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..
