Allright! Allright! Lets break it up boys. I want a clean fight. No hitting below the belt. Now head to your corners and come out Growing!

You must have had a bad batch. Real short fibers maybe. Just repot with a fresh batch. CocoGro never let me down. Didn't mean to jump all over ya, I just make sure I have plenty of run off coming out of my pots for two reasons. So no salt biulds up inside the Coco (it retains a lot), and to keep Root Zone fed with Oxygen from the Water pulling fresh air to the Root Zone.

that's a new one for me. coco coir that doesn't drain? sounds kinda impossible if you know what i mean. some time a batch of coco can be very dry when it's new, this means it can take up huge amounts of water before its saturated and starts to let it drain. so just try adding more and more ph corrected water until it starts flowing out again. then you are ready to go.

i have seen some very different types of coco, from the raw unprocessed stuff packed into slabs while still full of salt, to the best canna coco treated with trichoderma and pre washed to an ec of about 1.0 but all of it has flushed in the end, you just have to keep adding water. the high ec coco needs thorough flushing before use, but apart from that it will work great too.

what do you guys think about using biogrow on coco ? if I understand well, coco kinda traps nitrogen and magnesium, so it would be a good idea to use more biogrow on coco than one uses on soil....right ?

try to get coco specific nutes for ease of use -

true...no organic coco specific nutes exist sadly

Try whatever nutes you want and see how it goes. I've done 2 runs using b'cuzz coco and floranova nutes and had good results.

like bonecarver said, when growing in coco you really should use coco specific nutrients, i have gotten nothing but great results from cannas coco a+B, but there are others, the main thing is that it's coco specific. then you can just sit back and watch your plants develop, lol.
