best substrate besides poo?

I am currently growing on popcorn, when I get the extra cash ill be going back to rye berries, so beside horse poo, what would be the best substrate to grow on? I usually put down some wet verm on the bottom then my colonized seeds then cased with 50/50 peat and verm, I read a lot on here bout coconut coir, and notahacker420 has a pic of a monster pe grown on coir, so is it safe to assume that coir is one of the better choices for best results?

would horse poo be better? I have a friend with a horse farm with 7 or 8 horses, and she has a huge pile of shit that's been getting leached for years, but I cant access it till the spring, so for now ill go with coir but in the spring when I can get to the horse poo, would I be better off going with the poo or sticking with coir?

cubes will grow on anything really,cigarette butts,bras,bibles,you name it and its been done cubensis evolved on manure over millions of years so thats what they like the best..not coconuts..think about it for a minute.. tho if you have both coir&manure use them together

They didn't evolve to grow on brown rice either yet I've never seen a BRF cake outperformed by a manure cake made the same way.

I get excellent results from brf as far as production, but as for potency Iv always got better results from rye berries, whether grown directly on the rye berries or rye berries to bulk. I know everyone says the substrate doesn't matter, but I have certainly noticed better potency with rye.

I use coir/verm and can't see myself using anything else any time soon. At least for cubes any way.

I knew I would get at least one of these responses. I know the pros say that substrate doesn't matter as far as potency, and I certainly am not arguing with the pros, when I said that I get better potency from rye berries than I do from brf, that's just my personal opinion based on my personal experience, wich isn't a whole lot. (thought id clear that up so I don't sound like just another jerkoff)

I planted a cactus within some dried while moss.. keeping the roots wet and airy..

What? Your post is not only unrelated to this thread but off-topic for this forum. (I like your sig though)
