which medium should i be using if i want to use a siless soil....
If by "fungus crap", you're talking about mycorrizae fungi, that's actually a good thing to have in your soil. :thumbsup:
Mycorrizae info
thast fungus crap though in pro mix stunts gorwth and ive read peole getting 600 bales of this, and ruined 17000 plnats are planning on sueing them for this... ill try and find the link...
"their" fungus crap sucks...
the fungus stuff is good stuuf, i referring to the stuff premior hort puts in there themselves...
so im confused, what exactly are you talking about?
I was reading via internet that bales of pro mix weith the mycrozzea sucked whihc cuaeded slow growth to people, some having 17000 + screwed up ( not referring to cannabis, but in genereal)...
however, I just read some more and found out about some bales a few years back were screwed up at the facotry... so this is what i may have read... sorry for misinformation and comincation....
Try straight Coco, you'll never look back.
Coco, my question is can you continue to use your Botanicare nutes or whatever, or do you need to use nutes specifically made for the coco? Is it a good idea to cut it with something else? What about in a DWC, like a 5 gallon bucket with a 6 inch net pot how would that work? I have read some about coco seems intresting.:)
Yes, DO pay attention to the dates that a post is written. You might be reading about a problem that no longer is an issue, or how things USED to be.
For instance, I've noticed that Premier Horticulture seems to have changed ProMix's ingredients: older posts talk about adding vermiculite to a particular product to make it like another mix (to turn ProMix HP into BX), but currently they BOTH contain perlite and vermiculite (even in the same ration). So, I guess this is a recent development.
There may be many factors to explain why a crop or a growing device might have fail. Perhaps the person posting about the problem is blaming the wrong set of circumstances for the failure.
I often try to find concensus among various sources, where more than one person or source is in agreement with others (hopefully the majority). But, then again, someone might be repeating info that they've heard elsewhere without the benefit of any first-hand experience. Who knows?
With coco, you should use nutes that are made for coco, or at least give extra calcium in the form of a CalMag Plus supplement. That's a coco 'thing' - Ca deficiencies.
Also, many people find that cutting the coco with perlite significantly helps drainage.
Feeding and watering coco is most easily done with drip-to-waste, but you can hand water IF you can guarantee that the medium will never fully dessicate. Once it is allowed to do that, it is difficult to re-wet, and may start causing problems.
