Hi, I am wondering about the various mixes people use with Coco in there Coco medium. I use 100% Coco & do ok with that. The obious one is 'perlite'. Also, what compost (as opposed to the "inert" Coco & perlight medium). What information I am after concerns the compost if you use Coco as a supliment with a compost. What compost & why that cinoist + approx cost - be nice ? Is the use of perlite and/or Coco in your mix considered heretic if I say it's "organic" - I'm getting itch feet and would like to do an 'organic grow'. This info is of interest to me aas I simply don't know. Thanks Coco Growers & others.

Im using nefarious nutrient ,I have a wierd problem If premix my nutrient and let it sit over night it takes on a milky opaque appearance if put it into my rezy within a couple of hours it stays clear??????????? Last night I flushed and was left with about 30-40 litres of nutrient this morning the nutrient not in the system was opaque .But the nute in the system was nice and fresh looking . All I can put it down to is that the unused nute is not heated and would get pretty cold of a night.

I don't trust myself or my test kits. My new dwc setup has been running no plants for a week now . Today I added general hydro 3 part nutes for the 1st time I tested tbefore adding the hydro for ph it was 6.9 then carefully followed the tables for a very mild 1/4 strength. Tested the ph several hours later and it seems the ph is higher. I thought the nutrient solution would lower ph not raise it. Am I just freaking out here? This is my 1st shot at this and don't want to start dumping chemicals in that it doesn't need. The system is pretty big at 70 gls. What am I missing here? I used my best Selifert test kit and can't figure this out. would it take over night for…
