I just use straight coco...

Slowly my mix is becoming more coco hahaha. It really is amazing. Hold so much dam water . It was big in the late ninetys when I stopped growing and it's not surprising that it's still the shit

U don't use anything else ? Just coco ? I tend to overwater and those roots need oxygen so I add a ton of anything w air in it

yes, just coco...i'll explain my set up ... I hand water, so i want the water retension.. but I don t want the roots to get "wet feet".. I have drain valves at the base of the pots... I water untill i see waste coming out of the drain.. Ive got it down to a fine art now...that I just know how much water it needs without looking at the drain valves..

Interesting so do u water as slow as possible as well to give it a chance to completely absorb?

you know what,,.. all I do is stick my finger in the top of the pot to test for moisture.. when I see its getting dry... I hit it with 6ltrs of nutes.. then keep my eye on it.. In full growth i water every three days

Screw that ! I just had to switch mine at a year and a half. What a pain . Ended up dropping it while struggling by myself to take the old one off. Broke an auto in half haha five years is worth it

The only time I water/feed and allow a drying period is seedling stage till roots establish. After that m y medium never dries out.
