Another good thing about coco, its easy to dispose of, it will break down in the garden, lawn or paddock , or ya can throw it in the compost,  unlike perlite, clay balls or rockwooll

 

put a few more in straight coco see how they go, not sure why ya need cal mag in coco, so won't be using any, just budrite and bass sulphate of potash

 

automatic watering would be shit hot, ain't gunna happen tho, to much fucking around for outside, be alright if the pots stayed in one place, you would still have problems 

water temps be a killer for starters 

 

 

 

still recon coco is shit, same as rockwool and fucking perlite, but its a bit hard carrying an Areoponic set up in and out everyday, so its the best of a bad bunch for now

 

 

it will all go to shit know doubt, can't be this easy to grow in coco, not from what i been hearing

Coco and organic are both great , prefer organic but yep knats are bastards

Being a DC, I can't work out why you would need Cal Mag in coco, what am i missing here ?

One of the cons of coco.

Upsized from a 14ltr pot to a big litre bag a couple of days before 200mm rain expected.

Tarped to prevent overwatering. Bit of a hassle.

I thought it was impossible to Overwater Coco?

 

Read that one again and again.

 

Holds 20% more O2 than soil at full saturation or something?

 

Guess here if your garden is flooded or super wet, may not get away?

I’m just mucking about in my garden.

You may be right Carbcon. Not for me though. At least not yet.

That amount of rain at 0.0ec would have flushed my buffered coco and left my new transplant super soggy.

 

Once I have more roots, we love the rain. Until then I let them go through a few wet/damp cycles. I reckon by the middle/end Feb, it’ll be daily feeds.

 

Bare naked during prep. No ground contact.

I’ve played around with coco for a few yrs tryed different ratios , I’ve found [emoji817] % coco run to waste and water 30 min after light comes on and 15% run off ,as my go to routine, I have tryed watering twice a day I didn’t find enough increases to warrant the added expense... would only water twice if I was growing in a small pot and it dries out between waterings
