Bubble tea was the worst.

I love a bubble tea! it's candy at the bottom of your tea, lol. I can take or leave crunchy peanut butter.

Not true, I love fruit. It's chunks and crunchy seeds in a food that supposed to be smooth.

It's limited. Like your personality.

That was a fuck you, just so there's no ambiguity.

I have converted a few peanut butter lovers over to the crunchy side.

Granted, they were children, and granted, it was take it or leave it, but still, they are converts!! "hey, this is pretty good!"

And the dabs did take my mind off donuts....I even hung 2 corner shelves I bought over the winter for the bathrooms. Only took 3 months to hang them....and 1 large fan has been cleaned, with another in soaking mode.

Better do another dab

I stopped using perlite. It's so expensive for something that weighs so little. Some hardware stores will have a few coco bricks near the soil, usually cheap too. Check the corners

Yeah I see some growers use it with coco and some don't. I wonder if it really does help with root grow.

Maybe I'll try a few with and without perlite. Or at least research it more.

I buy from this place. $40 for 4 cu. ft. They are great for all kinds of growing gardening stuff. They have coco as well. Looks like they are expanding into hydroponics. I used to grow 5 gallon hempy buckets 100% perlite. It was a fun style of growing but perlite is harder to clean and reuse than other media so I quit.

Thanks, that's even better!! I bookmarked them for future use. They are currently OOS, plus I already ordered from Home depot.

I just read an article that sold me on the benefits of using perlite with the coco.....and they were also talking about growing in straight perlite...

Coco Coir vs Perlite: Which is Best?

For plants, adding coco coir to existing garden soil might be beneficial. The coir will soften clay's texture, bringing a varied mix of fluid retention and organic drainage, decreasing waterlogging. This can also be achieved

Now all I need to do is wait for everything to get here....and get my tent cleared out!

 

[raratt]

This is what I grow in, has all kinds of good stuff like bat shit. Last time I picked some up it was about $20 for 3 CF.
"25-35% coco fiber, perlite, aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss, coco chips, fish bone meal, basalt, bat guano, dolomite (PH adjuster) feather meal, kelp meal, gypsum."
Seems to work OK.
Edit to add pic that didn't work the first time.

I'm stoked to see the difference between your soil and coco grows

Do you have nutrients?

^^^^^

 

[Laughing Grass]

^^^^^

ah your pic wasn't showing up when I replied

So that's no longer hydroponics. Do you use soil nutrients? I tried coco loco and had burn issues.

 

[manfredo]

I ordered Canna Coco bricks....6 of them, which will give me roughly 30 gallons of product, and then 15 gallons of course perlite. That will be my mix.

Me too!!

I have GH Flora series, Calmag, and most all of the add ons for the Flora series, which I know aren't necessary. I just mixed up a bucket for my outside gals to jumpstart them

What was the other thing someone told me to buy to go with the GH Flora for coco???

I use coco pith so I need perlite (xlg) If you have coir you won't need it but if you have pith I'd use it, ymmv
