Pgoing to be growing in sunshine advanced ultra coir, whitch apparently isent 100℅ coco coir.
The nutrientz I want to go with is house and garden coco a&b. Is this suitable for the sunshine ultra coir? Even though it is not all 100% coco coir. But it is almost. Or should i just go with the house and garden soil a&b or aqua flakes?? Need help please, thanks!

A good coir nutrient is designed to not cause "salt" build up in the media as fast as soil nutrients would.
I would use a coir nutrient for this mix.
Be aware that you should not use a nutrient for a week or so after planting in it. (it has a low seedling nutrient level added that lasts a week).
This mix is designed to "hold" water a bit more. Be aware to only water when needed.

I don't like H&G after having tested it.

I would go Hesi or Canna before the H&G!

I would USE a Ca/Mg from the start of feeding.

A nice coir product if you like coir!

What he said ^
Absolutely NEED to use ca/Mg when using coco, this is more important than anything else.

The canna nutes I have heard good things with but I'm growing in coco/perlite mix at the moment using only maxi bloom 1 part and micro nutes and they are looking pretty nice (I have a thread in LED section if interested).

Keep an eye for fungus gnats as well in coco.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice guys. Yea I heard a lot about the cal mag feeding with coco coir. I have humboldt nutrients equilibrium; an organic cal mag additive. So If I go with H&g I should be getting the nutrients for coco right?

I would agree with you. After using it I went back to simple Dyna-Gro. Sucks because I have a gallon left of H & G. Might use it all up anyway on some veggies.

H&G works,,,,,,to many damn parts/extras to buy and get used at to many damn ratio's!! What do you do with the stuff that's left from having to make different ratio's.
To expensive in the long run.
