Yah well I've have been trying to grow in coco lately with no luck what so ever my seedlings keep dying on me. 2 1/2 to 3 years ago I could grow bushy plants in coco but now I get nothing. :(

So now Im looking for other mediums to try growing in and I have seen ppl on here growing nice and bushy plants in pure perlite. they told me there is no secret but when I try still nothing.

3 parts perlite/1 part vermiculite (small grain) + pinch of blood meal at the bottom.
Water or water & feed about every two days. :tiphat:..excellent for seedling/germination

instead of trying another medium ..... why not go back & fix the problems your having with coco ????

once you know how to treat coco ..... its hard to beat the quality & yields you get in smaller pots of medium . plus i can almost bet your problems are environment related & not the medium itself . its getting cooler this time of year & coco isn't going to dry out as fast . etc .......

I was going to say bet it's ur environment and your over watering as that will kill ur seedlings quick. Coco is a beast of a medium done right. Like dansbuds said don't keep jumping from on method to the other as you won't learn anything plus it will go wrong anyway as its prob ur environment so your just setting yourself up for more headaches/stress/exspence and questions.

So here are some ladies I've had over the past years both indoors and out. I do know how to grow but these days I must some how keep over thinking it. I think you are right, I think I need to get back to my roots and figure out what I'm doing wrong!

First pic is of the first lady I ever had. 14 years ago.
