Canna coco is nice. Perlite I’m not sure but always be sure to rinse, charge, and buffer your coco

I don't know about the prepared coco as I like more control... I usually prepare coco from bricks by expanding and rinsing it through a 1/8" screen with tap water to get the majority of dust and small particles out, then I soak in a trashcan with a lot of tap water and a heavy dose of calmag and stir every hour or so for a few hours... the coir will float and any sand or heavy debris will sink... then I scoop out the coir and rinse well with RO and then I give a final rinse of RO + calmag.

I use the medium chunky perlite... brand doesn't matter... but be sure rinse your perlite too... lots of dust in that stuff.

Coco Loco has some organics in it, so maybe it would work with the powders you want to use.

Just went with canna coco. It's what most people seem to use in the usa. Look like the coco coir I wanted I would have to get from Canada and I dont want to pay that shipping lol

Which Canadian brand were you after?

It was Mo KoKo but I bought canna coco as its pretty much the same and was easier to get

Canna coco is best their brick form is better than bagged imo

Has anyone else had little weeds grow from coco coir? What is this?

Canna coco is good, but coco is never organic, it's hydro.
