trellis system built into the top for easy applications. Their website geopot.com should show you what I mean. With beds there is more lateral root growth compared to pots which replicates nature and even more root space/travel as well as access to nutrients. I do prefer friendlier root systems aswell.Sounds good, i was thinking of doing a 4x5 bed of coco/perlite but im not sure how to build the drainage system. I think it would be easier to use 3g pots on a raceway table for DTW. If you could explain how you built the raised bed with drainage i would greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance.
Also, perlite tends to have a high pH so i think it would be better to feed coco/perlite around 6.0 instead of 5.5, do you agree??
3x3. With a wand but irrigation will be installed in the future or it may not just depends. In the past all my beds had drip lines with no gph drippers on the ends, evenly spaced.

Thats the exact same thing I do. I feed Jacks Pro DTW in COCO with Amazing Results so far. USed GH in the past along with almost every nute on the market. Gonna amend one of my coco beds with organics this round. see how it goes. CoCo beds for the win for sure. Yeilds and quality rocks in CoCO.
so you use pure coco too with no amendments?? would i need a buffer like limstone or does the botanicare coco already come pH buffered??
It's been a couple of years, but when I fire it back up it's going to be Botanicare coco cut with rice hulls (about 30%-40%), amended with some rock dusts, worm castings (about 10%), and possibly peat, I'm not sure about the peat yet because I haven't worked with it much. I want to do a fully organic, qualified organic coir grow, but I haven't decided how I'll address that.
