Don't Grow in Coco Coir Until You Watch This Video

[@4dogs999]

I recently started using the coco bricks. You have to set them in water and they absorb and then you mix it by hand. It is amazing. I’ve got two new plants growing in it and then I took it and mixed it with some Fox farm high-quality nutrient soil mix 3 to 1. I’ve got the biggest plants I’ve ever had and literally I don’t add any nutrients and I don’t have root rot❤

Wow I did not know the details of salt already in coco. Thanks for sharing

[@ChrisB...]

Coco is the best! I still use the cheap bricks, rinsed a few times in tap water until it runs clear, then a few hours soak in cal-mag'ed RO water. I use an old bubble bag in a 5 gallon bucket as the sieve, never had any magnesium issues during growth.

[@Terpenology]

[@CHARI955]

In Sri lanka we have coconut growing all over the country so its rare you will encounter coco washed with salt water.

[@chrstophermcnees6630]

I was about to say Cana and I swear Scotty, you took the words right out of my mouth! If I reuse the Cana do I need to wash and buffer it again.

[@mr.ganja42O]

If you buffered the coco before and reuse it I would say yes and no. yes bec of nutrient build up and salts from the last grow will still be in there and most likely be to high of a EC/PPM for seedlings or clones. and no bec you already buffered the coco before so the cal mag should still be bounded to the coco coir. And as long you don't have 600 plus ppm coming out from the run off I don't see a reason to flush and re buffer again since when you go water the fresh seedlings or clones you will be feeding naturally low ppms around 200-400ppm which will flush it out and re add some cal mag back into the coco. and always use atleast 50-125ppm of cal mag per watering or you will see cal mag problems. cheers

[@sweetleaf9668]

Thanks, brother! I grow coco-coir/perlite (Mother Earth) with worm castings and Recharge (inspired by you long ago) as a base medium in an ebb and flow hydroponics system. I always buffer using cal/mag, regardless if it says it is already washed and buffered. I love the results. I still run a diy soil medium tent (because I started in soil and have left over soil and nutes, lol), but the coco gives me better results in comparison.

[@nalley6815]

I’m growing in Mother Earth right now. I tried ocean forest (that shit is junk) on my first plant and it’s been in poor health the entire grow. Almost 2 month veg and still not ready to flip. Put a chemdog seed in Mother Earth and it’s growing its 2nd set of leaves right now. It’s doing better than the first plant ever thought about doing.

Canna also sell a half coco, half peet type of soil mix too. Been advised that a good soil mix, is a bag of that + bag of canna coco + mixed bag of clay pebbles & perlite, of the same weight as a bag of Canna coco etc... Is a really good no fuss, stable & sturdy medium, that still remains aerated & drains off run off well too. It's still predominantly a 3/4 canna coco soil mix... That this other canna coco/peet soil product can benefit balancing into otherwise coco mixes as soil mediums. I've seen his system & the soil mix of a bag mixed up equally of these 3 together. It seems a winner, any advice or opinions tho on this out there?

[@MikeParentLeap]

I like CoCo/Perlite and recently have been running Turface*/Perlite on an experimental scale. I ran my outdoor tomatoes in pure Turface with good results but found it too heavy. The Perlite makes a world of difference It’s keeping up with my Coco Hempys and it isn’t finicky. No buffering or treating, just an initial rinse. *Turface is calcined clay. It’s fired so it won’t break down. Other names are Safe T Sorb at Tractor Supply. Very inexpensive and reusable. JM2¢

For a couple years we’ve had disastrous results trying to start seeds in a mix of coco coir and sifted compost. The seeds would germinate but then either die quickly or stay extremely stunted for months until moved into new soil without the coco coir. We thought it was the compost the first year, changed the compost brand but same result so it must have been the coco. Probably not gonna bother with it again.

You can start nutrients on the first feed. I fertigate my coco with a very light nutrients solution before I even put the seed in.

Should I give the seedlings 1ml/Liter of calmag from the start to make sure they have enough? Cause that's what I did. The PH might have been to high as my first ph meter was rubbish. But 1 plant did great but the other 2 had stunted growth, even though I pre washed and buffered the coco. Maybe I should have waited with the cla mag, but I was kinda afraid the coco might still be too sodium rich.
