Im wanting to grow organic, the past nearly 3 years iv grown in coco and still cant get the end product just how i want it so this way theres zero chemicals going in and i can chop when ever i feel need to without worrying about the flush, i will add Bio-Bizz Bloom towards the end but thats okay to add and chop the next day apparently.

I use Canna Pro plus and their nute range. It is like a Coco Ph range, but you water like soil. Very airy mix. My only bitch is I had fungus gnats on my last grow, which I'm pretty sure they came from the bag. I treated with nematodes before planting on this grow with no problems.

I'm a dwc type of dude I have found the best results using them

Iv found with the last 1000L or so of coco all of my bags were full of knats, even my local hydro shop told me they were getting people come in the shop to return it, not good.

Im looking at the Bio-Bizz Light Mix at the moment which is apparently great for seedling/cuttings/small plants ect, any info or heard any from this?

Thanks for the reply too and @Jack420

I am a coco guy and wouldn't use anything but coco , it can be run organic or what ever you want , it contains natural root inoculants , very easy if you have a ph problem and bugs don't really enjoy being in it but you can still get them .You just have to water every day is the only draw back but I think it gives better results and less head aches than soil and is readily available .

Just on forums. I've not heard anything bad. A few enthusiastic users. I ended up with Canna through fatigue. So many decisions to make when you are starting. I don't regret it. It's all about adding nutrients to a very stable root freindly medium. I use their nutrients (not cheap) and cal/mag. PH runs from 5.8 - 6.2. I get sciarid fly killer off amazon. It's easy enough to use.

I think im going to try BioBizz line then at least i suppose i can review it and how it did, i know its like most things hydro costs a fortune, iv got a $130 bottle of plagron green sensation and iv only used at most 30mls, at least if i can keep it as organic as possible i can at least know that im going to have good light for penetration, bit of a win win i suppose.

Good luck with that. If you journal on here, I'd like to follow along.

When I use coco, I like to get the bricks.
That way I can bake them at 300 for 4 or 5 hours in the oven
if there were anything in there, i.e. eggs
they'll be dead when they come out of the oven

 

[Greenlizard]

I'm really enjoying Sunshine Mix #4

 

[HigherTheHigh]

I have started a journal buddy O.G. Kush Organic Grow 2019 going to start adding some pictures tomorrow,

Out of interest @Greenlizard how many weeks can you get out of that mix before having to add nutrients?

 

[Greenlizard]

I start feeding about 3 weeks out of seed.

 

[HigherTheHigh]

Thats not to bad i suppose then, im going to try the Light mix for 70% of veg then transplant into the All mix, i will also be using the some of the Bio-Bizz Try Packs too, there cheap for how long they will last, so at least i can give people an honest review in case anyone wants to try them in the future, i will update my journal weekly .

I know it’s not on your list but I’ve had good results with subcools supersoil recipe but that takes time

 

[HigherTheHigh]

Ah see thats what i dont really have, its like the nutrients side, i can commit to the basic water plus a seaweed and molasses mix but no time to make up teas ect, but having said that lets see how they turn out and if i am only feeding once every 3-5 days i see no reason to add a few bits and pieces .

Consider me educated on that count. I was just gonna put it in the deep freezer for a couple weeks or until I am ready to use it. That said why is the OP letting this come down to the wire. Christmas is in 2 days yet I had my shopping done 45 days ago. Preparedness is key..... Just sayin.

Hey everyone when it's time to choose a soil I usually go with Fox Farm Organic potting and/or all the concentrates are amazing toos. both have earthworm castings, bat guano all the good stuff for a healthy prosperous grow. Like it was mentioned in some other comments all those listed there are good like the man said you made it this far you're at the the top.
