[SparkUm]

well im gonna hop on down to the grow shop tomorrow , someone recommended i get coco coir & coco nutes A + B , was wondering if i had to mix perlite or anything with the coco coir? anyone with experience on this please inform me a lil :thumbsup:

Yes you'll need to use coir just like peat moss, it'll at least need perlite. I read a study about coco coir and it seems that the quality varies dramatically depending on brand, the cheap ones have too much sodium supposedly, but I wouldn't be too concerned.
