I agree on all points. I have found the 3 gallon fabric pots in my DTW with coco/perlite to be awesome and you can grow some monsters in them. I could only imagine adding blue mats. But alas RDWC is calling my name.........
This is my first go with coco and mistakenly treated as just another soilless grow. I am in 7 gallon smart pots and my plants are too big! Needless to say I will going down to 5 gallons because it doesn't seem necessary for anything higher than that.

I used 10 gallon pots once:) big mistake I could make enough ro water to keep up . Plants suffered.

checkout Green genes thread in the LED section he kills coco in 2 gallons
Don't really matter what your plants look like if your Meds taste like crap. Every single flower I've tasted grown in coco has that same coco flavor. i live in a medical state and visit dispos regularly .Marijuana grown in coco = nasty tasting flowers!!!!!! Prove me wrong and I'll eat my words but I haven't seen it except very very rarely. Now thousands of people growing in this crap getting huge plants that all taste the Same. It's unfortunate really. But a lot of new growers don't know the difference so they think there shit is the bomb because it's loaded with trichomes and tests at 25% but taste like chemicals 1/2 way through every joint . Yum . No screw coco and the whore it rode in on :) have a nice day . This is only my opinion you may get great Meds from coco but I doubt it !

What's the deal with that? What does growing in coco lead to bad tasting meds, I have heard both sides.

Pretty broad generalized OPINION. Respected, but I certainly disagree. It isn't the growing medium that is the culrpit of bad tasting buds. It is the grower themselves and their lack of gardening skills. I'd certainly like to know what a "coco taste" is. Now I wonder if dwc,flood n drain, perlite hempy buckets, soil(organic or not), peatmoss,chowmix etc.... have a "taste". Eh...NOT. I know better. I know for a fact dispenseries Do not stock their shelves full of "quality or top shelf" flower. It's commercial business. Turnover is what matters to the majority of growers in these type of situations more often than not. In my opinion. lol.

Lol. The fact that you buy dispensary weed and said "coco flavor" speaks volumes about your knowledge. Who the fuck grows their own and still buys shitty dispensary bud?

So you tatse the medium it's growing in?

Why do so many people grow in coco?

What exactly is a "coco flavor" ?

So proper dry and cure is irrelevant?

You are right but coco flower does have its own flavor and it is distinguishable . People grow in coco because it is very forgiving and you get massive yields . I can tell most hydro grows too from flavor it's not hard. I just don't like the flavor of coco grown Meds.

Everyone runs out. Probably most everyone buys dispensary bud if they are in a legal state. I have plenty of knowledge:) and most people that grow or have grown in different media can tell the difference . No reason to try and be rude . It's an opinion

Yes I taste the medium . So many people grow in coco because it is all the rage right now and you get huge yields for minimal space. It also looks fantastic in a jar or bag. Coco flavor is a taste that I cannot explain but it's like a bad Chem taste that comes in about 1/4 of the way through a joint. I'm not saying that it isn't possible to do it without that flavor but I have not seen it and I've been medicating for a long time .
Considering it's an inert medium that's interesting.
There literally nothing in coco by default so what ever chem you're tasting is the nutes the grower used or shit they added. None of which has anything to do with the medium.

Coco holds nutes so yeah you are probably right. Like I said some can probably grow great stuff in coco but I have not ever seen it. I've always been able to tell the difference. Doesn't mean your stuff isnt good or you are not a good grower . I just don't care for coco . Use it if you want too.

Full circle back to theee original culprit.........The GROWER!!!..... cha ching.... Eh... tell me what I've won! Buck. :)
You could be right but I've smoked a lot of Meds and all the coco grown Meds has been pretty whack . It's unfortunate as most stuff coming out is in coco . Commercial stuff anyways. I have never tasted Meds grown in coco that didn't taste rather shitty.

I can dig that. Maybe the CoCo guys in your area are not thinking about the finished product.
It is not hard to get good tasting bud from amended CoCo. What is dirt really made of anyway.
