I’m going coco noir this summer, first time trying it. Hopefully better than last years crop, aphids killed me because I forgo the neem oil, relying on good microbe soil. Never again!  I grow (indoors and greenhouse) in coco...it is by far the best growing medium out there. We've run 900 lights with it (quit, big grows suck) and reused it for 6 years before adding the spent (50% coco/50% perlite) material into vegetable garden beds and they are doing great. I'm going to experiment (we only have 40 lights now) with this, this year I think. One test plant, just add nitrogen. [ link to forum.grasscity.com (secure)] Are you serious? 6 years on coir? Talk about cost effective! Wow. And 900 lights. Wow, again. I am currently looking into possibly running leds on rails in my vegetable greenhouse. Honestly, just vegetables, until they make cannabis legal here, I can't grow it. Did you use rails? Or do you have any experience with that? I've mixed coir in with soil and it does wonders for the tilth. There's another sea mineral company called Sea Minerals from Arkansas that is supposed to be good as well. We're you using Sea Minerals in the coir? Also, for the ollas, I would imagine that coir would work great with those as well because it wicks moisture quite readily. We have entirely too many rocks to work with ollas, but we do raised beds with deep mulch and the garden doesn't need much water with that system as long as we have good spring rains.
