The worlds first organic living coco coir growers thread .

You do some very nice work with your grow technique, impressive.
I have stuck with true soil, attempting to do organic as close as posssible. Just towards the end when flowers are getting close is when the soil tends to lose something they need. I strictly use Gaia Green a certified organic fertilizer when needed, but mainly try and feed teas of various mixes. I am on my next attempt going to try coco and make it a living soiless grow. One of my favorite products is Mychorizal and also Bio Live from Down to Earth and Bio Char pre-inoculated (has microbes pre-charged). I do get the fungal growth on the top of my soil which I believe is from the Bio Live. Anyway thanks for your post, glad I looked into it. Keep those girls going!

Thanks for the kind words I appreciate them I don’t always hear such things about my living coco if you need any help I got you covered I love down to earth an the bio love is great the other stuff mentioned is good as well but I lack experience using those products I have lent change my medium in over 4 years an it’s still growing strong that’s technically the longest living coco in history if I’m tooting my own horn

Thanks very much for stopping by probiotic growing is definitely an interest of mine l see alot healthier plants which means a soil.rich in beneficial microbes and that's very nice ,studying organics and usin fermented juices an clover are also something I have found great success in ,I believe once people start to step away from the salt based chemical fertiliizers these methods will become more mainstream,ironically I believe some of these methods will be proven to improve yields equal to salt fertilizers with of course no damage to the eco system or environment folks will choose organic methods .

I read a really cool article where this person grew with dandelion teas for the whole process. They used the leaves for veg and the flowers for flowering And had really amazing results. I know its def possible and would love to try but living in the city i dont really have access to dandelions. If that ever changes i really want to give it a try.

No worrys my grow amigo I have been working on it myself I also along with the coco have sphagnum peat moss added this is a soiless mix still an is a product made by down to earth called pro organic it has fungi an bacteria added as well making it essentially a living bag of soiless medium once I add some other components to the mix that's when I start noticing the microbes in the living coco .ask away I like to spread the knowledge of living coco. I also have a grow in the organic section called dankstyle js poetry of plants 2 it's all living coco so far .

Ive been growin in a coco peat pearlite organic blend with all organics and beneficial microbes, myco, bacteria, nematodes etc. for almost a year now. Almost 20yrs in hydro, and i kick myself fro not switching sooner. It really is the best in my opinion for quality. Ive been having awesome results and it has become second nature. No more feed charts and i just let the plants talk to me. Im still learning every day and i constantly experiment when i cone across some information that sounds good. Your plants are a testament to the process. Thanks for sharing this!

Yeah I really like the look of this method but I'm in the same spot. No room for filling with amendments and fermentation. Chem salts for now as it's quick and clean but I'm def watching for the future grows.
