I'm on my first run with coco right now. Well 2nd kinda. Tested a couple plants on a prior run.
Promix tends to hold/retain more water than coco Ime. So that makes sense to me.
Is it Botanicare coco?
Yeah, with the promix to my understanding you want to let it somewhat dry out between waterings. and 8-12 hours difference can mean not dry enough to too dry. And also feeding every other water. Just does not seem optimal to me.
Nice looking plant(s)!
Yeah I feel that. The only issue I've had with coco is it drying out too fast. But that's on my for using it outside on a 7' plant in a 10 gallon smart pot lol. I don't blame the coco haha.
haha yeah bigger pot or more frequent waterings.
I'm using coco now but will switch to organic soil for my next run. Just want to use raw amendments instead of buying processed crap from a big corporation.
Yeah they have the Botanicare pure coco and the perlite mix (aeration and moisture mix) they also have roots organic and cyco brands but these are both coco+perilite. Haven't heard too much of the later brands so will go with the botanicare brand.just need help picking the mix
I use a product similar ro promix. But i mix in some slower release organic materials to reduce feedimg intermittently. Also strong teas allow u to go alittle longer periods(a cpl waters), also large pots (im moving to 10s, and now want a bed) But i dont mind the dry window cuz im pretty available, problem is its hard to leave(for more than 2-4 days). I notice large root systems in soils that dryout fast and evenly.
If you don't mind my asking what's your feeding regimen? Got a few runs under my belt but still trying to dial in dosing strength and frequency. Like most growers I blasted them with nutes my first run and have since learned less is more. But now I think I might be underfeeding slightly for fear of over doing it. Getting better every run tho and isn't that always the goal? Lol
The guy I'm learning from swears by the Moisture mix so I've been using that. I water every other day. The other mixes might need watering everyday.
I like it keep it super simple so I just do the h3ad formula.
You have some amazing plants so you must be doing something right lol. Seems youre running a 2:3 ratio whereas I was going more 1:2.5. I use turface (calcined clay) as my medium so idk if that would account for the difference.
Thanks
I'm not about buying a ton of products. I'm sure some help but I don't know which ones do haha.
