If yer in the COgr coco, that'll never fully dry out- you want to see a small (5-10%) runnoff every time you water. Designed to be ued w/ auto drip irrigation- most folks hit w/ 50-100ml over several minutes, 2-8 cycle per day. Gotten away w/ handwatering, but would really like daily.

If yer in the BioTerra mix, water it like a potting soil, but try to make sure that you're getting some runoff on a regular basis- maybe hard water once a week, and then as needed other days.

The moment that there is rotting organic material in a planting mix, it becomes soil. You may still want to treat it as soilless, depending on ratios, but technically it's a soil. F'rinstance, I'd go lighter on the N first couple weeks of flower in a mix like that than I would in a straight soilless, as there's slow release N from the FF that you want to get consumed, and you don't want to deal w/ high residual N in late flower.

My $.02 US- not worth much, and losing value every day.
rhizome Reviewed by rhizome on . watering/feeding soiless mix help?? please. Good day folks. I have been bouncing this around in my head for a few days and just realized the smarter thing to do would be to ask ya'll. I have been growing in two separate mediums. For one i have been using Ocean forest soil. The other i have been using Canna coco. I mix both with about a 1/3 perlite. I have found the Ocean forest to be a little too rich or hot. The coco/perlite a bit difficult because i am hand watering and the frequency is tough. The coco side by side with the Rating: 5
