I thought that I would start a bog to keep track of growing info that does not make it into my regular posts.
Years ago when I first started to grow cannabis, I used a mix of coco and pearlite. As the years have passed, I have been improving upon my growing methods one was the change from coco pearlite mix to 100% coco. My latest realisation is that used coco is a much better growing medium than using new coco.
I currently use bunnings brand coco, the super fine coco mixed with the larger chipped coco.
The most important thing to remember with cheap coco, is to flush the crap out of the coco, then flush it again.
Just a few months ago I read Louise's post about using dolomite lime in coco, I've taken to using that too.
One of my more controversial growing methods is not to test my PH, I gave up doing that about a year ago.
Using rain water, the Ph of my nutrient water run-off is generally 5.4-5.7. I have recently confirmed that the run-off PH remains at 5.5.
I always water until I get run-off, always. I think this aids in keeping salt build-up to a minimum and keeps the PH at a decent level.
