It's decent from what I seen consistent quality. I think it's a bit pricey. I like Tupur which is cheap and medium quality consistency but overall my fav and second if I want the best possible coco money can buy I go nutrifeild

I am currently growing in this medium and feel the growth is not as quick as it is in Tupur. Tupur says you can water multiple times a day, I was watering twice a day when growing in it. Sanctuary says once a day and it tends to remain pretty wet. I actually think you could water once every two days in it. Plants right now have pretty small fan leaves and thin stems compared to Tuper.

Anything I would need to know up front bout coco as it will be my 1st run with coco?. How long do I need to soak it and what Ph should the soak water be 5.8? . Any other little idiosyncrasies about coco I need to know going in?

I did not soak the sanctuary coco, I just took a well rooted cutting, dusted it with myco and planted it.

I did a side by side w/ pure coco vs coco Loco by Fox farm. The pure coco had deficiencies but the coco Loco looked lush the whole grow and yield was a tad higher, it's also dirt cheap. I treated the coco Loco like pure coco and added cal mag and flushed once a month.
