What’s up dudes, back again— Coco question

It’s been a while, lots of personal shit going on and trying to get my grow room completely dialed in
But I made the mistake of listening to the hydro store douche one time buying soil, and I of course bought a couple bags of an organic coco medium to try it out. Turns out the prebuffer sucks ass as i have top dressed ph buffer and minerals along with some castings and bio char
And shit is it still useless— incredibly SLOW growth, issues with imbalance seemingly every other day
I think I’m on board with Sade after trying a full cycle with this and I fucking HATE coco
At least for organics, this is way too much unnecessary guess work, working with all these inconsistent coco companies
Anyways I think that’s it, if any actual organic coco grower who don’t use bottled nutes can help me decipher this, it would be of much help. Trying to use the rest of this bag of coco before I decide to throw it in the shitter

 

Yea Ive come to find that out myself
But it’s proven it can be done, just come to be extremely tedious. Too much work for organics
Maybe if I was bottle guy this would be for me but nah man
I’m looking for a happy organic medium that can do well indoors and doesn’t need me to baby it all the time

 

also isn’t coco chip or bark-y it is actually textured like soil and was suppose to already pre limed but not well enough apparently
Just sucks because coco does have the potential for putting out great results and is pretty resistant but man is it a bitch and a half

 

@Soil2Coco you’re the only guy in the city I can think of for coco but I can’t recall your grow methods, my apologies if organics aren’t you’re grow style

 

Damn I haven’t been on for a while
Hope everyone’s well

 

Yeah very few do
Just doesn’t make sense when this one was suppose to be potting soil out the bag not any sort of mix
It already came with CSPM and was supposedly lime “buffered” already but I know how coco is with calmag and all.

 

Sounds epic, I’m a big organics guy I have an extensive line up of single ingredient dry amendments along with a whole bunch of other goodies
What do you recommend for a good start recipe? I’m all no till but this cocos been kicking my ass trying to keep it consistent with organics somehow
But I just said f— it after adding a nice looking clone from a local disp. and went ahead an ordered some organic soil I had success with in the past
I didn’t have the amendments I have now so I have no doubt I can cook a nice mix but I wanna try to incorporate the necessities in my new soil, as it isn’t very heavy from what I recall
I have basalts/gypsum/ langbeinite for sulpomag and extra minerals, as well as castings, charged bio char, bio live (DTE; crab/shrimp/fish/fish bone meal, as well as bacteria’s/mycorrhiza), garden lime (slightly similar to dolomitic i believe), as well as a bunch of insect frass, neem/kelp/ and alfalfa meals as well as humics and silica
What would you start with? Hope anyone from no till can chime in on this one as well
High jacked my own thread into a living soil recipe from scratch ha

 

Definitely, I actually bought soil that’s pretty basic, but I’m gonna look for a good living soil mix that at least uses most of the stuff I have and make sure I’m not missing anything for later on
