That's more like a soil. you want straight coco so you can feed everyday

As larrypizzimp93 said coco loco is a soil with additives and coco included. It's not the same as a coco grow.

I want all the benefits in a coco grow but I want to be able to water every other day Any suggestions. I was thinking shorter veg for a smaller plant in a bigger pot And maybe use a plastic pot rather then an air pot of fabric pot so that I can water every other day

What’s a good coco mix.

The whole benefits of coco is unlocked with multiple feedings daily. If you really don't want to even feed daily stick with soil.

The benefits Iam talking about is Less bugs. No overwater. Flush with no problems And tons of oxygen to the roots. U don’t think i can take advantages of this coco benefits with bigger pots so I can water every other day ?

Canna Coco.
Straight, nothing added.

Yep,
I used perlite @30% before.
But now not, .a big pot you can easily get away with a feed every 2 days.

Yes I had gnats before in coco, I just let the top of the coco get dry sometimes, that seems to keep them under control.

Im using THC 2 part nuits.
Canna Coco 1 part seems good.

I heard laying a half inch of sand on top of coco keeps them away? U know if there any truth behind this ? And are gnats more common in coco then soil ? If u k ow ?

Yes the sand works also, common or more, I cant say.
If you use coco without anything organic you shouldnt get gnats.
I was using some organic bio booster to help the uptake of nuits and believe thats where they came from.
