A lot of growers are turning to coco as their preferred growing media. We’ll show you all the reasons why, plus some things you need to watch out for.
Too long and drawn out. just get to the point without all the techno mumbo jumbo.
Sri Lanka has a population of 20 million people – that’s not a tiny island
Do some research and you will find. That the manufacturing washing and buffering of coco is more harmful to the environment than peat.
You wouldn’t think so.
But check it out.
And just don’t read some idiot’s opinion.
Check out scientific studies on the subject.
I must say I was surprised.
But to tell you the truth, at my age. The environment is the least of my problems.
buffered coco 50%, 20% perlite, 20% high grade organic potting soil, 10% worm hummus. Added volcanic ash, fungi and bacteria. Grown in big grow bags it goes nuts
I used the bricks for three grows .
It drove me to Promix .
I haven’t seen this guys face since my last grow in 2018 he used to be on a podcast with another guy what happened to that pod cast?
How do you prepare your coco Scotty? What’s your process?
All I use is cocoa coir peralite and worm castings oh and some fox farms nuts here n there
Using growers coco with aptus great results
Coco and synthetic nutrients, explosive growth, much higher yields. Coco is king, its just fantastic to use. Soil is for the hippy dippy hipster nirvarna types, the woke mob that believe in all the climate change BS.;
Just wondering would you recommend coco for octopots and how doy you use recharge in that system
Living soil, sorry too soon thanks for the info!
Coco for this purpose is mostly grown in midlands of India, not on beaches. However it can still contain a lot of salts.
I have a worm bin… I plan to mix 30% worm castings into coco..Coco… growing tomatoes, but you pot growers know your stuff!!! Cheers!!

Gee I’m the odd ball here. I, prior to this video, had been using Fox Farms Ocean Forrest, but after this video I will be trying buffered Coco. I had a bad experience with Coco in the past.
Add 25% hydroton to living soil. Will blow away coca coir hands down
Man’ you was tripping on tonight’s show. hope you’re doing okay buddy. 😂. Those jokes weren’t that good. 😊
That was disappointing
Fresh or untreated Cocopeat contains alot of tannins, it’s bad for root growth.
Wow I did not know the details of salt already in coco. Thanks for sharing
And again very very good work ❤
Mother Earth 70 / 30 coco and GH nutes. I’ve been washing, buffering, and reusing the same coco for 6 grows now.
gnats ?
Don’t Jamaica plants tast better because they water with salty water
I used coco for years… now I use 6" rockwool blocks
Coco is cool, but you have to use a lot of nutrients to get those big buds
So if Coco is cleaned with chemical to replace the natural nutrients for something else that not good for organic growers because the base which is your soil wouldn’t be natural 🤔
Can cannabis be grown in coco with organic amendments like Dr Earth’s or worm castings and other stuff like that? Or do you have to use bottle nutes with coco coir? I’m not interested in mixing nutrs and playing with ppm meters but if I could use regular organic stuff with it I’d try it.
Mixing coir and hydroton. Helps let the water drain more. It can hold onto water too long sometimes. Especially with younger plants that aren’t using as much water. No special ratio. I like about 1/3 to 1/2 hydroton.
I use pro mix with
More than plenty of
Pearlite my mixture is
Just 65% pro mix
And 45% pearlite.
Nice airy mixture.
Been using a mixture of 50% coco-loco, 30% happy frog 20% perlite- paired with build a soil amendments/compost… super simple with great results time after time. Just so ppl know the grow dots work great with that soil mix as well, I’m quite suprised at the results it produces
In Sri lanka we have coconut growing all over the country so its rare you will encounter coco washed with salt water.
Canna coco. All the way. But I use advance nutrition now Iam using cheaper nutrition dutchpro. I like a a&b for veg and a A&B for flower 🌷
Ive always used 100% coco coir and always have great results.
I do a Coco, Worm casting, perlite mix with grow dots and recharge.
Coco.
Hi Scotty. We’re 1st time growers & huge fans. Using 60% premium buffered coco, 20% worm castings and 20% perlite. Synthetic liquid nutes, indoor grow tent. At about week 5. Still trying to figure out how much/often to water/feed. We increased water and now see about 15% runoff. Would grow dots work better for us on the next grow?
Bro I am running Athena proline, handwatering my 4×4 tent all filled with the same plants , but One is super low ph. It’s run off is coming off at 4.0 ph and the others are good at 5.8 but idk why one is low af when I’m using the same feed water and everything edit: I’m using coco .. tupir to be exsct
Coco yo.
Has anyone grown in coco and peat moss together?
i use canna coco and canna coco a+b much less issues i do coco + 13mm clay pellets i try to pocket clumps of clay pellets in groups n once im done n pull the core out the pot you can see large spots that air just sits in so the plant can suck in as much as it wants
can we mix/use calciuum nitrate and magnesium sulfate together for buffering ?
One of the funniest DGC members been a fan for yrs
I like CoCo/Perlite and recently have been running Turface*/Perlite on an experimental scale.
I ran my outdoor tomatoes in pure Turface with good results but found it too heavy. The Perlite makes a world of difference It’s keeping up with my Coco Hempys and it isn’t finicky. No buffering or treating, just an initial rinse.
*Turface is calcined clay. It’s fired so it won’t break down. Other names are Safe T Sorb at Tractor Supply. Very inexpensive and reusable.

Its good for beginner growers
Good stuff 👍👍👍

I would have loved to have used recharge but I’m not going to pay $60 for 16 oz that’s ridiculously overpriced
Has anyone did study on feeding coconut water to cannibas
Where coconuts grow, they have a rain season, i guess that is when they wash their coir
What do you think about fox farms coco core ?
