coco vs ffof......yeild?

[dragunn]

how much more of a yeild i can expect using coco?

 

[SmilinBob]

Way to many variables for anyone to answer that question correctly.

But as long as we are speculating.. an extra .25 gpw

enjoy watering 100x more with coco, if not frequency, volume.

Say what???? I just set up a dripper and have to refill the bucket every 3 days or so. My plants are 3-4times the size from my last soil grow. These are the same stains. Work smarter not harder.

I think ffof vs coco is like hydro vs organic... u will yield more with coco, but the flavor / smell could be diferent, and the biggets factor to me is that the actual plant matter (not trichomes) seems to be harsher when going all out hydro..

Organic coco is working great for me. Hand water every other day. No problem.

May I ask what you are feeding them? Thank you in advance.

I did coco one of my first grows, turned out pretty good but definitely a pretty big hassle. organic soil is just way more stress free imo. I yield more with the soil but I'm sure if I dialed in the coco it would give me the same if not more, dealing with ph'ing and watering is not worth it tho for me.

Two cuts taken from the same mom at the same time. Nothing different other than medium. You can clearly see that the clones have identical structure, they even lean to the same side.
Coco will out yield soil.

definately coco ive had plants yield in the 2 pound range with coco in a 5 gallon never been able to do that in soil with the same size pot.

General Organics. (I believe you can still get the sample pack from GH for the cost of shipping if you send them an email--just don't mention what you're growing) I like it and will probably buy some when my samples run out.

I mix some mycorrhizae throughout the coco along with some perlite. I've also recently started adding a bit of diatomaceous earth for pest prevention and a silica boost. Tap water run through a Brita filter and stored in gallon jugs.

Evlme2 that is nice as hell right there. Flo-rider

Coco with Canna gave me a good 50% more over FFOF and the FF line on back to back grows.

 

[dragunn]

the comparison shot says it all evlme2.you re-using your coco?i was planning on using the same coco for a year.right now im using fresh ffof every run with canna.

 

[Guest 18340]

I never reuse my coco. No particular reason, I just like starting out with fresh coco.

coco to me is bigger plants of lesser quality, im a soil guy and i think soil grown is better in the high n duration of it as well as taste n smell.

thanks but no thanks

I respect your opinion, but stop giving out false information. The grower and the genetics are what seperates how high you get, the smell, and the taste and nothing else.

I gotta ask, have you ever grown in coco? Or are you basing that on someone elses herb grown in coco?
