short list?
-I use half the media I did with peat even with more plants, thats easier to move into my space.
-I can transplant clones once into the final container, Instead of transplanting 3 times like you do in peat. That's a lot less work.
-It shaves a full week or 2 off the grow cycle, that's a week or 2 less feeding etc..
-Because of the small containers the automated feeding is stupidly easy to manage.
-the plants are immediately responsive to feedings and/or nutrient deficiencies or excesses, making dialing in the feeding a lot easier
But like you said we dont need to argue over which is better. I'm just saying why coco is better for me.
I only transplant 2x and can easily make it once. I do what i do so the plants fit in veg.
You proved a couple grows ago that the transplanting was not needed.
And do you need to break up blocks and rinse and charge your coco product. With pro mix hp i can chip what i need right off the bale ready to use.
Lots of pros and cons to all methods.
Hey its 4:20!
I use the bags of Canna loose coir/fibre blend, not the bricks. Comes in 50L bags, its RHP certified to be pest free, prebuffered and washed, ready to use straight from the bag. I pour it straight from the bag into the pots, fluff it up a little, stick a plant in and water it with nutrient solution.
This stuff. Already fluffy, It handles the same as a peat mix honestly. And yeah I dont do any of the pre washing, calcium charge bullshit some people do. Dont need to with this stuff.View attachment 1023176View attachment 1023177View attachment 1023178
I believe I paid $25 per bag? I'm not sure honestly lol. But it's slightly more expensive than promix, but works out about the same or cheaper when you factor in how much less is used.No need for perlite? Why do so many mix it in?
And how much does that bag cost?
About 75% not finished the grow yet but yoeld will not be on par as i have not maximized my training etc.This was a great thread and grow guys and gals!!
How hard were you pushing your HLG 600 would you say? Did you post final weight yet? I haven't read the last few pages yet.
Whats next?? LOL!

And for 1 gallon pots there is zero need for perlite and it will hold the perfect amount of air to water even fully saturated. The coco fiber somewhat serves the same function as the perlite. It maybe not even be necessary in 2 gallon pots if you transplant a strong rootball into it, especially if they are wider than they are tall. But for 3 gallons I'd mix in some perlite just to lighten it up a bit to help prevent channeling and compaction.
I just paid $25 for the bale of pro mix. its almost 3x cheaper than my other options.
Now thats something a uk guy can actually get an thats what i use an also with the clay balls for the hydro set up. Good balance iv foundThis stuff.

Wicked thread dude I will catch up just see a bag of coco an that was itAbout 75% not finished the grow yet but yoeld will not be on par as i have not maximized my training etc.

Was it the 2 cu. ft or the 3.8 cu ft bale???? They package their stuff in various sizes. I pay around $38 for the larger bales around the corner or can get them for cost at a garden store chain I used to be Dir. of Operations at.
Hey there @ Dirtbag please check your pmI believe I paid $25 per bag? I'm not sure honestly lol. But it's slightly more expensive than promix, but works out about the same or cheaper when you factor in how much less is used.

blunt force trauma seems like it's gonna go forever still almost all white pistils but chunking up. I think the Hyper blue cherry magoo is gonna finish right on 10 weeks.
