I think Knna is wrong about that, considering what we know about Total alkalinity vs water pH in terms of the affect on substrate pH and the research from Bill Argo on CEC in containers.
I have honestly never seen anything like what is going on Doc's garden with that coco plant. My only problem with coco is not being able to locally find a good product locally. Otherwise, it's great if you want a reusable and easily disposable medium. The Sunleaves peace coir that I had a problem with created instant nitrogen deficiencies - not anything related to Ca or Mg. Nitrogen drawdown is what it's called and it was probably caused by the coco not being fully decomposed...
Someone else said:
I don't know about that. It's moved from Sri Lanka, India and the Phillipines on cargo ships to California, Canada, European ports, etc. and than moved across countries on planes, trains and trucks?
Well, live and learn for me. There are certain things I like about my current grow, and certain things i don't like. I'll get some good product from this grow....some of it could be VERY good, judging by resin formation.
While some of the plants look more ragged than i am used to seeing, the bud development is still on track.
The only exceptions are the Trainwrecks.....2 of the 4 look horrible....way too much leaf, slow on the bud formation, just ugly. Yep.....in the coco.
