The very first Coco I ever bought was Earth Juice brand since our old hydro store ran out of any other options. Earth Juice Coco is ALL Pyth. No Coir of Fiber at all. I'll never forget how that went. We were container growing in 3-5 gallon pots with Coco mixed with some Perlite. Obviously, since we had just hydrated the bale, we didn't need to water in the plants. There was plenty of moisture there.

Two days later, it was still good and moist. Five days later it was still too wet to water. TWO WEEEKS later it was still moist and we handn't water since transplant! The plants looked all wilted and no growth had really occurred at all. I thought this Coco was a bunch of crap. Thankfully, Nandro came by and got us straightened out with the Botanincare which, although is still got quite a bit of Pyth in it, was FAR superior to the Earth Juice.

What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't give up hope on Coco simply because you don't have the proper Coco for your system/setup. The S1 Custom Blend in the Green 'n Grow, or Coco similar to it, would do you well. The drainage is superior in a blend of Husks and Fiber like this and will let you flood more like you are used to. Give that a try, bro!
