Hi,
I emailed Canna with a question about using their coco medium along with their coco nutes.
Their recommendation was to use a flood to waste system. This would not be a convenient setup for me and I really need to use a more "typical" recirculating system with reservoir. I don't know where I would continually drain the runoff and it seems as though it would use a lot more nutes (some are going down the drain) and cost more $$.
Has anyone out there used Canna Coco and the associated coco nutes in a grow with better results than just plain rockwool with Canna Aqua nutes in a top feed or ebb and flow system?
If the use of coco does not offer significant advantages such as ease of use or yield, I might just stick with rockwool.
Thx

There are several different methods of drain to waste some are more costly then others and can be less successful depending on your environment. Drain to waste can be the best way for Canna Coco depending on how you waste it. Here are a few of the methods I am familiar with hope this helps.
Flood and Drain to waste- The most wasteful, expensive laziest way to go. Not only would you spend mass amounts of money on nutrients down the drain or in your front rose garden. unless your waste goes to your outdoor garden 
you lose a lot of money. I find that people who do this method interact with there plants less and that leads to problems down the road. Every plant get water every time if it needs water or not which can cause soggy bottoms root issues due to lack of oxygen..
