A bit of background first - Recently growing again due to lack of a job (Such a bad mix when i have to venture out into public, unemployed and a stoner is just one up from a complete bum round my town!

So all available soils are really strong and after a trial run with bagseed in seedling soil from germination then cutting in some potting soil for veg using no ferts just good tap water ive been burnt at every stage. One plants just about made it and growth rates were amazing, the others just starting to show good growth after two weeks of claw stunted puckered leaves crap stuff and my F1 sweet neat toms are purpling to the max.

Now i can obviously spot nutrient stress and especially so in the bush type tomatos so time has come for me to trash this and restart with some great genetics and a lighter soil. (Think i like growing toms more than weed and all them F1 auto bush varieties grow about the same height as a lowryder)

Ive gone for a bag of Plagron unfertilized cana coco and can obtain perlite as well

Questions-

#Can i mix soil and coco and to what percentages to still treat it as a soil not hydro?

#Will this work to lighten up the soils already high nutrient level?

#Do i need perlite as could possibly the coco soil mix stay wetter for a lot longer than just plain soil?

#Plagron unferted coco... Need to add cal/mag or wash first or just use as it is?

#What the fu€k do women do in the bathroom all the time, you know when the one women says "Oh i need the bathroon" and then every woman in a six foot radius suddenly has to go at that exact moment to. Like whats with that cause i tried to get my guyfriends to do the same thing and they just called me a homo and wont return any of my calls...?

If anyone can answer these questions i would probably think their just great but especially that last question as my counsellor said it would violate my bail conditions should i use the option of a secret camera to record their weird behaviour. Believe me soil/coco mix is the last stuff you wana be worrying about in the can.

Thankyou in advance :-)

Hey, I don't know about everything else, but use happy frog to start(first couple weeks), and then pot up to something "hotter" like ocean forest;-)

There are allot of soils out nowadays that are amended with coco. I'm sure it will "cool" down a hot soil mix. How much coco to add? I dunno? But i picture making a 2/3 coco + 1/3 perlite mix. Then mix that 50/50 with your seedling soil. That should work. And then pot up to something hotter before they run out of organic matter;-)
Btw......i'm pretty sure all the chicks gather in the bathroom, to evacuate their farts? And to talk shit. Not 100% positive though

Yes i might just be panicking due to inexperience with coco and thanks for the help/encouragment.

I gave my soil plants a good flush last night just to see if i could wash some nutes out of the soil and they look much better today. Woman in hydro shop said i could just flush my seedling soil and that would lighten the nutes in it plus i remember it was sort of what i use to do.

I prefer to go down the route of making a starting seedling mix as like the idea of it being more dialled in and exact.

# Thats why the womans bathroom always smells off then ;-)

Yer i wouldnt be doing it either except needs must and most garden outdoor mixes round here seem to be incorporating it in. Grass lawn seed repairer is heavy in it too, the stuff you patch your garden with.

Blueberries... dont they like very acidic soils of top of my head?
