How to recondition coco coir for reuse

A look at my method for reconditioning coco coir for reuse in future
grow cycles. A fairly small amount of effort can save you a fair amount
of money!

    I just used some hygrozyme that was about 8 years old on a plant, it smelled and looked the same but it caused the leafs to discolor and go funky, i should have known better.

    I like to use the front of my oscillator fan, the grid part…it makes a great sift for the roots…

    Turn the music down, your voice disappears

    The hygrozyme is probably worth more then the coco. Is it really worth it.

    I use my Cocco for two years , i just clean it like you, I’m just throwing out some that was almost three years, I started to notice some deficiencies and remembered the last time I changed it was Dec 2014, I run the stuff steady so ya, you can use it a couple years for sure.

    Can u soak it in a hygrozyme solution for a day? My coco is acidic 6.5 feeds are 5.2 in flurry test

    If you wait a few months and let the coco dry out all but the biggest roots dissappear.

    Rinsing and buffering is absolutely necessary.👍 This step is missed by too many people on YouTube.

    Dr MJ Coco also did a good video covering this process of Rinsing and buffering.

    Do you have to wash your pots ?? if re using

    Just kinda wondering who is removing the old roots and matter in nature? I grow organic and I have always removed the old rootball and then broke up the media by hand and planted in it. The old tiny roots are dead vegetate matter right? lol  It loosens the soil like perlite does I figure, and no I don’t put tender babies in it but when they are ready for bloom , they can handle this "hot" media, i have found. I have run the same cocoa 4 times.. beautiful results.

    You need to get a stand for the camera. The constant moving & trying to focus is very off putting



  13. @dabomb2000pacman on February 21, 2024 at 6:39 am

    Just cut the big roots out and plant. I don’t remove roots

    shitty background music is way too loud. very distracting. don’t ever do it again. ever.



  15. @brotharuss on February 21, 2024 at 6:47 am

    what is your coir perlite ratio?



  16. @Jonrocat on February 21, 2024 at 6:53 am

    if you fed your coco properly with the correct nutrient’s and don’t ever put straight water through it(which ruins coco’s natural cal/mag buffers) you shouldn’t have to do anything but add shitloads of enzymes to deal with dead root matter

    Should put some roots in a glass of hygrozyme / cannazym and record it and put into time lapse see how long it actually takes to break down or if it even breaks roots down at all!
