No such luck for me my short growing season does not allow this plant to flower yet. I have had one in a 5gal hydro bucket for a few years now.....just for fun.I got a few decent pups off it.

Coco coir is an awesome base for soilless mix's.
I do not use it.....yet. LOL
I have fellow gardeners that use it exclusively and of course their stuff looks amazing.
Many of the better(more expensive) commercial/retail soilless mix's have a coir base.
The hydroponic store which sells coir is over the river and through the woods in the state of Kentucky which is too far of a drive
The closer big box stores sell the bales of peatmoss at a reasonable cost.
Rice hulls....cannot get those either and I am in a farm/horse/animal area.
I think hulls are regional.
You can buy them online though.
