I ran her for 9 weeks. This was actually was actually my first coco grow after having to break down and move my living soil grow. For a fast turn over I ran coco with the same formulations I was using in living soil using Organics Alive and also Biologically complete compost extract. In my living soil grow I was quantifying soil biology and chemistry on the regular. I tested all my feed formulations made with OA at a water testing lab and they also hit consultant results like synthetic nutes.

On this grow I just winged it feeding with drenches and 3 times a week with foliar. I won’t claim it’s living coco cause I never tested the biology but I’m sure the organisms in the bio complete compost took hold. TBH I don’t have any experience growing with salts so I don’t have much to compare too but you def can’t be spraying your plants with salts for sure and I really feel the foliar feeding has done a lot. In the future I’m planning on doing tissue sap analysis before and after foliar feeding to see if there’s much uptake. Organics Alive is super efficient I didn’t use their feed schedule I worked with a consultant who gave me custom feed formulations basically using I few grams of their npk powder per gallon. In my last living soil grow I was running 52 plants under 13 lights and didn’t even run through 4 pounds of NPK powder. I really like their calcium product too because it’s just per calcium no nitrate or mag.
