I’ve been growing in soil my entire growing career but I’m interested in switching to coco. My main reason for the switch is I can fit more smaller pots in the tent and still get the same size plants. I tried growing in coco once before but it was a complete failure.
I used the same coco I use to grow mushrooms (coco bliss) I rinsed the pith off with fresh water 4 times and then buffered with cal/mag solution 4 times for 3 hours each time, totaling 12 hours. I really wanted to make sure lol. I used Dynagro nutrients and supplemented with cal/mag Ph’d to 6.5 and it still locked out and all my plants died.
I’m thinking it’s a problem with the coco itself and my buffering. I want to use Canna coco bricks next time I grow. I think they’re pre washed and buffered. Has anyone used the bricks?
Also is there anything you guys can share with me that will help my switch to coco? Thanks in advance
