Yeah it should be fine in coco. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be.
Because coco has totally different nutrient requirements than soil. And the CEC is waay lower than almost all soil(s).
There are nutes that are incompatible with coco.. Granted they tend to be synthetic, but not always.
Not that I am calling bullshit, but I'd like to see an example of one that is "incompatible" with coco.
house and garden.. aqua flakes locks up due to an enzyme in coco not present in hydroton, rockwool, growstones... thus why they created cocos a/b.. look it up, call hydrowholesale they handle all of h&g's northamerican business incl q&a. canna probably ran into the same issues due to the similarities in forumla. the two companies are owned by brothers.

lol it does not. It just sucks up some of the micronutrients a little bit more. You can use standard nutes in coco you just have to supplement cal-mag. As for cec it won't matter since I will be PHing my feed regardless of GH's instructions. So pH should remain stable as long as I am paying attention.

lololololol
The reasons that a soil may require differing amounts of lime to change the soil pH relates to the soil CEC and the "reserve" acidity that is contained by the soil. Soil acidity is controlled by the amount of hydrogen (H+) and aluminum (Al+++) that is either contained in, or generated by the soil and soil components. Soils with a high CEC have a greater capacity to contain or generate these sources of acidity. Therefore, at a given soil pH, a soil with a higher CEC (thus a lower buffer pH) will normally require more lime to reach a given target pH than a soil with a lower CEC.

Know what you're talking about before you argue with me.
Do yourself a favor and live by your own words.
Ok guy. Like three people here have shown you where you're wrong but you still want to argue. I'm done here, I'm not doing your homework for you. The bottom line is plants grown in (that better?) coco requires a different nutrient formula. This is the bottom line.
