I have grow with Hydroton, Rockwool and lately subcools super soil mix. What is the benefit of growing with Coco Coir? I see it is became very wide used but how is it any better or worse? Thanks
U will see it in a few weeks, it takes some time for the roots to get around all the coco..... Once they do its amazing. That's another benefit. More roots, bigger plantsA high-quality coco (not compressed bricks) is an excellent medium. I am experimenting now with organically amended coco. No huge differences so far; I do think I have faster growth though.
I usually add about 25%-30% rice hulls, guanos, Azomite, worm castings (in low amounts or you can really create a very... sludgey/muddy media), kelp meal, Neem meal, and some Microhume, all pre-charged with a mild vegging solution that always includes some seaweed extract. Oh, I also add in a good bit of dry hydrolized fish.
