I also may have been not doing it perfectly, but I was watering the same wa I would a peat based mix, not to mention I've grown a TON of different plants, from orchids, to violets, bougainvillea, begonias, jasmin, lavender, bamboo, etc, etc, etc.Greasemonkeyman had similar results too, but DP and DT rock it and seem to do great with it.
My grows were by no means anything controlled or scientific. Just my observation. Could have been a case of me not being familiar with it so I could very well have been under/over watering or something.
I can't fathom it being a totally different concept, to be honest I attributed it to possibly the coco having too much salt in it or something (course I soaked and rinsed it).
the plants didn't look bad, no visible problems, just about 7/8 ths of what I normally get. Some may not even notice, but I had been running the same three strains for years at the time and I knew exactly what they where capable of. Not to mention as soon as I went back to a peat base, it was back to normal.
