| When I de-pot a new plant I always re-pot immediately; maybe that is the difference. I trim off bad roots and that's it. Do you think humidity or lack of has something to do with bud blast?
Talking about coir mixes is like saying you drive a car. We all have tweeked our mixes to fit our conditions. I start with Aussie Gold and then add more of what it already has in it plus a few other basic ingredients. Mayres uses a lot more coir then I do in his recipe. I like lots of DynaRok which really opens up the mix. My recipe doesn't even look wet right after watering and actually has a fluffy look to it. What brand of coir (like spraghum) matters a lot also. I'm going to do some experimenting with tree fiber which is known to be great at opening up moss and slow to decompose.
Now that I am growing under lights I need to add more coir to my next re-pot because the lights dry out the mix much faster. With T5's and our no humidity I'm watering every other day!! It's a never ending learning process but I think I have almost gotten the mix down to a science. (at least at my house)
