Hi,

I emailed Canna with a question about using their coco medium along with their coco nutes.

Their recommendation was to use a flood to waste system. This would not be a convenient setup for me and I really need to use a more "typical" recirculating system with reservoir. I don't know where I would continually drain the runoff and it seems as though it would use a lot more nutes (some are going down the drain) and cost more $$.

Has anyone out there used Canna Coco and the associated coco nutes in a grow with better results than just plain rockwool with Canna Aqua nutes in a top feed or ebb and flow system?

If the use of coco does not offer significant advantages such as ease of use or yield, I might just stick with rockwool.

Thx

Ebb and flow I use a botaniacare ready grow. I use a 50/50 mix of canna coco and ready grow. The nutes I use are triflex or super natural. Next time I just plan to use ready grow as I have had good results.

Cocoa is safe and the plants love it more. There is a ton of run off and you can use a ton of water and nutes. Then you have to throw the stuff away. But I got great results and felt the plants were safer from my errors. If it's practical for you I would recomend dialing in the cocoa.
Good Luck

the former is obtained when cocopeans are roasted during the chocolate making process.
Cocopeat is obtained from the husk of the coconut. Check this out
