Ro be fair the carbon fikter are just backups as my old blue swiftair blie6" is near 5 years and the mountain air filter is around the same so I got my moneys worth n said id splurge on the best fan I could find that wouldn't break the bank

Well I took the plunge and got some coco bricks instead of soil. I discovered a new grow shop opened near where I live so I drove in for a nose and said I'd pick them up as I was there. The decor is store room meets head shop
I also got the distinct impression I might have been the first female to set foot in there! They're only open 2 months so it's a possibility.I have an OG Kush and Skunk XL that should hopefully break ground, either today or tomorrow so I'll be putting them in the coco.

ive always cut it with perlite but this grow im using pure coco and im going to reuse. Theres alot of helpful people in them grow shops just watch they dont reel you in to buy unnecessary things

Up to a few weeks ago I was using all BioBizz but I recently got a promo bag of MegaCrop after hearing so many good things. I'm following this journal if you want to have a nose for yourself, my girls are thriving on it and it's SOOOOOOOO much easier. No mixing nutes, just 1/2g powder per litre of water in early veg and slowly increase dosage as they grow.
If anyone's interested, the promotion is still available - a free 230g bag which will do a few grows, (depending on how many plants you have of course!), just pay for the shipping which was $13.50 from the US. https://greenleafnutrients.com/product/mega-crop/?v=f24485ae434a
Have the perlite too!Sweet you wont be disappointed with the stuff
Today was actually my first time setting foot in a grow shop, I usually do all my shopping online but the shop is like 5mins out the road from me so I couldn't not go.

What ratio you going to use? Id normaly do 70/30.

Looks good but you might want to pick up some epsom salt because coco contains no nutrients and demands a nice bit of calmg but you could be ok with the cal seems to be a nice bit in the mega crop. I just bought 5litres of canna coco so im set for a while lol

If I'm honest, I kinda got the impression I might have known more than they do, and I don't know shit! 
Maybe it was the presence of estrogen that stunned them. 
But anyhoo..... all my root pouches are 12L and each block makes 9L so the ratio is already worked out for me.

Yeah, the mega crop is a complete feed, no other nutes necessary. Have a nose through yer man's journal and you'll see the results for yourself, he's using nothing but megacrop and is completely converted. There are a few other members saying the same.
peace...lol

A great tip for coco uses is to buy some Epsom salts on eBay. Because coco is terrible at holding to magnesium it it absorbs it I can remember I put 4 table spoons in to 220 litres. The sulphates with help with flavour and ripening of your flowers 
also it's nice to add to the foot spa when you get a chance to chill

Just did a bit of research about cob. Never heard of it before til you mentioned it !
What type of light have you got ? Was it expensive ?
I'm blown away by the technology coming out. Some crazy ideas out there.
Here's one cob I read of "The Morsen MAX series". Some of the lights go up to 3600W ! And only use half the power of LEDs.
Fuckin mental shit !

@ThatSpudGuy , can I pick your brain please about the coco bricks? So, according to the instructions I soak the bricks and set nutrient water to a ph of 5.5. My question is, do I soak the bricks in water that has also been set to 5.5? Ta...
