hello all, i recently bought a bunch of black gold soil and a couple blocks of coco fibers.the store had two differnt kinds and i got the more expensive ones. anyways i was woderning if anyone had possibly used a 50/50 mix of the two and how the grow went? also if anyone had tips on coco, i've heard something about that it absorbs the calcium and magnesium* and that it requires a proper flush every couple of weeks and to suppliment with cal mag, is this true? good adive gets rep!!!!!
you should search around GC for some coco-growing information... thres some amazing stuff to see. the cal-mag deficiencies are an issue in coco. think about amending for it. if you are going soilless-- all coco-- you might want to add things like dolomite lime, dry molasses, bone meal, and other sources of primar secondary and micro nutrients for your plants. I've seen 50/50 mix you asked about. results unremarkable. if you're indoors just don't use soil- it attracts bugs and the water PH should be at 6.5-- coco is best fed with water ph'd at 5.6-6.0... these are just some issues to think about if you choose to use both...
