I go straight coco now, seedlings grow fast, no trouble filling solos with roots in the same amount of time.... I have no clue why I wasted money. In soil I was looking at pumice, reusable and a little less dusty

Or get it wet.

and that right there is the reason i've never used it....
Rock and a hard place there bub, I am ALSO a woman. You can't guard from all 3 sides ;]
Caffeine shouldn't hurt you. Try one cup and see.
Exactly but it's space occupying air! Air is a good insulator so it's a very useful form of air for me
Round 3 no perlite, wish me luck. But I have been slimming down. Recently started using maxibloom only instead of gh micro and bloom. I am trying to see how low tech/ingredient I can go. So far my yields are staying the same as I cut stuff out. Perlite doesn't seem to help in coco unless you wanna push for more waterings. I don't need 8 lbs a grow though, it's all personal hehe

Glad they turned out tasty, if a little small. Cling or freestone?

Just talked to a friend, he said his peaches are small this year also.

Cling, they are Redhaven. Not grown commercially anymore. Had a friend pick up the tree for me because I couldn't find one anywhere. Edit: They are freestone, my mistake.
I wear a respirator when I mix it. I have a very nice N100 LOL my grow can't survive on coco pith alone. I need the air space or my root temps are too high.

I had a lot of drainage issues and slow drying when my perlite wasn't high enough. I'm considering going 50/50 coco perlite on the next grow.

That's a good idea!
Wouldn't it be harder to breath if it was wet?
Yeah, my ladies are on the same level as my bedroom with central air, roots stay pretty cool here, but for sure. My house is a pretty ideal lung in my climate. So I can get away a little easier than hotter or more humid areas. It's only horrendous for a month here, and I can compensate by running my lights at night for the late summer grow...
That's sweet!
