so would you say the premium soil and nutes perform as well as the coco or is it too early to tell?
You know it sure looks like it is but it still early... I am getting the Black Gold Coco Blend this week so we'll get to see how that goes too I'm going all organic as soon as I run out of my Fox Farm nutes but I'm kinda iffy on the coco mixes cuz I read this quote from DrBud over at Bubblemanshideout
"A Hydro grow will give the Illusion of a "Faster Grow" but not really so as a trip from the grow room into the Lab will reveal..
Take a "Cross section" cut from a branch.
Same strain,Same light, One grown Hydro and one grown in real soil mix ....
(Not a Peat or Coco based hydro System...if you add anything but water when you water......your growin Hydro 90% of weed is Hydro....just not all in a bucket of water )
Prepare a slide of each for the microscope.....
on the soil one you Will see that the cells are round for the most part.
on the Hydro one they are Ovals because they are full of water...that explains the "Illusion of a Larger plant"
dry them out and the soil one will weigh more...."
So on that note I may not even go with the Coco Blend and just get the Black Gold soil since it's OMRI listed and I've also been thinking of using this line up of nutes all together which is 100% organic and all you need to use...
ok the mix is this - Alaska Fish Emulsion 5-1-1 , Fox Farm Big Bloom, Botnicare Liquid Karma... I think that one sounds pretty good but the organic teas look really good to so I'm stuck in organic confusion lol
