Grow Mediums House and Garden COCO A & B in Autopot Rez? Or Go With Aqua Flakes?

Plagron Light is just peat. It's soiless. Just like coco.

Google it.

Lightmix is a mix of the very best, carefully selected types of peat. The addition of various types of fibre and perlite results in a lightness and oxygen level found only in Plagron quality substrates. Only a minimal amount of nutrients have been added to Lightmix. This makes Lightmix the perfect substrate to fertilise according to your own judgement and choices.

semantics, IMHO peat is different than coco coir - nutrients need to be different. Lightmix already has some nutrients added.

Not going to debate whether the simple schedule works with 100% coco because I have no proof. I'm using it with amended coco. EWC. Micos. Biochar. And I'm pleased with the results so far. But not even thru a full cycle using this yet.

Anyway, I'm pretty confident a variation of the simple sched with a slightly amended coco will grow a decent crop. It wouldn't take much to create a coco version of the Plagron light mix. And it would probably be better than Plagron too.

Get some megacrop and you won't have to play with 15 bottles of stuff and have to play chemistry set with measuring stuff. One product that does it all! Does it work you ask? Seems to be working for me!

If I didn't have other product in play now that I don't want to change, I'd try Megacrop for sure. They even have a free sample pack to trial it. Nice looking garden BTW.

Alright guys I am back! Had to study for a big test, passed it then went on a victory trip to Central America!

Seeds have arrived! We had a massive cold front here in so cal so I am going to wait to plant. I think I will just use my coco h&g for this grow and order some drip clean and more to keep costs down. Depending on this grow I will probably try megacrop my next run. I am a simple man and megacrop sounds simple.

Wubba lubba dub dub! Went to a local hydro store and ran into a 4 autopot system! So I decided to do an outdoor test run and get started on my first autopot grow before I dive in without any experience with these bad boys. Because I am growing outside I am guessing it will require more water so I need to plan accordingly. I will post my 1st autopot grow below. Hope you all enjoy and please feel free to give me any advice whatsoever!

Just a suggestion, but your grow journal will be a lot cleaner and better looking if you start a new thread about it.

Here is the thread. Enjoy!
