I used coco for a few grows and just fed all the time....with the odd water. I found it pretty easy, never ph'd or nowt, but then I have never ph'd. I was actually thinking of buying a ph pen recently....ended up buying crayons for the yin instead, lol.

I agree but coir, dwc or hydro are totally different games and need careful attention.

:peace:

The main difference I've seen in dwc are strains clearly preferring different ppm/feeding strengths. Ran a cut of AK47 that easily gobbled up 1500ppm, then the ?p seemed happiest at like 600ppm,,, both got the same nutes just different strengths.

Never messed with coco, been wanting to play with it. I've been most comfortable with soils.

Not the way I grew. My hydro setup required little to no attention. Soil on the other hand needs to be looked after every day in my experience. Hydro is SO SO SO much easier, simpler and less work than soil. For me at least.
I find it so easy to read a plant in soil, soil gives a lot of latitude and you just have to keep
the soil happy and the soil keeps the plant happy. I grew up dirt gardening so it's instinctual.
I guess it's what your used to. Your plants have always been A+ in the pics I've seen.
Either way comfortable growing = happy plants, that's all that counts.

Papa all your plants are gorgeous but that Dog is fanfuckintastic! your yard must
smell great in late Sept. early Oct.

:peace:
thanks man! Yea the dog...shes a fucking beast. Very happy to have her in my garden, and she will definitely be a permanent fixture. Misses and I love the smoke.

As far as smells, As it is, at night we get wafts of cheese and skunk smells with the wind blows thru the windows so i can only imagine what sept will bring.

I thought you might like some history behind your dog.
I had a problem a few years ago and lost almost all strains. I emailed DST and he sent three 2010 Dog beans. One didn't make it, one didn't have the best characteristics and then you have strain that we have. You have grown the biggest one I have ever seen and I'm looking forward to see her finish.
A friend had one that was over 6' tall when the deer ate her.

:peace:

In my exp a well rounded soil will keep most strains happy, as I guess they tend to take what they need (not root bound and no bottled nutes needed) but that's not to say some strains don't prefer a different diet than others.

... I know, real helpful, I tried lol.
I agree a good soil and they all seem to get what they want. I have to say these 8 plants 5 different strains and they seam to like the organic touch;)
