Yea dean you are correct.. Growing in Coco Coir is Vastly different then growing in Soil. Growing in Coco is more like growing Hydroponics, a neutral growing medium where the water provides all the nutrients. Soil has nutrients.. does not drain fast.. Needs less watering and is a vastly different growing condition vs. Coco. Anyone who says Dirt and Coco are similar has been smoking some crack and/or has no idea what both growing mediums entail..
