In general when growers think of coco they think of synthetic nutes and high frequency watering. Organic amendments and less frequent watering are usually a soil thing. 99% of grows are like this, and people are not always open to new ideas.
It’s not a popular technique, I think because Gaia Green is only available in Canada. Seems to be mostly newer growers inspired by Mr Canuk using it. I’ve seen a few successful journals on other sites.
I say go for it, experimenting is half the fun in this hobby. Not a bad idea to have a plan B in mind though.
Exactly what he said. I did a tomato plant one year in a Walmart bag. I used Down to earth amendments and a coco based soil. It worked fine just dried out everyday in 100 degree weather. I think it will work and prove to be pretty easy!
Update for people who were interested. About 4 weeks in we arw doing good! Started slow but now have some decent growth. Showing signs of starting to flower. Plants are very short and bushy, my fault for having light too close and not allowing stretch
