Opposite for me. Tried coco almost 20 years ago and it worked the shits. Was using Sunshine Mix #4 at the time. Crappy coco tho in a rock hard brick that likely needed a good flushing before use but I had no idea.

ProMix makes many blends with coco too but we never see anything but HP, Veg and Herb and their potting soil blend around here so that's what I use and have gotten used to it. Just using the HP now.



Their Veg and Herb has time release nutes in it and seems to give the same problems as Miracle Gro crap but at least the nutes in ProMix are organic. Even says on the bag to mix 50:50 with inert stuff to dilute the nutes. I've used it with just some added perlite to veg pot to 2ft tall and it worked really well. The HP has no nutes but all the perlite I want right out of the bag so as I use hydro nutes it's perfect for that.

I don't grow pot outside but why would it go to shit out there? Mostly peat and should break down fairly rapidly from bacterial decomposition but that's to be expected as just plain peat will do the same. I could see coco lasting longer as it seems to be a tougher fiber.

When you prefer a different product there is no need to get all up in arms about your preferences. Makes you look petty and trollish.

Different strokes for different folks ya know. I prefer an overhand grip with coconut oil and you may prefer a traditional grip with vaseline. Whatever rocks your boat is fine with me. ;)

:peace:
well versed thanks..
Promix is the worst shit anyone could use.
Its a known fact actually!!
You have to know how to grow in a mix with NO NUTES IN IT! unlike promix which can be very hot and fucks yer cycle up from the start..
people think 10 or 12 weeks is a long time lol..
not when it takes a couple weeks to fix an issue
if it is indeed fixable.. lol

next!
The worst medium ever put on the market.
.for commercial shit shwga growing at best lol

HP has no nutes so that's why I'm using it only now.

You should stick to your rant threads about pot laws and LPs. Almost makes sense there as you sound like a whiny bitch in here.

Certified organic ProMix HP is an excellent media of it's type if not a lot better than most.

Ranting about what you know nothing about only makes you look foolish and uninformed. Stick to what you might know something about.

You know what works better than any soil/soiless mix? Roots in water hydro. I just like to slum it in dirtbag ville every now and then.

I explained the difference between the ProMix with nutes and HP a page ago.

Try understanding what you read before shooting your yap off maybe.

It amazes me how some people can't just state their reasons for opposition to a product and offer suggestions for what they feel is a better alternative without coming out of the gate guns a-blazing like some sawed-off Yosemite Sam cartoon character.

What’s the drying time like?
Comparison to pro mix ?
sounds more like an issue with pot size and over watering.

all substrates will all stay wet if the plants cant drink properly or the roots have not filled out the container yet...
