You seem like a troll. Organics + coco + knowledge + experience= possible. Is it recommended? No. Is it doable with good results. Yes

I never said 100% coco was doable with organics. I've stated the opposite several times on this post alone.
I'm asking because the first time grower here is trying that right now, he's growing in 100% Coco using organic fertilizer at the moment. Unless I read his post wrong? I'm all about healthy discussions, not questioning your knowledge, or anybody's experiences here, my questions are just for confirmations on my thought process and ideas. I'm comfortable with making mistakes and being wrong all part of the learning process but if I'm right I like to know that too.

Yes but im just letting you know its impossible to grow using dry amendments in 100% coco, the op had mentioned 25% ratio of worm castings in the coco which is enough. His problem was watering until runoff and too low of a ph. My comment about trolling was directed at that billy dude not you my man lol

Yes thats how I grow. I was raised by a greenthumb and have been growing stuff since i was a little guy.
Why would I want to use anything but my tap water?
tap is not organic..
Yeah that's exactly what I've been saying the whole time man. Lol it's like you read coco and organics and ptsd set in and reading stopped.
im not questioning you or doubt you, just some people have better water supply than others.. i kind of messed up on this and i beg your pardon.. i thought op was using cal mag which in theory will kill the little micro heard he has with the castings.. i wouldnt puchase 1.5 cubic bags for 35 buck if i could get a bale of 3.0 compressed for the same price.. if it wasnt for simplicity

It's all good man, just felt like i was being attack hahaha. I'm on well water, it's as organic as a chemical compound H2O and other minerals present in my water. If you use crap water with chloramine it might be a different story.
