been using Coco for about 1 1/2 years now. I line the bottom of my containers with Hydroton(about 1" - 1 1/2"). Just wondering if doing a coco/perlite mix would have a good result, in a recirculating top drip system.
The reason I ask is. I feed about every 2 days in late veg/early flower, and towards mid flower, the plant starts drying out quicker, so the feed are daily then.
So I figured if I used perlite, there would be better root expansion. More air for the root system, plus my coco wouldn't stay wet, as long.
Does anyone use Coco/perlite in their hydro systems. If so throw me some info please. Mixing info, etc.
Thanks everyone.
