no...coir does not contain nutes so no increase in potency that Im aware of...use both with poo if you like or just coir

Are you referring to using coir in a casing layer, or as a supplement to horse manure as a bulk substrate?? I don't understand.

Ya using coco coir in a casing layer. So just making a vermiculite wont change nothing even if you had up some coco coir so why add some? Wich stain would be of a good potency with only BRF?

Casing layer has no effect on potency, that comes from the substrate itself. Coco coir does make an awesome addition to poo itself, however.

Coir does contain a small amount of nutes, but not enough to make a difference in potency.

it won't increase your potency.
Coco Coir changes color when dry or wet...so basically it will tell you if your casing layer is too dry or moist. Lighter colored when its dry or drying out...darker color when its moist.
Adding Coco Coir to Verm makes better casing material than using plain Verm. Plus you don't have to use a buffer with a Coco Coir and Verm casing layer.
so its newbie friendly!~
