your bud will be bigger overall if you go with a hydro system which coco is basically.

so coco.

i'm in grow blocks DTW..plug>hugo>bigmama

i moved from my house to apartment, so no garage, switched up from soil to blocks and never looked back..so much simpler.

it helps to know how to use each medium properly
for soil, you feed the soil,not the plant
for coco or other soiless/hydro mediums, you feed the plant.

Having done both, if doing everything manually coco is a bit more work. I wouldn't call it a harder way to grow, just more work. Any new grower is likely to have at least some problems regardless of which they chose. Once you learn to grow with either method the bulk of the knowledge is transferable to the other.

yeah that is very true from what a lot of people have said.. Thanks :) I do like so far the grow on coco coir I recently added a growstones w/ coco to my 2 plants and been growing good no problems until now with a reddish stem look I know one of my plants(Cherry Bomb) has reddish purple stems in the genetics.. Just my Ny Diesel & Cataract Kush having trouble with the stems being red and one bottom leaf turning yellow but the rest being strong and healthy..

I hate caps lock and all lower case sucks too. Call me old fashioned, but poor writing makes me skip posts that feature either of them.

70 coco/30 perlite let build roots in 6 incher then onto 5 gallon fabric. You can run as much nute solution through as you want and get DWC results. Soil cant touch coco. It doesn't dry fast enough. wet dry cycle keeps soil from even competin with coco

Prepin the coco with grow/calmag is the most important thing I believe. If people can just get past that early mag def? there good to go! Its not really the early def that's the problem. Its a lot pepes come on here and this one tells them magnesium def, this one says phosphorous, this on calcium? then there fucked because they really start doing damage. I believe in spending the $ and getting the best too. why bargain shop when your dealin with something so valuable? I wanted to buy undercurrent DWC for awhile now but after Coco/Perlite hand fed to waste on saucers under quality LED panels is where its at now and the forseable future! I M putting all my$ into the LED basket! I mean Area51 basket. They have Vero Cobs coming out in June.
