Good coco coir brand?

[Bertalishas]

I usually use brick coco and wash it and what not but it’s a pain in the ass always having to do that, then let it dry before I can make my soil mix. Do any of you guys know of a brand that sells coco already washed and not in brick form?

 

[bEelzeBosS]

Lots of brands, but Canna is head and shoulders above the rest. They sell brick as well that is pre-buffered and doesn't need to be washed.

I disagree about canna being head and shoulders above the rest.
I've used canna for years I've no problem with it but it needs 35/40% perlite.

canna almost falls through the sieve the cheaper brick coco is full of coco fibre its reluctant to go through at all, canna holds around 20% more water than the brick coco I have.

Decent but you would have gotten much larger colas if you had added perlite. I dunno if you're trying to brag or what but that plant is good but honestly not that great lol. I'm sure there will be people to come around and show you what a real cola looks like

Perlite doesn't equal bigger colas. Cola shape and size is dependent on strain not perlite. Guess I should start flushing too.

Didnt say that it does, but that pic is definitely not something to brag about which i find funny

Never flush.

You're starting to hurt my 1 gallon pots feelings.

I don't agree that coco needs any perlite, it's perfect as is. Canna is good, so is Botanicare, and so is the hydrofarm brand-I'm talking about bagged coco here.

I should add that imo canna coco is great stuff, not just here to troll

Read all of my threads then, contribute is all that I do. I just hate braggards, like I really hate them .. esp when they have nothing to brag about.

Yes it's a well trained plant in a 1 gallon pot. I'm not bragging I'm proud of my plant. Could you please point out the issue with it? I'm all ears, always looking to improve.

Trace amounts on top from the coco being dumped in the same large bin as the others. I break up all the coco chunks in the large bin.

The other plant was a coco/perlite mix.

Canna is the best I’ve ever found. Tried many different varieties

Aren't you fairly new to growing? Shit you should feel proud to have such success.

I hope you're using perlite. You'll get bigger colas.

Brand new. Must be lucky.

How exactly does perlite give you larger colas?
