Ive never heard of anybody rinsing canna or any other refined coco product. The only kind that needs rinsing is the compressed blocks as far as I know.
False.
Canna Coco comes "pre-charged." Their concept of a healthy pre-charge is best understood by watching the runoff. One gallon of runoff from a three gallon planter of coco will carry a minimum runoff of 2.2ec. This means that the ec of the media is likely much higher than what washed out.
Now ask yourself. Does your brand new seedling required a ~3.0 to 4.0ec in the media?
Thanks Canna...
Of all the brands of coco I find I have to rinse Canna more than any other. Compressed coco I can use right out of the bag because it's runoff is closer to 0.6ec. I also find Canna Coco to contain more "non-coco" than any other brand. Things like leaves, seeds and nuts, sticks, and even shredded up bits of plastic trash. If it weren't enough to taint the coco with a super high charge and a bunch of other crap, they also stiff you on about 10L of coco in their "50L" size bags.
IMO, there are few outright falsities going around right now. One of them being that Canna Coco is the highest quality. If you asked me, I'd say Canna Coco is among the lowest quality coco on the market with the compressed stuff being cleaner, dependable, and what I consider to be a better mixture of coir to fiber.
So now you have heard of someone who absolutely rinses his Canna Coco.
Not all mixes will be the same, you cannot depend on any kind of uniformity in the Coco industry brand to brand. Always, ALWAYS, get at least 1 gallon of runoff from your planter before putting your seed in there and verify the level. Don't just assume your coco is clean, because it very well might not be.
