i'm loving the Canna Coco big time. i'm finding it great in re-use. i've got three bins, 2 regular composting and 1 with red wiggler worms. some of the plants look better with the re-used stuff than the un-used brand new.

i don't think i'll ever go back to promix.

simple,

Right now Royal Gold is available at grow shops in and around Eureka, CA. It is gradually moving south as business grows. There is no on-line availability at this time.

HI yall,

someone mentioned they don't need as much lime in coco mixes, this is because it doesn't break down as quickly as peat moss which contributes to the acidity of the mix.

Coco is also said to be crawling with bennefcial fungi such as trichoderma which are supposed to help the plant get a good start and by means of competition leave less space for any pathogenic fungi that may be lurking.

I used coco years ago and loved it!!! I'm from the 3lb school of thought and would have to remix it if I were to use it again.

PEACE

did tc ever use up that skid?...he offered some to me a while ago..

spaceman · 02-21-2010, 06:32 AM

yea that stuff was shit man way to salty balls.,.,

spaceman · 02-25-2010, 10:49 PM

yea so i am getting really rapid response with the coco more so then a regular soil mix.,. looks like this stuff is going to be alright, as long as there are no major kinks things looking great.,.,

caddis · 02-26-2010, 02:13 AM

Any perlite or coco chunks? Hydroton? I'm going 30% peat, 30% perlite, and 30% coco. 10% faerie turds......

Lungus · 02-26-2010, 04:35 AM

Now, can the faerie guano be used outdoors or is it sparkly and likely easily spotted from the air?

spaceman · 02-27-2010, 10:11 PM

they move in the clouds lungus.,.,yea i mixed in 20 % perlite

c-ray · 02-27-2010, 11:01 PM

hey caddis let us know how the mix goes...in the long run I think coco is the way to go though because it can be reused, just need to keep topping up the faery turds every grow

02-27-2010, 11:43 PM

What about all these gnome dangelberries i collected? Are they good as well?

Great for outies, brings the other fairies in and if they like the strain will happily give them a yellow foliar....

Need to compost first, too hot.

Down to Earth also sells some chunky coco which got thrown in also....

Kali · 03-10-2010, 06:38 PM

I just picked up a few blocks of cocogro (botanicare) $15 at the local shop

Canna had expanded bags but were way too much there 25 bucks (same as a bale of promix) and it was noticably less substrate

Never used this stuff before.

whats the best method for growing in coco? drip? table? top feed with the watering can

I'm thinking of adding to the coco; perlite, worm castings, dolomite lime and gia green 4-4-4 and some Myke when i transplant

Also chunky vs fine coir or mixed?
Anyone advise the use of coco specific nutes? Bio-terra (canna)?
Are normal organic teas used?

Sorry lotsa questions, I just want to make teh first go with this stuff as smooth as possible.

spaceman · 03-10-2010, 09:08 PM

i notice my growth rate is way better in coco, for veg i am using nutrient way more, to get them green and healthy.,., i think it is going to rock for my veg i am using simple nutrients{pbp} and for flower i have a mix of guanos and such am reall stoked to see them go they have been a pleasure thus far.,.,
