It’s what I grow in. -Agreed on the root mass/development.
You will probably need nutrients, especially if you add perlite. I can get through a standard veg period (6-weeks) in a 5–7-gallon container but will likely start to see deficiencies going into weeks 7-8. To compensate, I basically fert at 1/4 - 1/2 strength through vegging and then ramp it up into flowering.
I’ve found my best results are to PH to 6.5. (6.4 - 6.5) I’ve had better results when I don’t treat it like standard coco coir where one might PH to lower values. My experiences there (5.8 - 6.3) were not nearly as positive.
