Oh yea, How much worm castings should i add to my coco?
Currently using 70/30 coco and perlite mix in 1gal pots.
Sorry if this has already been asked.

don't add any worm castings to your coco. coco works best on its own. a layer of hydro ton under the coco to make it drain even better is ok, if the hydro ton has been washed properly.

i'm not exactly a long standing member, but i have pmed GN and OP asking for a coco section or even sub section lol. i'm sure it would be a positive addition to ic-mag.

i shall inquire once more, if there is any news on this subject, it does seem like more and more people are using coco in one way or another. i have been hoping for a coco forum since back in the og days. but maybe the time has come eh?

Coco is my medium of choice(nothing added) and has been for 4 years now, i use a combination of Canna A+B, B.Cuzz coco booster, B.cuzz bloom stimulator, Rizotonic and Cannazym and have never had any deficiencies.
We really need a coco forum, seems many many people are realising the benefits of its use and it would be nice to have somewhere a little bigger that this thread to share our ideas and methods, i am sure lots of valuable information is being missed by it being scattered about the wa it is.
Maybe a late xmas present for us? Fingers crossed.
Peace

Would you moderate it truecannabliss? I think you'd be perfect for it....anyways thanks for fighting for us guys....

At least a soilless forum....

Coco is a medium in which all growers can come together....hydro growers convert.....soil growers convert...some automate...others do not.....

Fingers crossed.....

Any clues on what strength Rhizo to use with young seedlings? These are straight out of the paper towels and into Canna coco (no perlite).

I heard it was very close to canna. I remember seeing a side by side done but don't remember seeing the end results. My local store told me the house and garden was better but then again they dont carry canna....
I use canna.

Hmmmmmmm,,,,interesting.

Ok.... my first figure is from canna's coco grow guide on their website. It actually says there to go with 4 ml per litre the first week,,,,then drop to 1-2ml per litre from week 2. Sorry,,, didnt mention the 4ml per bit ~ stoned :D

Anyways,,, apart from that i've got two (different style) bottles of Rhizo in front of me with 2 different figures.

One says : 1:250 ie 20ml per 5L water. (4ml / 1L)
Other says 1:200 ie 20ml per 10L water. (2ml / 1L)

That last figure is from, what i call,, the "new" bottles,,,,,,the ones shaped exactly the same as their twin capped nute bottles. Funny thing is,, 1:200 is not 20ml per 10L as stated on the bottle.:D Like you said Hazy,,,it should be 5ml per litre,,or 50ml per 10L.

So to conclude Bongoman,,, you've got 4 choices i think...lol

I've been using it at 20ml per 10L litres throughout veg,,,dropping to 5ml per 10L for the first 6 weeks flowering with excellant root growth and health.... what do you others use it at???
