I do like te way soil bud tastes, but for me the benefits of coco outweigh the sacrifice of a bit of earthy taste. The growth and vigor just dominates.
IMO coco is kind of like soil and hydro's love child.. best of both worlds.
Coco is technically classified as hydro though, because the medium is inert.
Puffenuff was growing in coco for the led party cup competition and he was the first one to show sex, the first one to harvest, by far!! I didnt realise coco was so close to hydro, dont you think you can have similar than soil as far as taste goes?
Hi Cletusboost, what is the difference between your day (lights on) and night (lights off) temps? A good way to control stretch is to minimise fluctuation from your day to night temps.
There's a good article here:

Also lamp height is important, if the lamp is too far the plants will stretch for the light, its good to have adequate cooling to keep the light close enough to the plants to minimise this
it could just be down to genetics, last plants were Tahoe OG's were stretchy as hell.. temp control didn't help
its just how they are.
Thanx again. I've been through all 900+ pages. Awesome! ? though, do yall run hps from the start? Thats where im at now and they seem to get to tall to fast. To the point of not being able to hold their own weight. I know this is all 12/12fs and thats what I'm doing. I have a dual spec 400 watt hps. I'm I going wrong somewhere? Oh! 800+ pages took a few days 2 get through it all, so 900+ 800+ whats the dif eh!
