Grow Mediums Questions about nutes

[JAYAR]

What's up everyone I've decided to use coco for my next grow but I have a couple of questions before I start if u could help a bro out.

Are general organic nutrients compatible? I want to keep it simple but I have these nutes:
Bio grow and bloom
Bio root
Bio marine
Bio weed
Cal mag
Diamond black humic acid
Bloom booster

Which of these are necessery? All the bottles are practically new id hate to have to get sum new ones but I will if I have to.

Last q is.. how can I keep the coco reusable? I like the idea of never having to buy new soil.

Thanks for the help

I've heard coco is reusable, I guess you can flush with enzymes to kill off any left over stuff. I'm reusing mine. I flushed it as welll as I could pulled out a bunch of root matter mixed it up. I'll find out. I know there is still salts in from my last grow. At some point I'll have to add fresh material to it. Coco will break down or degrade.
I use cutting edge nutes in mine. Think your fine.

hey Jayar.

i would say to change the bio with some coco based neuts f.eks Canna A+B and keep the cal/mag as the plant often seem to be wanting much of that in a early stage.

my 2 cents would be to spend those extra few bucks to get the correct neuts for your grow..it will save you alot of trouble and energy :Sharing One:

Coco naturally hogs Magnesium and Calcium, Coco specific nutrients are supplemented with more MG & CA to compensate for this. It's like using a Hydro nutrient in Compost.. It would work, But not very well... Coco nutrients for Coco and Soil nutrients for Soil "My 2 cents"

That sheds some light on my mag def last grow. Thanks rebel.

Thanks for the replies guys. A+b sounds easy to use too... I like it. Last question should I get the compressed stuff or loose bag coco?? Saw a brick for sale locally for cheap but I think I read something about the brick kind being bad

 

[Roark]

I went the bag route. But I just jumped into coco.

 

[RebelRoy]

i wold go for the bag coco.. like canna coco pro or something..(thats the only thing i`ve used) it`s supposed to be buffed up with some goods..and you can start using it without flushing or anything.

and yes, a+b is easy to use :thumbs: and it works :Sharing One:

Another vote for bag coco. Mix A+B, pour in and watch the growth. Goes hand in hand with the KISS-path "Bailers Booya"
