hey fletch...
I have not personally grown with Coco but have heard MOSTLY great things....
I do believe it is a pH neutral medium and YOU should make sure you water wth the proper pH water.
I suspect it is also possible to over water COCO.. as I have seen soggy cocco...
A guess would be to treat it similar as soil.. water thoroughly and then wait until the coco is nearly dry.... watch your plants closely and you they should let you KNOW when they are thirsty...
pictures would be great..
I watched a DVD on coco growing several years ago... I did not retain any info.. but you could youtube coco.. and see what is available..
cheers
