thats just my opinion based on personal experience, the botanicare stuff is more coarse and fibrous and just doesnt keep up, I did a side by side of coco's last year including canna, b'cuzz, botanicare, roots organic, and tuper royal gold coco(i think it was) all were used straight outta the bag and the roots and tuper both had pearlite in the mix(not really necessary when coco has a 30% air volume soaking wet). I prefer the finer more refined and broken down coco that is in canna and b'cuzz and the growth rates of both are equal with canna being the cheaper product for me, the bcuzz and canna out classed all other coco products in rate of growth and quality of finished product(quality was just slightly less and flavors were not as good in the roots and tuper). not sure if you've noticed but the botanicare stuff is sold in a 1.5 cubic ft (about 8 1gal pots), b'cuzz and canna are sold in 50liter bags(about 12 1 gal pots), although the bag of botanicare is cheaper it contains less coco and is actually more expensive for each gallon of coco than the canna....at least for me bcuzz is $26 canna is $22 botanicare is $16....but unless im strapped for cash b'cuzz is my number one, i like the fact that its stored nice and moist in a blacked out bag and it's just my personal preference it's worked out consistently in the past and if it aint broke don't fix it. havin a 20% discount a the gro shop helps lower those prices even more
