So I just found a hydroponics store sort of near where I live (the only store within a 74 mile radius apparently), and the guy and I started talking about mediums. I told him I use soil and was interested in his FoxFarm products. He was wondering if I had considered going hydroponic and I said sort of. He then told me about and gave me a free sample of a medium called EZ-Coco which he said is a great transitional medium between soil and hydro. He showed me some of the plants he was growing with it and they looked great. Apparently EZ-Coco is an organic medium composed of coconut fibers that you mix 70/30 with perlite to make this really light and fluffy medium. The benefits appear to be amazing root growth and drainage while being able to easily maintain a stable pH (the best of both the hydro and soil worlds). You also get a lot more Coco for a lower price than soils. He showed me a 3 pound brick of condensed Coco that you prepare with water to make the equivalent of 19 pounds of soil.

That's about all I know about it, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with EZ-Coco or has heard anything else about it, good or bad. He gave me a half-pound free sample, so I think I'm going to try it with one or two of my plants on my next grow.

hi

it is really good because it hold lots of air and nutrient and drains well too.
