There's no need to keep it secret, doc. Best believe I'm prepared for anythin'. Last time a dude tried playin' around on some robbin' ish, he ended up in ER.
You are going to live a very short life im sorry but its true.

Go ask people in mexico how prepared they where when people ran into they house swat team style and execute them ater they rob them how prepared they where. And my guess is they had a gun fight that would make Oakland look like a daycare because 20 gangbangers ran in ran a train on they kids and killed them after they took $4000 american.

And if I hear right those same mexicans are out of a job in mexico because its decriminalized there. And considering you live in southern cali they could walk to your place threw the montains and be back in mexico after your dead in 12 hours tops walking.

My guess is mexican cartel will kill you for foot ground in southern cali considering they cant have foot hold in mexico anymore your next buddy.

Coco.........

Nobody is ever to good to be turned around. We where not waisting our time we where hopefully saving his life for what its worth.

Coco is cool but life is greater I dought this guy is cool enough to take coco's place in this thread anyways.

Helping people is what this forums for weather it be not being killed over this hobby or using coco as your medium its all good discussion dont be so nit picky.

And dont call people pricks because you dont like them thats another way to get killed in this world by putting your self in confrontation with someone because you like to call people names. And not only that your break forum rules I just dont understand how half the people on this forum call people names like its a normal way of life its rather disturbing.

this is a sticky thread and I hate to see it go off topic, that's all. I don't care for anyone who thinks it's cool to put someone in A&E or ER....whatever. It's not cool. He needs help, yes, I agree, but this is not the place for it. This thread should stay about coco!

This is a new brand I am going to try....Galuku....

It comes recommended from the hydro shop, compared to canna. Thought I'd give it a go. Looks and feels nice and the 50L bag is a lot lighter than the canna bag, so it's a bit more airy.

they probably just get a better mark up on this stuff, so they're trying to push it more.......LOL.......I'm such a sucker! I don't know if it will be any better than canna, but it sure looks and feels just as good, and I was sold on the weight of the bag compared to canna, but the same volume. I have some canna stuff left as well though, so I'll be running with both and can make my own mind up. You know where it's at! LOL

Has anyone tried hydrofarm brand coco? I get the stuff for like $7 a bale is why I ask im cloning in it now seems to be working. I bought cana coco but to be honest if this hydrofarm stuff works imma feel ripped............

cana I transplanted in is doing fine but I just wanted to know if the hydrofarm stuff is just as good because its like half the price and it didnt seem to bad when I flushed it seemed like after I dumped a few gallons of water threw it it cleaned up pretty easy.

Nobody used the cheap hydrofarm coco?

I think you said it mate.....you had to dump a few gallons through the hydro farm stuff and rinse it. You don't need to do that with the canna so I guess that's what your paying the extra for. But if you don't mind doing that rinsing and your plants grow well in it, then might as well save a few quid, eh?

But hopefully someone who has actually grown with the hydro farm stuff can help you more though.

coco has all come from the same source, just different regions and countries....it's all in the preparation as I understand it and I think we can trust companies like canna and biobizz. Other unprepared stuff I'm sure is totally fine, if you are willing to do that preparation yourself, rinsing excess salts and buffering etc. Can't be arsed myslef. The first post in the thread has a lot of info about the different types of coco, but I've only come across the fine stuff like canna, for example.

lol.....same here man. canna all the way, or galuku maybe, but that's prepared as well. I might try the biobizz stuff one day too. I used to use their nutes in soil.

yeah i had great results with the biobizz line in soil too all natural n all that jazz. no reason to think their coco wont be as good . unless its like the pizza places that do kebabs burgers and fish n chips. they always do one of the few things well and the rest are just tacked on...

reckon you can trust biobizz man. Not like the kebab shop....LOL.

I might even try their feed again in coco one day too, try a more organic approach using their grow, bloom and trace nutes, plus the Bioheaven is on their feeding shcedule for coco.....I never used this one in soil

i tried it for my soil and to be honest didn't notice a difference at all but then i tried cannazyme this time round and couldn't tell a difference either ?!!? not saying it doesn't work, i actually spoke to a dutch guy at their factory he said it did make a difference (he was a personal grower too) i never did a side by side or owt tho

I just put half a big bale in a 10 gallon smart pot and dumped 5 gallons of phed R/O water threw it. It did have a little bit of salt or dust that washed off but after about 3 gallons it looked cleaner then hydroton run off after all 5 gallons it was pretty much clear other then what looked to be bits of coir.

Really wasnt that bad but ive used big smart pots to wash off every medium so its not that bad with the smart pot. Before I found smart pots I was using a big rubbermaid tote with holes drilled in the side and tilted it. Ive always washed of mediums though even when I used perlite so its no hassle really to me its the same rutine.
