Says the guy that titled his thread “pole” when he really meant “poll”. Don’t insult others intelligence when you make 3rd grade mistakes.

Perhaps he was referring to his own comprehension.

Never made sense to me, but a guy I knew did this and fed whatever organic coco food while trying to build that micro herd in the soil. It sort of makes sense, but I think full coco and using some sort of trace element mix would get you there just as well.

Im a newb, 2nd grow coco screwed me up, Coco loco

that stuff holds way too much water

that stuff holds way too much water

THIS is why i cant understand everybody using coco as a hydro medium. Im not saying its bad at all , im just saying its not inert by no means. It holds bacteria and probably has some in it already , so i figure make the best use of it

yea but coco loco isn't just coco...it's got castings and guano and a few other additives....holds a ton of water

but i use it more like peat in a bigger pot - water every 2 or 3 days depending on everything else - some ppl like to use it like a hydro medium and swear by it, but im not at all interested in using it like that

it always cracks me up when ppl say you can't over-water coco....you most certainly can over-water coco....that might be worse than the "you need cal-mag" fictitious tale

You can not over water coco with a plant that is fully rooted. You can over water coco with a plant with no root system.

I may make some grammar mistakes, but im not stupid. Alot of smart people make grammar mistakes. I also was high when doing it, so ya. I didn't get on the deans list for the academic year of 2017 being stupid, and I didn't graduate with a GPA of 3.03 taking a bachelors in business management degree being stupid either.

All that bragging and you cant get through a grow. Must have been purchasing your answers like most kids nowadays. Gl kid

You can’t even figure out a wet plant doesn’t need water

that school should have it’s ability to give out college diplomas revoked

Coco is hydro and inert.

I have to disagree. By definition , it is hydro. It is not inert. It just dont have food in it. Add dry food and its no longer inert. Its almost identical to peat moss. By definition , peat moss is also hydro but its not inert and its not used in hydro very often.
I suppose i just have pumice and perlite in my head as inert.....but thats the true definition of inert. Does almost nothing for the plant beside stabilize and aerate the roots.
Dont coco have k in it already ? Both peat and coco can contain bacteria and most do.

If coco is not inert, then exactly which nutrients does it provide to plants on it’s own?
