one thing to consider using coco, is what nutrients ya plan to run... since using coco allows you to fed your plants every single watering, instead of plain water, so you'll get the same speed as hydro, I do! but your nutrient cost will go up a bit, but will be saving a lot using coco, since it can be re-used and cost way less then any other product out there, with exception of hydro, but hydro has no buffer and coco does, thats what makes it the best! plus hydro relies on power and ph always goes out of whack, I like stability!!
