well i bought a bag, and its somewhat larger that what i see on here.. will it still work?

here's what i'm using.. https://www.htgsupply.com/productdeta...?productID=514

using botanicare pro grow and i've recently switched to using rain water, no more ph worries. it's always in the range of 5.8 - 6.1.

that'll work fine. I'd like to see a pic of the actual product if you have one, the description says chunky, so I'm thinking you might get better aeration than regular coir fiber.

As with all coco, if you aren't sure how well they cleaned it of excess salt at the factory, flush it well.

sunleaves is great stuff but needs to be thuroughly flushed to remove a high salt content... I mix coarse coco such as sunleaves 50/50 with a finer grind and enjoy it ..

Also be careful with rainwater and always test it.. it will not always be the correct PH...

Oldpeculiar... it is about the same grind as Atamis Bcuzz Bounce blosks that I use

Atamis Bcuzz Bounce coco(coarse)

Botanicares coco(fine)

Both mixed 50/50

thats a number two pencil for size comparison.. seems like it should be fine, I've done tests, flood it and see how long it takes to dry.. seems alright.

i started my seed in their super plugs (https://www.sunleaves.com/detail.asp?sku=SSSP355#) so we'll see how it goes. test dummy.

How do you plan on watering?

Hand watering for now. possibly a drip system in my flowering box.

I would mix it well.... have you emptied the bag out fully... is there finer coco at the bottom? if not I would buy a 5kilo block of botanicare cocogro coco and mix em together

yeah its all the same. i dumped it all out and flushed it in a large container until it stopped bleading a redish runoff.

looks like it's be perfect for drip, see a lot of growers using coco croutons in drip which is a slightly larger chunk than what you have there. Think I'd mix it with a finer grade like Ono said for hand water to waste

Yeah it will owrk just as is... not much diff in size from straight Hydrotron... the plants will still get a strong footing in it ... but I am glad I mixed the two as the coarse pot dries out much faster than the mixed coco... if you are hand watering this can really bite you and your plants in the ass fast causing lock out
