Im a kinda wing it as u go along type of guy but saying that i do understand what my plants need....
well more that the wife.lol

I just mix up coco with perlite bout a 70/30 mix and pack it in. Canna coco a+b right through with a bit of pk13/14 about 4th week of flower and overdrive boost for the duration. Simple as can be
ok so is coco like a type of peat then? and you put it in pots like soil? with perlite? How is this better than soil,is it because it has no nutes and you can ccontrol what you give them? sorry to sound dumb but this is only my second grow.

Coco is made from coconuts.
Yes.
If you want to.
Yes. Coco is a neutral medium, which means it has no nutrient content. So you are in control of what your plants get and when.
I forgive you.

Coco is fibre from the coconut plant. Yeah u just shove it in like soil(I add perlite for airiation, if thats a word) and you hit the nail on the head, its nute free. You lose a little taste but if u use something like Ripen for the last couple of weeks it helps with flavour. Its also real fucking hard to overwater and alot easier to flush if u overfeed

well chaps that sounds good to me. Can you by it at normal garden centres or do you have to go to hydroponics shops? Also can i still use all the Plagron nutes i have or do you have to buy another type?

I would just order the coco online. Mostly it comes in blocks and u have to soak in water but recently I bought shit already broken up. Ill see if I can find the link. Personally I would use canna coco a + b, which u use from start to finish and chuck in a couple of boosters in flower. Think its about £60 for 10ls of each which will last ages.....
