Adding coco to soil !!!

[G']

Hi guys, i've seen quite a few posts where guys mix coco with their soil grows what percentage of coco can you mix with soil before having to PH and EC test etc', any info would be gratefully accepted, cheers, G'.

Hey dude. If ya looking to use it, personally I would use at similar ration as perlite ie only 5-10% in a soil mix

I've done a coco plug for my 1 of my current plants to make seedling stage easier but it is still a soil grow

I'm sure someone with some more experience with will chime in too but I think low ratio fine in soil with no issues otherwise decide if ya wanna go coco or soil 😊

You can add coco.
Although coco is a great growing medium I would go with clay pebbles or perlite as they don't hold as much water as coco and have more air retention

I would go 20-30%

I can only see 1 value on that chart that's total % actually works out too 100% 😂😂😂 scratch that, can't see any 😂

Can you PM me the paper it's come from or a tag words so I can find the study?

Why would it have to add up to 100%, it's what the mediums are holding on to, if I did a controlled experiment and put 5l of water at the same temperature through let's say 5l of growing medium and then measured the water/air ratio each medium would give a different result would it not.

I don't think you would ever get 100%.

I'm not allowed to give links, just google it, but it makes complete sense to me as a sit on the fence guide to water/air retention ratios in different mediums.

The only reason I can possible think that the values shouldn't add up to 100% air/water is if the study was counting the mass of the medium as well

If your looking at % of air to % of water surely any % stats should total 100% otherwise there is info being withheld

You can private message a link buddy 😎

Don't think I could cope with a full blown coco grow as not guaranteed to be able to get in every day, thanks for your reply mate, G'.

Google water/air retention in growing mediums

How long do they hold the water/air for then because rice hulls for instance break down and won’t hold onto water or air for long?
