Recycling coco - tips and experiences

[Kosmo]

Kosmo...You don't need to water with Cannazyme for a week. That is just a week lost. Add the Cannazyme to the nute mix and keep going.

Yes you could

I tryed that once, just replanting then watering nutes. But bc the older bed was comply taken over by roots, witch tents to happen when you grow in beds with extremely healthy plants. I needed enzymes to eat away at the roots, and the force of me watering to "wash" way the old roots. To make the new plants less stressed and give them a rich bed to grow on ... I havnt tried yet, but i bet letting the bed bone dry out, then watering warm water would also basically do the same. But throw expereince i found just adding enzymes to the mix and just transplanting and water, isnt the way to reuse the Coco Coir in a bedding style(Unless you empty the beds, but then thats more work)

In pots, yes i could see how that would be wasteful(watering just enzymes for a week). bc you can also brake up the coir and help take out the roots, and brake them up. So when u do replant a clone into this older coir, the older roots would have already been broken down and "washed" away(for the most part, compared to beds). I'd still water the reused Coco Coir before transplanting clones, (thats proven fact to reduce stress, and Highly recommended by Canna)

Lots of ways to grow.

Well Kosmo,,,I grow 7 foot trees in 5 gallon buckets. They are so full of roots that you couldn't break the coco apart with a jackhammer. I cut out the old root ball with a keyhole saw, throw a clone in the empty hole and keep going. The plants love it.

Gnatrol WDG will end your gnat problem forever. Its a bit pricy but after 2 application's about a week apart you shouldnt have gnats.

that's a good idea man

are you talking about those blue things the butchers have? or that small thing you plug in for mosquitos?

yeah it's not easy to eradicate them totally, but then again, you don't need to, lol. keeping them under control in low numbers will allow you to get a normal type yield, which is all that really matters eh?

but i am definitely gonna try your electric mosquito killer idea, lol. this set of slabs has quite some gnats crawling around, so i was planning to add solbac to the first tank full anyway, but this i must try, great contribution knna, finally i can get my revenge on the gnats, not just the gnat larva, ROFLMAO.
