Coco or soil? For easiness and yield
Does growing in coco offer bigger yields than soil or vice versa? And has anyone had good results using biobizz with coco? I’m curious because I'm thinking about trying out an organic coco run.

Clay pebbles at the bottom
I'm thinking using this like maybe an half inch in 4 gallon fabric pot - for better airflow for roots & to prevent overwatering. They absorb the excess well and give off slowly. Been doing this with my normal plants at home and it works well for them. Anyone with experience?

What Ph should I water my Autos at? Considering this substrate and the previous problems I had with it ?
I grow in this substrate, is it considered soil or coco ? What Ph should I water it at ? Had loads of problems in first grow with nutes due to over feeding which lowered my run off Ph to 4.7 and gave me problems. This time I will go slow with those but at what Ph? 🙏

Hello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

Manure in outdoor pots.
How much manure should I mix into my pro-mix. I have a pile of seasoned manure from last year and want to use it in my outdoor pots. I want to mix in some Gaia Green bloom into it also. Thinking of using 10 gallon fabric pots. My photo seedings just popped out of pure pro-mix.

re-using soil worth it?
Anyone with experience (give comparison growth, yield,...).... I use biobizz light mix. Normally, I only have to mix the soil with a bit of fresh soil and worm hummus to activate organic life again. And ofcourse break the old plant material with enzymes first and let it rest
