[quote=Weezard]"You use coconut in your net pot? Would you net pot hold the coconut inside it? I have some coconut but I haven't used it since I repotted my first soil grow. I had given up using coconut since I have switched to hydro grow. I wonder if it is possible to post a pic showing how net pot could hold coconut inside... Do you use rockwool along with coconut inside your net pot?

Thanks...~ :thumbsup:

Sure no problem.

I call it "Bubbaponics" 'cause it's cheap and easy.
And, no, there's no need for rockwool.
It would cause the PH to rise. Coco, won't.:thumbsup:


Then it makes roots.

These are from a tomato plant grown in a rubbermaid tub.
with a single airstone and air pump. No water pump, no timers, no super, goodie-go-fast, additives
Just 1 tsp Dyna-gro per gallon of tap water and a half teaspoon CalMag. (I have soft tap water)


Note to NotoriousB:
It's not aerogarden, it's bubbaponics.
I do not own an aerogarden, I roll my own.

Hi Weezard,

Thanks for providing these two pics.
Just wondering, is that really the coconut coir inside the net pot of your first pic( I had to ask cauze I can't really make out what's inside the net pot) ?

Before seeing this pic, I would have imagined these coco fibers falling off the net holes, but they didnā??t . If it's really coconut fiber, then.. that's very good.

Maybe I should try my coconut coir in my hydro system because I was just about to buy more hydrotons and probably wondering why my ph keep getting even higher.

So.. do you germinate or start your seedlings on coconut coir right from the beginning?
