Coco or soil? For easiness and yield

Does growing in coco offer bigger yields than soil or vice versa? And has anyone had good results using biobizz with coco? I’m curious because I'm thinking about trying out an organic coco run.
Solved
Setup. Substrates

Growing in Coco takes ot more of your time up. You need to feed everyday and make sure the substrate does not dry out. If you have the time and dedication to give them the rewards will be superior to growing in peat mix.. And you will have no issue using biobizz. I used them for a while before switching to my current brand . Good luck.👍🏼

Coco is soo much easier and better then soil. When you water with the right nutrient solition every other day you will never get deficiencies. And never have to think about overwatering or when and how much you need to water. You will get the best results when the plants and their roots always have acces to all necessarry. With coco and watering as described above they always do.

Easy and high yield are separate traits. Growing in soil is easiest and is the most natural. The soil and microbes in the soil help moderate pH, nutrient and water fluctuations so it is very forgiving and easy. I also think growing in soil produces a better flavor. Much like terroir to wine, the soil and growing condition can affect the taste of the final product. Growing in coco is a form a hydroponics. The plants can grow faster and yield more but it is more technical and unforgiving. It is like a space ship. You have to provide most of the life support for the plant so water chemistry and temperature are more critical and need to be actively monitored and controlled by you.

I agree with Theia, and I love using soil. 7+ gallons, preferably over 10 gallons. Getting that mycelium network fully established takes 3 to 4 runs. Reuse soil, amend with nute pack and scratch into surface. Fungi heavy compost teas, feeding fungi with complex carbs like flour, kelp and fish 🐟 😋 Best of luck 👍 ✨️ 💓 ❤️ The Fatty McCoy
