Hi. Any experienced coco growers here? What are the main differences compared to soil? I’m planning to use Canna Coco with Terra Aquatica DualPart Coco nutrients for an autoflower. Any quick tips?

Koko is better controllable, but it often has problems with fungus gnats... Everything has its pros and cons... if you're coming from soil, treat Koko like a light mix with a big plant, so no seedlings... so no 4-6 weeks of pre-fertilization included... CalMg is very important and of course, it has a completely different pH value, so that must be at least present... Better to have several small watering cycles or one big one with drainage; everyone has their own way of doing it... Tip: Drain doesn't necessarily have to be there, just don't over-fertilize if you're unsure; better to use half the dose and see, the plants react to Koko faster.

You will basically have to start feeding from day one and ALWAYS get run off..............otherwise, google "coco for cannnabis", it will have all the info you need.

coco isn't magic.. it's simple an inert medium that generally holds less water than other options - neither good or bad, just is. This is why you need less perlite in it to reach a proper gas:water mix pervolume (33% vs 50% perlite) simple treat it like any other soilless medium... essentially like hydro in a lot of ways, except there is a physical medium. Full diet, every irrigation with fertilizer that is 100% soluble and 100% plant-available upon dissolution. Always give 10% runoff or more. This avoids buildup in medium and makes any nutritional problem simply a matter of fixing your formula. lots of myths around coco, like that it needs excess calcium. This is only true if it was poorly produced coco. If buffered poorly, it will leech Ca. If that ever happens, stop buying from that brand, lol. Make sure it's washed and buffered, or you have to do that at home. Better yet, use promix hp or bx... no concern about buffering and salt poisoning your plants with a bad batch. just add more perlite or similar as mentioned above. cocoforcannabis.com -- articles, guides, dr photon's corner.. avoid user-submitted forums unless you can discern the garbage.
