I've been trolling for a while looking for a good collective of information about the micro life in hydroponics (especially passive coco) if anyone could recommend a link I would be greatly appreciative.

Also I was wondering if the micro life of your tea or res will drop or rise due to the natural workings of the bacteria and such. Im trying to get by with adding a little molasses and a dash of espoma starter. Will my ph adjust when the microlife kicks in? I also added some peat pucks and it dropped the ph from 9.5 to 8.5 almost immediately. Thanks so much for any advice you could possibly lend :dunce::dunce::dunce:

First off, I would like to say that I hope you don't take my response in the wrong way. I am just a by the facts, etc, type of person.

With this part "Also I was wondering if the micro life of your tea or res will drop or rise due to the natural workings of the bacteria and such." - My recommendation would be to read more on microbial life. Read materials-articles, research papers, etc- that are about the specific bacteria and fungi you are using. Having a better understanding of each of the factors in your garden will give you far better control than just knowing if it works to get you by.
A poor analogy might be this - If you never had the option of school, you could get a job and make it by in life.(or just know if it works) However with an education (knowing each factor in your garden-the microbes/fungi) your life can be full of wonderful achievements beyond your dreams!(robust yields of more flowers than you know what to do with).

"I also added some peat pucks and it dropped the ph from 9.5 to 8.5 almost immediately."
Reading about the factors in your garden(as mentioned above) would also answer this..statement/question. Peat breaks down over time, causing your medium to become more acidic.

Although I am not trying to tell you what to do, I suggest you read a bit more on the things you are putting into your garden rather than about simply "growing cannabis". It doesn't take all that much work, and your work will be rewarded! May I ask why you choose growing coco? I am inexperienced with that medium.
