High ICMAG Coco-growers Here is mine:
50/50 coco/perlite
Botanicare cocogrow
Fox Farm Perlite (chunky)
I like delivering DO (Dissolved Oxygen) to the rootzone....hence the chunky Fox Farm perlite. I'd advise anyone considering perlite to avoid any "cheapo" brands...like the Home Depot stuff...it can get "mushy" and inhibit proper drainage...this is important...
I handwater daily...run to waste....if I forget or get lazy...no biggie....coco is very forgiving.
I like to break up my Botanicare coco so I can evenly mix it...not like powder...but fine pieces....the stuff can get dusty....
The Botanicare coco does not require prepping....just water the mix and let it aborb it. Be careful to leave some space in the container(s), as the coco will expand....I like leaving a few inches from the top of the container (a gap)....can always add more...if need be :smile:
