Thanks Professor Kind. I grow using Canna Nutrients in Coca 10 gallon pots.

I'm really liking coco coir so far. I'm using Botanicare coir (I believe ). I swapped out peat moss for the coco in my amended organic soil and its kicking ass. I really like the structure and porosity of it over peat moss. Plus it's not so acidic. Win!

That is a beautiful plant btw!

I started using botanicare in the stinkbuddy setup years ago. I loved the nutrient line but had to get away from the disasters that could come w/ hydro. When I switched over to the Coco it was a world of difference, stability of dirt but capabilities of the hydro, I've loved it and been with it ever since.

Shoutout to being from metro Detroit, i'm Downriver just outside the city.

Here is my Blackberry that's also week 5, first time I've ran her. Looks and smells amazing. IMG_0943.JPG

Have you noticed faster growth or yields with the switch from peat to coco? I know people out there are making supercoco like supersoil so maybe you can get some of the hydro growth and yield but still have that the organic soil taste. Thinking of making a batch to try

I'm really liking it so far. I'm noticing healthier plants/leaves which I'm attributing to the coco's texture...assuming more oxygen getting to the roots. The medium is staying fluffier and not compacting like peat does, and I think the ph is staying more in the sweet spot unlike peat which can be very acidic if you're off on the liming. I'm messing around with leaf mold too now and getting great results with that as well. Can't see myself going back to peat ever again.
