Not so happy with coco. My pots (23L) take forever to dry enough to water again, 7 days or more. I hand water with 20 to 30% runoff and my plants wilt for over a day. Maybe I should have used a smaller pot or made a mix.
Hank I hope u have at least 25% pearlite in there. Also if ur plants r wilting they are telling u to much water my brother. And 23 litres? Hope u have some space Cuz that is huge. I use no bigger than five gallons and that's pushing it to be honest.Not so happy with coco. My pots (23L) take forever to dry enough to water again, 7 days or more.

Canna Coco Natural Plant Medium states on the bag that it is pre buffered with what I couldn't tell you.Check the side of the bag of coco that you're using. There are many many products on the market the come pre-buffered. The RHP Dutch Standard of quality for horticultural substrates, ensures a strictly monitored quality insurance that will give you constant proven results. Check for the RHP stamp on the bag. Canna COCO, Nutrifield Premium and H&G COCO are products that I know to be pre-buffered and PH'ed. We use these products right out of the bag! Mix with perlite for better aeration. :D
Not sure don't use it. However I mix 60/40 coco perlite with any coco. I'd say mixing 25% would be the bare minimum. Just my opinion.Do you pre rinse with ph'd water, or precharge with nutes right out of the bag? mixing 25% perlite recommened with canna coco coir right outta the bag?
that's some funny shit sealed,just made my morning :Di love canna coco. sometimes i just wanna swim in it like scrooge mcduck in his vault.
So I currently grow in 4x8 beds of pure Canna Coco and I hand water about 30 gallons, per bed, every 3 days. I can honestly say you do not need to wait for the medium to dry out before watering again. The frequent waterings is what supplies your roots with O2. Also, IMO, when running coco you HAVE to be applying teas on a fairly regular bases. This will create massive roots, protect from rot and make your coco reusable over and over..Not so happy with coco. My pots (23L) take forever to dry enough to water again, 7 days or more.

Depending on the size of the plant, I pre-charge with 1/2 strength base nutes and full strength CAL/MAG... ppms somewhere around 700...I just did my first coco transplant this week. Precharged with ph corrected ro water.
Then I topped off with half strength nutes. See how mine fairs in the next cpl of weeks.
No perlite in my mix, seems the Canna Coco lets the water flow through with lightening speed.
Anyone else?
What about Jack's over Canna in coco.So I currently grow in 4x8 beds of pure Canna Coco and I hand water about 30 gallons, per bed, every 3 days.

Coco is the shit, period. I have tried bucket systems, Rockwool cubes and Peat/Soil mixes for years but have never seen production like this before...
I just finished a run using H&G coco base with a little cal/mag and some sea green and killed it. I was going to reorder jack's salts but I think I will go this route http://www.hydroponic-research.com/our-products/ (veg+bloom dirty)...It's pricey but an all-in-one product would be LEGIT..What about Jack's over Canna in coco.
Local shop is the only joint with Canna for like 25 miles. But using premixed stuff, paying for shipping of those nutes really sux paying that much for water that I can pull out of my tap. Paying over 50-70% extra.I just finished a run using H&G coco base with a little cal/mag and some sea green and killed it.
