Buffering Brick Coco


Recommended Posts

Yeh, why i stopped using cheaper coco from bunnings. Unless you need thousands and thousands of litres it's just easier to buy pre buffered and flushed stuff from a hydro store. I mean even bunnings have PineGro branded 30l bags of pre buffered and flushed coco as well. 12$ for 30L is on point with hydro store prices too tad cheaper.

Geez thats Cheap Frank....I didn't know they stocked bagged Coco..At that price its certainly not worth the time involved with the Brick Stuff.

I got no problem with you but if you wanna go calling people out you have to know what you're talking about. Have a look at my stuff, 20 plants in that thread, 3 plants a month from November to April, all the same medium.

I have used those lil coco bricks for a long time now as frankie said there can be some diff from batch to batch, i have had some that are very hairy so to speak and had others that very fine and all in between.

 

I use to do all the soaking and flushing my self but in the end all i did was was soak the brick hot water till fully expanded the use a 2 bucket system one in side other inside 1 with holes in bottom with the coco fill with plane water and let soak for a few hours do twice then use and have not had any issues in 5-6 years doing it that way...

I have found the same thing to some extent...Mainly the Stringy stuff that's pretty easy to remove...What Nutes and strength do you start of with Ozzie.

I will start off at 1/2 strength nutes till they get established the go strait to full, the seedling would of been started in a jiffy and put in small pot till till i was ready to plant.

 

I used canna coco and the main reason that is because of its good PH buffering quality, where i was living was very old infrastructure and the ph was all over the place all the time and the canna would keep it stable...
