Those results you posted are impressive. So far though, the only Coconut coir I have found at Home Depot was those disks you use to line wire frames for potted plants. I'm going to look around for ground up coir. This nutrient solution you use, is there a recipe for it?

it holds a lot of water, the same is not more than soil. but it dries out pretty quick, at least for me it does. and thats why I, along with others i know, either water twice a day, or have a drip style system set up.
do you have any grow stores nearby? i have never seen growing coco at home depot. I just picked up some general hydroponics coco tek compressed bricks, to test this brand out. since I'm using general hydroponics nutrients it makes sense to me.
the nutrient solution is a 3 part from general hydroponics, the flora micro, flora bloom, and flora grow. but the flora grow is not needed. this is the recipe i use. for veg: 5ml per gal. of flora micro and 10ml per gal. of flora bloom. and for flower: 8ml per gal. of flora micro and 16ml per gal. of flora bloom. a good friend of mine told me to google lucas formula, and thats what i found. and it works wonders.
