Been growing in coco for 10+ years with really really good results. But as of late I have been having issues. I use the cheapest blocked coco I can find on Amazon (nearest store is over 2hrs away). I don't rinse it or buffer it, like some suggest (never have). I suspect this is part of my issues. I just don't have the setup to run and drain a bunch of water.
I am looking for more consistency. I am thinking about jumping ship to a soilless pre mix. something like pro/sunshine-mix.
But I am not sure if I treat them differently? I premix a 25g reservoir and feed from that. Plants are in #5(t) pots.
In coco I water every day. I pick up the pot to gauge how much to water. How does this differ with pro-mix? Do I let it dry back more?
In coco I keep my pH between 5.6-6.2. How does this differ with pro-mix?
I grow using Masterblend+calnit+Mg
Is there really much of a difference between coco and a pro-mix, in terms of how its treated?
Any help?
Thanks!!!
ps; i'm using pro-mix as a generic term for a soilless mix. I know there are several brands of soilless mixes. ☺
