I remember you saying that thry didnāt preform as wellā¦ Hmm
K chat tomorrow email me
Have you tried FF happy frog? how would you compare it to the coco?
Fox farms happy frog is a light but nutrient diverse soil with little to no perlite so it compacts.
Coco is airey and has no nutrients its considered a soil less medium.
We will both recommend coco with 50 perlite/vermiculite (your choice) to grow cannabis

So if i end up liking coco and switch fully. Whats a good coco thats mixed already where i wont have to get 3 or 4 diff bags and mix myself. During summer i wont mind mixing as i can do it outside but i dont wanna have to try and mix all kinds of stuff for 10 to 12 plants inside lol. My wife will kick my arse

To get the best mix (that I know of to date) you need 3 items BUT WAIT.
One of them is a tiny tiny little bag of Mykos (in Canada I find Wallace organic the cheapest and in the US I think itās great white but find a product)
Then you need a bag of pre washed coco (mine comes pre buffed as well) really any pre washed coco regardless of the brand but read the description as it may be washed and buffed.
Followed by as much perlite or vermiculite as you have coco. Iām loving perlite, if I was not in autopots I think I wiuld use vermiculite because it holds onto water and gives a boost of calcium so reduces calcium deficiency but for my autopots I love perlite and I donāt need the added calcium.
Get one of those big totes from home depot (biggest you can) and mix the coco with the other medium 50/50, then read the directions on the Mykos and add it in.
Boom done.
I can do four 5 gallon pots with one bag of coco and one bag of perlite.

Yes ill admit it was a pain to mix. Had my wife arms deep in it mixing it all up. She was al ost head first in the can lmao. I should have took a pic. She is like 4 foor 9 maybe 4 10 it was hilarious. Feet dangling in the air but she wanted to do it so i didnt mess up my back. I think i have a jacked up sciatic nerve or something that sends jolts up my back down my leg its jacked up.

@Mark0427 If you have a little room. And are going to use coco for a while. Your cheapest option wold be to use bricks. Not messy at all. I break pieces off and hydrate them in a 5 gallon bucket. Once done. I put in a 20 gallon trash can. A layer of coco, and a layer of vermiculite. Then mix. Then keep repeating till it is full. The up side is you always have some ready to use. I get big bags of vermiculite for about 23 bucks. And it will make a lot.
I use about a 60/40 mix of the 2 as a guess. More of the coco. Once I fill a pot. I toss it in the tub., and rinse it good. Let it dry for a few hours. And pop a plant in. I donāt pre charge the coco like others do. Donāt see it as necessary since you will be adding it as you feed. I have tried it before and there was no benefit for me. Other than making things much harder to get started.
I keep the vermiculite in a can as well
@NewYep, I have never used soil my self. Only coco. It looks like @Nicky got you an answer though

@Not2SureYet has a great method as well his way or my way both work.
Iām just lazy and I have a local grow store that I like to support and my coco is 20$ a bag and 10$ for perlite. I agree buffed coco is not needed I just donāt like breaking off the bricks, we have to do it for th hermit crabs and while itās 1/2 the price of a bag those bricks are soooooooo compressed I make a mess breaking them apart.
Unfortunately hermit crabs need the salt that is in the coco so I canāt use bagged coco, where as plants do not want the salt in the bricks so be sure to wash it out well in the tub like @Not2SureYet does.
