Don't go too heavy on the castings or it makes the mix very heavy and then it holds far too much water, tends to compact around the roots.
I would say make a tea, as the nature of how you feed/water coco will cause it to flush out very quickly if it is amended into the coco itself.
You can, but it can only do so much because of how fine the castings themselves are. Also, I MUCH prefer rice hulls at this point, for everything.Can one use perlite to compensate for this?

I got mine at the local feed store, which means that it hasn't been treated to prevent the rice grains from popping. It's a FRACTION of the cost of perlite. 8'cu bag, highly compressed, of rice hulls is $6-$8. You can do the rest of the math to compare it to perlite. There is, for me, absolutely no reason to ever buy a bag of perlite again. I did a thread on it.where do you get the rice hulls? hows the cost compared to a 4 cf bag of perlite?

I got some worm castings to add to my coco. A nutrient guide mentioned that they were a good source of magnesium. I've also read here that people say it enhances their flavor (or was that bat guano, I forget which type of animal feces were preferred for taste)
What's the preferred method of using the worm castings with coco? Mix it in, like 10% worm, 60% coco, 30% perlite? Or is making a tea best? Once
I make the tea, do I also add my normal feed nutrients to it?
