Help please, new plants have taken a turn...

[Arkain]

No nothing to but plant in

U don’t want the soil saturated but not dry either, water when required, medium is dry, then a little round the edges

I was interested in what SE had said and once I've used the coco neuts I've bought I will look further into it.

Hey Billy, tell us more. If I want to give it a go, at what ratio do you mix the 2? Can I feed coco nutes?

No idea, I’m simply agreeing that Coco should be avoided.

As for medium specific nutes.. I got a feeling that might be a crock of shit too ...

[micmac]

I’m sure it’s not the best medium, but u can be very successful with it, most of the problems I’ve seen regarding coco ids the lack of equipment n the knowledge how to use them correctly

Or they simply used the wrong coco without treating it first

Coco is also good medium to hone your skills n understand the plants requirements at different stages

Surely a bit of experience is necessary b4 u go straight to perlite n vermiculite

The reason I suggest coco specific nutes is because that’s what works for me although I’ve used non specific nutes with similar results

And just to throw it out there a bag of perlite or a bag of vermiculite is dearer than coco/perlite

Could be an incentive to push those products, I only bring this up because it has been mentioned about the price of coco and the push to sell it a few yrs back

At the end of the day u need to find something u can manage and be successful in your attempts, doesn’t mattter whether it’s coco, perlite, soil or dwc

You nailed it in the first line Mac.. “I’m sure it’s not the best medium”.

 

So why use it ?

 

The price difference is not that great to warrant it..

[micmac]

Because I can make it work, maybe I’ll try SE mix on 1 of the setups next time but for now I’ll run with what works for me

I use it because it's forgiving. Often I can't tend to my plants regularly and it's at short notice. I know they'll be in good shape even if I don't water for a couple of days.

I'm guessing if I had anything else besides soil that a lot could go wrong in those couple of days. Not so with coco I've found.

For me it was a good transition from soil.

Micmac, are you mixing with perlite? If so, then what ratio can I ask.
