Hey all. I've been growing using coco for around 9 months and reckon its the best medium i've used. Bigger chunkier buds over soil etc.
A friend of mine has just started growing using coco and has been reading the forums here. He's been winding me up, telling me that I'm not keeping my plants wet enough because the top inch or so of my 75liter pots are dry. I can tell by the weight of them that there is plenty of water in them and after giving them a good watering with around 10-15% runnoff they take over two weeks, even three to completely dry out or feel lighter. I don't see any advantage of pummeling them with more water when imao they have plenty and will perform better slightly drier but not dry! I even heard somewhere that Canna recomends that you let the substrate dry a little before rewatering for best results.
Btw my plants are in 75 liter pots and are 2 foot, still in veg.
Please give me your educated opinion
cheers RR
