Beneficial bacterias application in coco (Hydroguard) QUESTION?

Greetings Everyone,
i just wanted to ask a rapid but pretty controverse question to all you experienced growers:
Using beneficial bacterias in soil-less media like coco/perlite mix, i’m using hydro guard, which kind of application would be the most efficient? Despite of what adviced by Botanicare..
Do the bennies colonize the substrate and stay there for the rest of the cycle just with a couple of application? (supposing that they would be fed by exudates and organic amendments)
Or they get “flushed” away when watering with the usual 30% runoff, so you would need to add them every couple waterings?
Thank you
P.s. I water or feed every other day, but the plant is outdoor so sometimes the pot get flushed with rain

Helli giantcola,

IMO Coco isnt good for organics bc of the flush thingy, unuseable lignin, plus whatever you put in for airation also is mostly inert.
Or if you amend with some organic stuff like compost, worm castings etc itll decrease the breathability...

Coco is good for mineralic feed imo

not saying necessarily it cant be done or setup, just is more difficult because some concepts/ingredients just dont add up very well.

outdoor organic a supersoil is cool - bc the ingredients wont get washed out and bacteria just stay in the increments.

thats what "mothersoil" actually is - broken down organic compounds.

btw your scrogg report was nice to watch - how long was the trimming? :P
