How do the roots grow?

I grow in coco and it's not needed. It's dusty, dirty, and an extra step to have to mix into your medium.

So that's justification for hating it then? The perlite I just bought comes pre-moistened to prevent dust and if it dried out its a couple of sprays with to get it damp again. I've seen a lot of guys use perlite with coco. Peat-based mixes drain as well as coco but I still want lots of perlite in it.

And it's not dirty at all. It's about the most sterile and inert thing you'll ever add to a medium.

I used dusty and dirty to describe the same thing. Sure lots of guys use perlite with coco, doesn't mean I don't like it. You're completely right, hate is a strong word. I strongly dislike perlite because I consider it useless. That work for you?

Don't tell @getogrow it's inert.

No , i would like you to quit giving advice you cannot back up. Quit trying to argue facts. Coco is a great medium for hydro guys and organic guys. Thats the facts. Its not even close to "inert" Thats the facts.

I use long fiber, chunky coco to replace perlite because perlite is inert. Nothing wrong with perlite , i just like the extra cec from coco. More moisture/nutrient holding capabilities.

I’ve switched totally to Sunshine 4. Or the Sunshine 4 Advanced. Far cheaper HERE than Pro Mix HP. I don’t know about prices in the Lower 48

You guys remember that device from a few years back.. where you plug electrodes into all the indoor potted plants, and it creates some kind of electronic ground loop or whatnot, that supposedly emulates the plants being outside in the ground?

Claims of it benefiting root structures, and "unlocking the secret that makes outdoor plants grow so much bigger than indoor", if I remember right. Kind of like they say when you where rubber shoes, you lose your connection to earth, it's the same with plants. Maybe even just hooking wires up to the pots, and going outside to a ground rod would have some affect like that, without the extra current.. I'm always skeptical but can't say I've tried anything like it, other than electrocuting plants with alligator clips, and tesla coils, etc, lol.


Kinda like that gizmo that spins real fast, and creates an energy field around it that makes plants thrive. I forgot the name, but they used to have a few at my buddies grow shop for sale. It was like triangular metal loops from bigger to smaller, spinning inside each other, and I wanted to reverse engineer it.


One thing i do want to experiment more with is putting sonic tactile transducers on the sides of DWC containers, and hitting the nutrient solution with different frequencies\tones that I generate depending on different growth phases.

I want to see how it affects the root structures, or if it causes them to grow in different cymatic like patterns. Like, maybe I could create bands of standing wave patterns, and force the roots to grow in those layers only..

Maybe there is a certain g-spot frequency you hit, that tickles the roots and makes her hella wet and ooze more resin? :P

BIOWAVEmini growth booster is the next innovation of Biowave Industries Inc. The core technology of BIOWAVEmini is two stainless steel cages that counter rotate, creating subsonic harmonic waves that resonate with the plants and cause them to breathe better. Increased respiration/transpiration is shown to create greater yields and more plant vigor in vegetables and fruits.


• BIOWAVEmini helps plants breathe better by stimulating the opening of stomata.
• Increased Brix level and crop quality factors.
• Helps repel and prevent insect attacks and infestations.
• Plug & Play – Just plug into any wall socket!
• Effectively covers 500 sq ft growing space.
• Works with either 110v or 240v.
• Draws only 30 watts when running.
• Won’t hurt humans, BIOWAVEmini only affects plants.
• In 3 years of testing, lowest result was 12% yield increase.
• BIOWAVEmini will not affect lights or any other electrical equipment.
• BIOWAVEmini is made out of stainless steel. It has a one year manufacturer’s warranty.
• All BIOWAVEmini machines and designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
• Recommended cycle time 15 on 45 off during the light period.
• 1-year warranty

Yes I support this research, because my interest is in below ground level grows .
