Water and oxygen retention. Coco as an additive to other mediums is very common.
I use 60/40 soil/coco and would never change. Ever ever.
Well hay, you look to have a good start.. They look ok, except for some bug damage. Which is to always be expected outdoor. HELL, I just noticed my plants have aphids this morning. So I did an emergency neem oil/organic lemon juice solution and sprayed. Will do again in 4 days, Then 4 after that. Anyhow I would suggest you start a neem oil regimen also! Your plants will thank you for it, No BS here... And btw, just curious because I noticed your background vegetation looks to be tropical?? What plant zone on the earth are ya?
Seven dust is poison...and harms benificial insects.
I see now, yeah I got slammed pretty hard by bugs on my reveged girls. But I did a second round of neem spray the other evening and they are responding well. Here's a couple pics of my reveged gas mask (the white stuff is Diatomaceous Earth as another preventive) last one is a couple blue gelato from seed

Thanks buddy! Yeah I've been running clone for clone of this strain for about 4 yrs now. And just as good as ever! And those are strange looking spots? I must say. Overall your plant looks good. But hopefully that critter doesn't keep chewing away at it.
Growing flowers attracts beneficial insects like Green Lacewing, Lady Bugs, and predatory wasps. I'm lucky that my wife is going to horticulture school and is learning this stuff, very helpful!!! You just gotta find the right plant because a lot of bugs have different mouth parts and can't feed on every pollinating plant. Flower Power...
Ya know your buddy might be right. Because I just stopped short and i almost told ya it looks like something different than a bug bite, like acid rain or some shit. But some strange Florida mold/mildew kinda makes sense. I live in the northwest, and have never seen spots like that. At least it's just on the bottom leaves from what I saw.
You have me interested...why wouldn't you change, what made it better? I was going to go 50/50 next grow to try it. Do you add perlite, verm, compost..
Same reason people add perlite.
My 2 future Mama plants.
I added it just for the fuck of it to be brutally honest, I was growing coco straight for years just decided to go 50/50 this year with ocean forest and coco. I added potash
Thank you, best of luck to you as well
