Attempting tlo coco recipe.

[Eyes on Fire]

ill post later on for that recipe your looking for man but this bagged stuff is essentially what you'll be making.composted pine bark..?that aint coco so its a heavier mix id think as far as a simple coco bagged stuff.its worked so it'll be light id think but not heavy as youd need to sustain a longer grow.you need mass and anchors for the living mikes to cling to essentially.and it its all composted materials thats fine but theyre not all coco and this is exactly what Im saying.100% coco isnt nowhere as easily doable.Im sure it could be done imo but maaaan too much water and energy would go into it too id think.

yeah freshly awake n all that but ill take a look after a bit man.Thanks!:Sharing One:

Eyes are those real trees in your pic?? So awesome!
Im subbed up bros would love to taste the difference between tlo and synthetic based weed. Ive grown using organic bottled nutes before and i didnt taste any difference between that and synthetic bud... but tlo is different from everything ive read and testimony from peeps so i gotta try it!

I have a grow going now that's about 40% coco and the rest worm castings and compost along with amendments,its a light mix for plants and seams to be ok so far but I am feeding tea real regular ,like every day along with calmag and epsom salts.

I have one pot I ran out of compost so just used coco and worm castings with amendments mentioned above it seams to be doing great (so far) but I top dressed about half way through with compost and comfrey.

I am new at this but I believe these autos can make it on a lot less than we think so I am trying to keep it simple and real and see what happens.

Lmfao I dunno man I just looked sick so I had ta have it lmfao! creepy cool eh?! how'd ya like to look up romping round the deeper forest n look out in the shadows of dusk n leer up n see that..?lmfao wouldnt you turn cold for a second?lmfao!!


yeah that bag is more trace heavy since its more designed for what your talking about with coco growers.aeration and root development quickly so its a massively airy mix as your more than familiar with.and the pine bark is fine but it doesnt add a nice inoculate styled form of heavier mikes n the like.id use a few gllons of soil pre made and worked into that personally with a solid inoculate and smaller additions and that'll prolly do really reallty well actually if your a drip feed guy.I frigin haaated setting them damned things up in OD settings lol dig crawl crawl crawl hang bend dig lmfao!!

but im still tossing around thoughts to be honest before i reply..thanks!as far as the TLO coco goes. looking at variations of airy dripping organic mixes.to you use ring dripping halos?or a standard single tip dripper?

 

[Eyes on Fire]

oh yeah just to clarify the coco and soil tlo mixtures are a common thing actually,but your trying to use your drip feeders and a MORE coco biased base mix right?cuz if you wanna do a 50/50 split you can essentially use any recipe that might have caught your eye bro.if you have one in mind let me know brother n ill try and add the coco side of the aeration and feeding characteristics of the flow systems.

but at this time Im thinking the 50/50 is easiest but if you wanting like i mention a heavier(or lighter actually)use of coco ..?Im think roughly a 65% coco mixture sounds fairly reasonable imo.and with extras amendments id can see it being totally workable to roughly a 70 some odd % mixture of a more coco laden growing medium.

so your thoughts on your coco amount you'd like to try n use?and the halo dripper or single drip nossle system or a misting tip?:Sharing One:

Eyes you are the man! I guess I wouldn't mind getting the mixture as light as poSsible. I was basically going to copy the ingredients of the super coco soil. Really a 60/40 coco/soil sounds achievable, or of you think it's possible to go lighter that wouldn't be bad.

I'm going to be dripping with a ring of just plain water. I want the medium to be light so I can feed multiple times a daY. However I want to try and keep the medium as self sufficient as possible, meaning I won't have to mix a tea every other day, or eventually rely on teas period to get me through. I'm more than happy to make the coco/soil mixture more on the soil side if need be, to keep the mixture working as a proper super soil.

 

[Eyes on Fire]

oh ok great!! yeah the ring drip feeds work really well when used through transition and flowering.hell rinsing in an organic medium like whatcha want should be really easy and lend to some pretty damned nice buds man imo. but if your looking for the most activity levels and the anchors to hold onto a good feeding soil with a drip system is gonna be stellar. so i guess the only thing left is how involved do you want your recipe..? since there are a few recipes that ill prolly take from.. but a 55-60% mix is ideal for what your looking for with a drip system imo.

so ill break down the revs mix to a MUCH more user friendly list and things to do and how to mix it man no sweat.just gimma another day er so,.i wanna look at one thing a friend of a friend i know of was doing.

and essentially you could use that pine bark mulch amendment to heavy it up to hold some life(far from as much as is truly needed imo) since thats exactly why they used it.but adding to that as a base mix to a soil would also work really really well but get expensive though..frigin greedy man,60 bucks a bag WTF??thats crazy talk there man lmfao!

 

[Truu]

I feel ya there bro, thats why I would just rather make my own base.

So when you are talking about cutting it, I guess you mean that the actual ammended soil is to hot just to use on its own, so we cut it with to make it somewhat weaker so the plants dont burn. Do you think its possible to just make a coco/soil that can be used from seed to harvest, or is it just better to cut it? OR do I make a batch of soil with ammends and then use to coco to cut the soil?

Honestly I was planning on ordering everything off my list up there, the recipe in that guys super coco pretty much is identical to my list of things I have access to buying. Also, I want to have a good list of ingredients to have incase I need to make certain teas to fix things. I know that I wont be using much of the ingredients because I will only be making about 5 CU ft worth of coco/soil. And really only using 2 CU ft of soil (mix the 2 together and its about 60/50)

 

[Eyes on Fire]

Well first im thinking of an inoculate .so you can buy spores if you reallly wanna be involed or like an EM-1 inoculate.mushroom and steer compost tend to make an outstanding inoculate too.

but that mix should be more than fine.the few things I would personally do is get some lime to mix with the pots as you fill them up.but also using it to make your soil/coco mix to help buffer it longer.which youll be fine on that ofcourse.but your going to want to mix the soil and coco together and if you want it slightly thinner as we talked about you could add a fist full or two here n there to thin it yes.or cut it slightly ,yeah buddy.

your first step is get some composts and casting n things or an inoculate,then you can add these trace elements and varying components.:smoke:

I would make your base something like 10 gallons of a decent soil right about 15 gallons of loose pre washed coco and have rice hulls or a mix of them and vermiculite imo.a handful of lava or pumic stone would be good too. and from there you can blend in your textures with something like 8-10 gallons of castings and a cup of peat humus with a cpl gallons of each of the steer and/or mushroom and cow compost..your making bigger mixes im guessing?lmfao i should asked lmfao!! so ill stop here until i know if your doing a larger drip n bucket count of smaller?lol sorry bro :Sharing One:

 

[Eyes on Fire]

lmfao oops less than 20 gallons sorry stoned moment :Hookah:
