been running staight canna coco for about a year and i've just recently started amending with the empire which is realy junky and my plants (not to mention my roots!) have never looked better. drainage is soo much better. i wasn't sure of the source of the empire coco as i got it from the local gardening center so i did fllush/rinse it before i used it though.
I think the retention of nutes/water is the same for all the grades of coco. Or at least to me it appears so.
BUT I love chunks of coco for this reason: In straight coir, my plant roots usually grow out with a vengeance till they hit the side of the container then head down. Much of the coco is untouched. BUT with chunks the roots hit the pcs and have to go around them. Alot of the time they hit a chunk and head down. This seems to use up much more of the available area of coco in the pot.
tough to put to words but hopefully the point is not lost. -BB
