I just want to give my testimony to coco use, for those of you that are considering using coco as your medium. first off, I along with many others consider coco as hydroponics. and if you treat it like hydro you will get hydro results with your growth. I as with a few people that i know that use coco like to use the lucas formula for nutrients, with a little bit of added cal-mag every so often. and also i hand water because i do not have the means to setup a drip system. i was told to water twice a day, and that has worked great for me. in a #5 smart pot i water with half a 1/3 gallon twice a day, and flush every 2 weeks. with a gallon container, i water twice a day with about a liter each time. sometimes i am not home for the morning watering, and even if i miss that watering it doesn't dry out enough to hurt the plant. then i just water a little more at night time.

So anyways i want to show you some pictures now of some clones i have. the first 4 plants are in coco, in a gallon container, getting water twice a day with the lucas formula, with added cal-mag once a week.

The other 2 plants are in soil in a gallon container, getting watered when soil gets dry with botanicare's pure blend pro, with added cal-mag every third watering.

And keep in mind ALL the clones are EXACTLY the same age. i took many clones and these ones all rooted at the same time and were all planted into their medium on the same day. they are all under the same conditions, 250W MH, with a temp. of 76. and a nice breeze blowing on them all day.

here is the first clone in coco, Super Silver Haze.

here is the next coco clone, God Bud.

here is coco clone number 3, Purple Shaman.

here is clone number 4 in coco, Sour Diesel.

and here is clone number 1 in soil, Super Silver Haze.

here's soil clone number 2, God Bud.

i didn't make this thread to say soil growing is inferior, i just wanted to show people my experience with coco growing, to give people that were considering coco a little more info. to help their decision making. so that when people search "coco" they can look at this and get just a little more info. about coco. so i hope this helps, even if just one person gets help from this thread i will be happy.

Stay High
