Goodmorning friend. I took time and read down your post. It sparked a question .
Now that you have used the coco for a bit, how do ya like it?
I myself has been watching users with coco for a while. Wondering how you felt so far.
Have you got past your learning curve yet?
@kw_Bat So far I really like it! It seems to be a little more involved than using soil. In my first attempt with soil I would get bored in between waterings. But pretty much this whole grow I have been feeding it multiple times per day. I’m in 100% canna coco no perlite. I check the run off EC and pH after every feed. Also the plant seems to grow faster in the coco. The plant I have right now was much bigger at day 21 than the last one in the fox farms. Granted I’d need a bigger sample size to really confirm. I feel like I still have things to learn about the medium coco, but I’m definitely pretty comfortable with it.

I noticed these little leaf growing from the base of the stalk. So cute lol
I know whst you need, more plants. That would fix that. ![]()
Thank-you for your response. Your experience is exactly what i was wanting to know.
The key take away for me.
Coco requires the gardener to stay connected with the plant 24/7. You have to know the plant. This keeps the gardener totaly synched with the plant. This sych ahould be done in any medium i feel, but, coco demands it.
It appears to me that coco forces a person to stay connected.
Nutin wrong with growing in that stuff. It will maximize plant size in a small space.
It would be a chore for me. I have many plants. I already make up water every day. I have 30 plants currently running. I could not sustain the work involved in my set up.
Hey. Thanks again friend.
PS. If i had one or two plants. Coco is a great way to go.
Yeah having that many plants would be insanely cool. That would probably require some automation in coco. A lot of coco people have pumps and things set up or they use bottom watering bases. I just don’t have a lot going on and I only have the one main plant right now. So I don’t mind getting up close and personal with her. Maybe one day I’ll have an operation as big as yours
. I would love to have like a cannabis nursery.
Coco is bad to the bone.
I guess i have tried to justify the use of coco for me. I see stuff going on wkth others on the net and wanna do what they do. I guess i am wasy influenced by others.
Still, for me i comes back to what i have always said. What we use to grow is determined by our grow space and our poverty level.
I grew out of a 14 x 14x 36 tent for 3 years. I grew some of the best weed i vever smoke in that thing. I had a HLG288 hanging sideways right up on top of them. Rock hard buds like you wouldn’t believe..
If i ever get a chance i will try coco medium and living soil as well, just so i have the experience. Both are bad bass
I respond slow. On a cell. Cant see, cant spell, i am plucked.
Hey it’s all good man I’m on my phone too. Yeah I have interest and trying all the mediums. I wanna be able to grow no matter what I have access too.

After experiencing what I and others believe to be a possible power issue. I have evaluated my setup and made the one adjustment I could make. That is plugging my 300w light directly into the wall. Eliminating 25 ft of unnecessary wire between it and the breaker. I hope that I don’t experience more issues later if I have both lights cranked up. Right now one tents light is on its lowest setting.
Anytime I move something in my setup it leaves me twitching a bit untill I know it’s preforming the same or better than it was before. I don’t really like to move things once they are set up. With that said I kind of want to move my main plant under the more powerful light. But that involves moving multiple things and seems like too much. I am obsessing a bit about trying to be as absolutely perfect as I can be and it’s exhausting.
Where you at @NewGrower31?
Two days no updates having me concerned.
Hoping you’re just out doing something fun for yourself. ![]()
Yeah, @NewGrower31 i am.with @Smoke_bz
You good @NewGrower31
Hey good morning everyone. I am alright and the plant is to. I’ve been writing my numbers down sorry for the brief disappearence. Struggling with mental health issues. Thank you all for the concern, warms my heart.
