What do you guys mean when you say "BIOBLEND is more forgiving than BIOCOCO with a wider sweet spot"?

BIOBLEND is a blend of BIOCHARGE, coir, peat and perlite.

BIOCOCO is a blend of BIOCHARGE and coir of different particle sizes and fiber length to achieve the desired air filled, water filled porosity.

In general it is the blending of peat that creates a product that is more "forgiving". What exactly do we mean by forgiving? In general our observation is that you can mess more things up without losing your crop. The soil is not going to be as sensitive to fertilizer selection as a coir media. It is going to be less likely to suffer nutrient imbalances and lock out than commodity coir products.
