What are your opinions on their products? I plan on getting the 70/30 mix, micro(blue), bloom(red) for my next run. Thanks

I like it. It’s got more perlite than Fox Farms Mother Earth. I usually cut my coco with a little bit of amended soil to help out with pH balance, and make a little more hospitable environment for my beneficial bacteria, but it’s totally fine on its own.

Don’t forget to wash it! I usually try and run some water thru it after rehydrating to get rid of any extra contaminants.

it’s very dirty… the perlite isn’t of quality and isn’t washed. The residue from It would ruin a fabric pot. It has a lot of tiny perlite that doesn’t float. It really needs to be strained.
I wouldn’t purchase it again. Best of luck.

Well I couldn't get the Cultivation Nation 70/30 mix. So I went with what I could Coco Loco.
I may get the compressed blocks next but they were unavailable aswell.
I did get the cultivation nation nutes red and blue only.
I plan on testing these on Brisco's Bargain Beans Starberry GOJI

Bag says triple washed and has been amended similar to Happy Frog. Should I still wash it?

Thank you
My local big box stores everything outside next to flower beds. Everytime I buy mix from them it is full of bugs ?. I have given up on them.

I bought my first 10 bag to test it, good stuff.

so I bought another 10 bags and have only used 1 of those, same grade and makes me not care about buying it from the locals when free shipping and they even direct shipped from the maker of it.

if this version wasn't so expensive I would suggest the premium and pre charged version. it used to be like 20-25 bucks.

I’ve never messed with coco how different is it from soil right now I use roots organic and I don’t reuse my soil so every harvest is around $150 in dirt this would be so much cheaper

 

[Meatman]

I’m thinking I could do 1 bag of coco to 1 bag of roots organic and mix them good…sorry for jacking the thread

All good
This is first time I have bought coco.
I've read mixing in some peat moss can help with mycorrhiza and other bennies but I have no idea.

That's about my soil cost per grow plus any amendments like castings, kelp meal etc.
