I failed miserably when I attempted to grow in coco. It was a grower I met here who convinced me to give it a try. I visited his garden and saw nice vegging plants. he also convinced me cfl's were sufficient. Both notions failed for me, fuck coco, cfl's, molasses and fuck him.
his plants took 12=15 weeks to finish, like ak47, og kush, never ambered, no nose, massive vegging though, lots of vegetable material to go through, whispy buds, a million cfl's and daily molasses too. I figured it out quickly though, read a book and never looked back till today.
So because you failed makes it suck?I failed miserably when I attempted to grow in coco.

Yea, you have a point! And I takevthat back about coco loco, I looked at the bag and it says triple washed, low salt content. So I was just flushing nutes to make it less hot. And when I get 2 cubic ft for $12 I can't go wrong!Seems a waste of time and effort to have to flush your media before you can use it. I get ProMix and it's ready to go right out of the bag. Fill the pot, drop in a seed and you're off to the races. ProMix makes coco media too but we just get the regular peat-base stuff here and that's fine by me. I still have a big brick of compressed coco I tried 15 years ago. I had no idea that it needed flushing and it screwed up my plants back then and I've never used it since. Can't get it here and I have no desire to go looking for it.
ProMix FTW!![]()
I used organic ProMix and had the largest Gnat infestation ever. Went back to roots organic and no problems. I have seen great results with coco but after I watched a friend ruin his entire grow I keep to soil.
