All About Growing Plants In Coco Coir! (Garden Talk

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks to Dr. MJ Coco for coming onto the podcast today! Dr. MJ Coco’s channel- bit.ly/3HCKd6x

[@coreylucchesi7415]

Blumat or AC infinity self water pots? Which is better for beginners??

[@youngnixx88788]

Im not even a coco grower and this was easily top 3 Garden Talk episodes 💯🍻🔥

[@illmech]

that's one of the many truly amazin' things about this show, every single episode remarkably has useful info. best garden show streaming.

[@jeffberndt8699]

I’m a relative novice who builds rain/pollinator gardens for my real world job, so I’m not a totally ignorant soil gardener, but my first couple of grows (all inside) in soil were a pain because it seemed so many factors were just outta my control. They were successful, but I switched to following Dr MJ Coco’s high frequency fertigation method in coco and all three of my grows have been awesome, easy and really give you a chance to learn your plants! Honestly, I am 110% sold on it!

[@paddington1670]

@@jeffberndt8699 once you figure out pH, coco and bottle nutrients is easiest. I agree, soil-soil doesnt give much maneuvering

Coco is the 👌

[@brianrenteria9181]

You snoozing bro coco coir is the way to grow. 20-30% more yield and growth

[@tark3469]

Hell yea we want a part 2 on coco. Coco is such a funny media to grow in. Your rather love it or hate it. Good show Chris

[@nicholasheath6585]

This explains why it's the only thing works for me! Cus it's out of the ordinary! Figures! 😂

[@Virginia_cough_factory]

As a coco grower this was my favorite episode so far! Great show!! 👏

[@ds19beats]

Def top 3 for me

[@DrMJCoco]

Really enjoyed coming on the show! Thank you for having me, Chris. I look forward to the next episode on horticultural lighting. Grower Love!

MJ I've grown in Coco a couple times with synth nutes and got larfy buds, what was I doing wrong? Went back to my soil recipe..

[@jjentz4789]

@@DrMJCoco hey brother i was wondering if I could share with you my grow setup inspired by you . I am currently have some issues and I'm hoping you can help tia

[@cjfredi]

Been a coco grower for the past five years and couldn't be happier. I've adopted a MJ coco, Harley Smith and Bill Ward style of growing. Fantastic Talk Chris. Thank you both.

[@cbrmike69]

Ordered some Canna Coco bricks, going to try Gold Leaf Nutes with it. If I'm just growing in 1 gallon pots do you think I need to add Perlite? If so, is a certain sized Perlite recommended?

[@freshasadaisy4782]

Bill Ward doesnt know what he is doing. He makes noobie mistakes even after years.

[@Tinfoiledhat]

I use coco hempy buckets so damn easy

​@@cjfredi same brother he just tells you how it is no beating around the bush he's clear with what he uses and ain't into the b.s 😊

[@michaelunruh-eu7jg]

I was wondering if you knew of a video where Dr Coco explains how he lowers the EC if it gets too high, or one of yours? Getting back in after 14 years and never even heard of EC haha. Happy growing!!🙌🔥👌

[@davidwalls3295]

My favorite episode EVER!!! For sure want to see a part 2 talking about organically amended coco. Thank you and Dr. M J. very much.

[@Inspiration-Today-2020]

Dr coco is a legend in my book. I followed his setup and style from 2019 and I crush it now!! He inspired me to learn soo much more than was needed. It's legal in Missouri now and I hope to help home growers get over the hurdles and crush it from their 1st run.

[@amandaclinton1344]

Watch both episodes with this guy. Extremely smart, great source of knowledge

[@michaelrichter607]

Damn he sold me on going back to coco . I really miss the fast growth and bigger yields

[@MauiMary]

I really enjoyed this episode, which is very practical and interesting. DrMJ, the teacher, rocks ! Aloha 🌺 Chris Sustainability!!! Energy!!!

[@Kin_Kola]

I've been using Dr MJ Coco's feed chart since I started growing just over a year ago, and almost everyone that sees my plants can't believe I haven't been growing for many years. My plants are healthy and beautiful. I have actually started trading clones with a local dispensary and they too mentioned how well my plants look. Dr MJ Cocos feed chart will definitely help you produce some absolutely gorgeous plants from start to finish.

[@nordicwarrior9566]

Starting off I used Canna coco bricks as they are already buffered and ready to go. That is the hope as I paid 2x for it just to simplify my first round.

[@camz1039]

This was a very good episode. It's been a while since there was an episode dedicated to synthetic growing. The more time goes on, the less new information I seem to pull out of each video. This was one I certainly took a few notes on. One thing I have been playing with lately is lowering my ppm/ec in rdwc to find how low is too low. I was aware of the different ppm scale in Europe and America but I wasn't aware it was due to calcium ratios in water. I'm excited for the episode on LEDs. Thank you both!

[@elev8id]

You didnt mention yeild in Coco.. You get bigger stems in Coco leading to stronger branches equals big bud more yield. Coco basically acts like DWC so more yield & faster growth.. add 25% Worm Castings for high microbial life...

[@robertneumann3886]

Awesome video! How amazing is it that you have someone teach you something who isn't only passionate about it but highly educated as well. As a new grower, this information was very helpful and I'll be putting it to good use!

[@odaharry]

Yes please an episode on combining synthetics and organic s. No one ever tells much about that style

[@CL-ty6wp]

I used 50/50 of peat & rice hulls, about the recommended amount of Down to Earth all purpose 4-6-2 and a handful or so of earth worm castings. I watered with mostly even parts of flora micro & bloom (5-5-5) from General Hydroponics and had some of my healthiest plants. I don't recommend non organic promix because of the synthetic wetting agent. And I would use something besides GH , simply for the fact it has dyes. Dyna-gro is dye-less and I recommend or jacks 5-12-26 with there calcium nitrate, if you want dry ferts.

[@tonyb.7158]

Love this channel Dr. G happy I found you. Loads of info for the newbie like me! My results have been great. Learning so much from you and your guests! Thanks again. Keep up the great service!

[@MN_Grow_Bro]

I've watched literally dozens of hours of your videos, especially coco coir related, and i have to say this is truly the most educational/beneficial one yet in my own personal opinion.🙌

[@WizardTekMycology]

He's the Coco goat I think

[@canadiancannabismike9271]

Thank you for this coco and bottles! Would love another coco show bottom watering, pheno hunting in coco 1 gallon, water frequency, PPM at different stages, mother plants, clones, all in coco. Thanks for this great episode and guest. Cheers

[@BRM101]

Gentlemen this was very enjoyable and I learnt a lot so thank you, I have heard Dr Mj on the cheap homegrow podcast but was great to see him on video instead of just a voice. Would love to see a part 2 on coco please make that happen. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@dawie4853]

I can concur. Learning how to crush coco and prelite mix organically, using liquid feeds made me the knf master grower i am today. DaggaDawie from South Africa

[@pauljenkins6807]

Im using coco coir mixed with vermiculite and peat moss. Im hand feeding and watering using advanced nutrients and cal mag. So far, plants are looking great but, i have a long way to go. I just hit two weeks so, im just really getting started. Great video and very informative

[@Kingjames313]

I love growing in coco coir. Started with DWC (May go back some day) but coco is just so simple and effective.

[@stangcobra592]

I didn't find it simple at all, the watering is a PITA

[@cjfredi]

Absolutely agree. I like being in control of my EC and spoon feeding my plants.

[@jamesryan9671]

Great show. I've never heard the the subject covered as well as Dr. MJ Coco covered it here. Great show.

[@DaveBrisbine]

Only been growing since last August using bag soil from Fox Farms for the first two starts, heard a podcast with Mr. MJ Coco speaking with real authority behind what he shares 😅 I decided to try coco and I had great experience with both quality and yield following his nutritional schedule - My Hat is Off to the Hood Doctor ✌️✌️

[@jonnyblaze2692]

Coco for Cannabis FTW!! Since finding doc mjcoco my grow has never been better ❤️❤️👍👍

[@normagee]

ive only watch 15 mins & already saved this for later, great info , im just getting into coco growing so this is brilliant 😎

[@awesomeguyat7771]

Check out his website, so much info so neatly outlined, it’s truly an amazing resource

[@ds19beats]

Haha Norma gee is everywhere. I see you on highagain allot

[@WizardTekMycology]

Really really loving all the science here. And I've been following his work and feed schedules with some amazing results. Coco can be amazing but it is temperamental. One of the biggest points he made was that you need to just focus on increasing the frequency of fertigation to force problems occurring around the root zone like pH, imbalance or Hi gh EC, You just push some more feed through it To a 30% run off and that ensures you have fresh nutrient filled oxygen-rich PH And easy correct nutrients where they're needed.

[@gezgibson7451]

Love this guy, fantastic guest, deffo up there with Dr Bruce and Vader. Can't wait for next week 👍

[@HectorConCarne.]

I grow in Canna Coco, hydroton clay pebbles instead of perlite, and 3 gallon fabric pots with Advanced nutrients coco line up. Amazing everytime. Grove bags are amazing too.

[@Autonomous_Don]

Dr bugbee swears by peat and vermiculite cause of the silica and cat-ionization rate I’m gunna run a couple test trials with pumice and vermiculite as my base and mix coca in both Pumice and vermiculite have a ton of silica so I’m kinda stoked to see how it plays out

[@danialcornett]

How did it turn out?

Im not a coco guy but i still love the Drs knowledge he drops everytime he opens his mouth

[@cmattos1760]

I have a huge amount of respect for Dr MJ Coco. His website (which teaches in depth about how to grow in coco) is very well laid out and taught me most of what I know. It gave me much more than just a foundation. Thanks doc! Truly, you’ve made growing fun and most of all fulfilling for me.

Wow man first 10 minutes the guy drops knowledge on language. That's mind blowing. Another banger Chris.

[@mactagg8814]

Ya Nailed another one Mr Grow It! My thoughts on growing with coco have drastically changed. A+ info! Took notes, now learning deeper into the general bits. Thank you both!🤙

[@Angrytoddler]

The reason you use vermiculite is to add the benefits of silica it’s more of a amendment then to aid in drainage or you can add rice hulls .

[@thomassiegfried5409]

Water holding as well definitely gives soil a better ability to stay moist.

[@nickthorne5872]

My goodness, what an amazingly educational episode. Smart guy this one. Knows his plant science and teaches it well.

This was a great episode. I don’t grow in coco and this guy didn’t sway me but he provided some great information and gave a cool perspective on some things and I like his scientific approach to growing.

[@702exotic]

I came out of growing retirement since the 2013 purge because of you 2 Thanks guys for the knowledge

[@CL-ty6wp]

I don't typically watch much about cannabis these days but this was a great watch. You can tell he has a deep passion/understanding for the subject and that's what made it good. I also picked up my first bit of coco to try today and it is actually branded 'Grow it' lol

[@jamesturpin8271]

This is the most informative video i have watched. I don't know if its because of my understanding more since ive been growing, but the information made so much sense. Especially with EC. Thank you guys.

[@ewreck944]

Love the microbe part.. I've been adding myco and hydroguard and HO LEE SHEET.. my roots are 2x thicker than without using them. Definately gonna keep using myco and hydroguard

[@illmech]

straight up the best gardening show streamin'. Thank you Dr. Coco & as always Mr. Grow It.

[@brandywhittington8067]

This is the best video on explanation as far as growing in Cocoa that I have ever seen on KZbin. This is a great collaborative video between the 2of you😊. I really appreciate this. I have learned a lot.

[@rickybrooks2839]

I think it would super dope if you did a garden talk episode about crop steering, and how you can control EC by doing so. Every since I started implementing this, my plants have blown up(in a good way). I don't hear too many people talking about crop steering either.

[@rickybrooks2839]

And as far as the microbial inoculants, it depends on the type of inputs that you use. Like Trichoderma works as a parasitic microbe. It will infect bad diseases like root rot and take over as a beneficial. If your plants are already healthy, you won't see any benefits from this.

[@rickybrooks2839]

@Superkoopatrooper that's the main reason I'll use it along with some type of enzyme, to help break down organic material so it won't build up in my drip lines.

[@NoNamerzable]

What do u mean by crop steering?

[@rickybrooks2839]

@NoNamerzable crop steering is changing a plants environment/ irrigation strategy to steer it in the direction that you would like it go, either vegetative or generative

[@JohnDoe-ck3pr]

Definitely enjoyed the discussion. Would love a part two

[@DanL-j6b]

Yes absolutely do a part 2 on coco, mixes of coco, feeding etc...

[@86peppers]

This is one of the best and most informative videos of yours I have watched! And not just for coco. I've never grown in coco and learned so much. Chris, on your next round of "bro science" Q&A can you please ask about letting water sit out for 24 hours before feeding to plants? People do this to let chlorine dissipate. But isn't chlorine one of the needed micronutrients? It's also a sterilizing agent. Isn't that a good thing? We drink this water and water our outside gardens with it.... I've noticed that if I use straight tap water in a DWC bucket, it's difficult to control the PH. It drifts all over the place and there is a huge delay on the PH meter. When I use water that's been sitting out >24 hours I find the PH is more more stable and adjusting it is much more responsive. I run sterile so I add my own cal-hypo. SO, I guess my confusion lies more with letting water sit out to remove chlorine for plants growing in *soil/peat*? MJ said that when water is left out to sit the oxygen is released. And if overwatering suffocates our roots, is this worsened by water that's been drained of oxygen? Maybe we should be putting an air stone in our sitting water when feeding it to plants in soil?

[@WizardTekMycology]

@@86peppers definitely. And a very valid point good sir🤙🏻

Did it wrong then buddy. One of the best ways to do. Watering is easy run a drip system and other than topping the water up you don't need to do anything. Even hand watering is easy
