I prolly cut down beneficial minerals from inconsequential to infinitesimal. Halved the salt. If this was chess, that'd be a good move.

The coco was scarin' me. I had expected it to explode immediately. Think the soil ball insulated it.

It'll take a week or two for coco's advantage to make a difference and it will not be as dramatic as the early growth is.
My A/B photos were kind of misleading.
FFOF stunted the pepper seedlings because it was too "hot" for kids. And they never fully recovered.
The main advantage of the coco was nute titration with full control.
Started out at 1/4 strength and bumped it a little as the girls grew and asked me for more.

The soil team plants have had every advantage; at least I can avoid poisoning the coco plants--that's only fair. I'm being rather nonchalant about the pH, if that makes any difference. I know this coco is nicely acidic.

Not really.
Peat is acidic, coco is almost neutral.
Brings almost nothing to the party.
So, until you mix in the nutes and run it through the coco, your PH tester will be tellin' lies about acidity.

Can't water to runoff, so I don't know what the soil conditions are. :smokin:
There are plenty drainage holes though, yah?
It'll get "swampy" real fast without them.
Next time you set girls inna tub/shower for a flush, grab a cup of the drippings and test da hell out of it.

Lurkin' and kibbitzing,
Weeze

PS It's your move in stoner chess.:jointsmile:
