i have actually heard that coco chip mixed coco substrate is superior to pure coco. I currently grow with coco and have used Flora Flex and Canna Coco. i watch a youtube video where this large scale grow operation was using coco chips and coco fiber and they said the chips allow for larger air pockets to benefit the roots and the roots will still stay moist. If you find a good source i’d be interested in a link. I found the company that the grower used but their site was geared towards large scale businesses and not the average consumer so i wasn’t able to source from them. I did just find a roots organics version, i’m not seeing a buffered coco chip yet but i would really like to find one. https://hydrobuilder.com/roots-organics-coco-chips-compressed-12-x12.html

Are used to use pure cocoa fibre for years. You know the time you’re buy in hydro shops. I found mixing in some perlite Greatly improved root growth
I usually use Coco bricks now days, I find it easier to store and cheaper. It’s easy to hydrate, and you just buffer it with Calimag.
I have seen Coco chips available recently i’m thinking it would be good to mix with Coco fibre for the root system, and also, I like to recycle my cocoa fibre I think the Coco chips would be good for this.
