I used 100% perlite last grow and it was fantastic. Using coco now mixed with 30% perlite and it seems to be a bit more fickle then the last p'lite grow.

I'm going back to 100% perlite for my next grow :hump:

Thats wild bro.. Ive seen it done before just looks so acidic... how does it hold water? lol... I have run thick marble size perlite before.. and I love that thick and chunky vermiculite.. I plan on using both outdoors this year if I don't set my yard on fire....:-P

100% perlite? are you serious? i never heard of that before. do you use it like hydro setup or use it like soil and yeah how does it hold the water?

you guys that use coco
do you use recirc hydro or run to waste, or just hand water in pots
and how do you feed it, top down, bottom up,
what do you feed it and how often
im curious as to what/how you do it compared to other systems.

please elaborate.
water once a day, every second day, once a month, when the moon runs red ...

do you use hydro ferts/nutes? if so how much and how often etc etc

its the obvious things that people never post cause they are too obvious

I use botanicare pro bloom for soil and coco. it's just like soil i water when it needs watering. i only have one plant in coco and the rest in soil. for my next grow i plan to go coco all the way it's so much better

does it really make the plant grow faster?? im sold on this stuff for my next batch of blueryders. is it cheaper than soil? also mixing it with perlite is the way to go?

Coco all the way for me. I used to grow in soil and have in rockwool aswell but since trying coco that is all I use now. I just top up my pots with soil aswell sometimes. Have a look at some of my pics linked in my signiture as those plants were all grown in coco.
