JohnBudman Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Gonna go for the canna pro, seems to be tried and tested and can get it from pretty much every shop. What’s people’s thoughts on pebbles? Seen all sorts of set ups.. some in the bottom of pot, some mixed into the medium, some just on top or just straight coco no messing!?

Very little shit in it and very uniform throughout and quite airy from the off and that's bricks. You can get the bagged loose stuff as well.I wouldnt look anywhere else now.70 Not coco, but I've been growing loads of none-cannabis plants in the jiffy potting mix and I've been blown away by how good it actually is, and initially I was concerned because I don't rate their propagation range but I needn't have being. I would deffo give the coir ago now after my experience with the potting mix and your glowing review of the coir. Just now, ukbudz said: The last 4-5 bags of ecothrive I used hadn't been buffered properly, took a few heavy feeds to sort the plants out. Went back to canna coco pro and have had 0 problems since. I've been using canna coco pro now exclusively because of the same problems with the ecothrive, I was having to increase the input EC for about a week after potting on or else I'd have slow to start, a bit pale, plants. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catweazle1 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 @GSZZ I had been using Ugro coco. which in comparison was quite coarse and bitty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedjones Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Using ecothrive here with no probs. Have also used the ugro bricks in the past with good results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blerie420 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I've been knocking them out with poundland coco lol! I've used ugro, canna, ecothrive from the shop but for cheap and cheerful poundland has stood me well. Bought the shop out when they came round last season, just get a couple of old pillow cases and rinse them through until the water is dead clear and it's a winner! Failing that though, I helped a mate with theirs and they used solely ugro. Same process, rinse until rinsed and it came up between coarse and fluffy, and held their girls really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kush Lover Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have been using Canna Coco Pro Plus for the last 4 or 5 grows and would recommend it but then my only other experience is the Canna Natural Coco. I keep wanting to give no till a try but using coco just seems so simple especially as I have used the same batch on those 4-5 grows and there seem to be no problems.

ganja69 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Anyone use pearlite in the canna coco, or just 100% coco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kush Lover Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Just 100% coco for me, someone correct me if I am wrong but from what I have read its pretty useless in coco with no added benefit. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budelaire Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) I once found Vitalink Coco in a local shop and it was great, really light bags from being distributed half dry but still fully fluffed and seemed very clean when rinsing too with a very nice consistency to boot. A god send when I was in a sweaty loft weight wise. I usually rinse coco thoroughly even if it’s fully expanded premium sacks, No matter the source I rinse through with water to a clear run off, then treat with nematodes as I feed with either the grow or bloom mix as required as the final step. asked a fair few uk shops to get me Vitalink coco and they all said sod off so not sure what’s the beef with it. Loved my £30 for 10l Vitalink 1 part coco feed I must admit and was well impressed with the coco. Edited June 22, 2022 by Budelaire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock1 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Cana coco pro. Sometimes I just buy the cheat bricks and just add 10-20lt of loam based compost to every 50-70lt depending on the brick size and add some garden lime. Both seem just as good to be honest.
