NEWS Canadian Supplies and Reviews

trying to bring costs down but I did buy a shaker of nemaknights nematodes for my closet grow for about 25$. I've got the good intentions of treating all around my house with nematodes in the spring for gnats , mites, fleas and grubs. together we'll build an impenetrable fortress

Hey fellow Canuks, figured we needed a thread to discuss our options in Canada for supplies considering they seem to be quite a bit different than those south of the border. I'll start it off with some coco I recently bought from home hardware.

https://www.homehardware.ca/en/5kg-beyond-peat-coir-coconut-fibre-soil-supplement/p/5053990

I soaked it in a meagacrop and cal/mag solution and popped 4 beans last weekend. It took twice as much water as the instructions said and within 3 days i had a few weeds pop. They looked like clover. Thinking a rinse might have been a good idea but we shall see. Anyone else have experience with this cheapo coco?

I"m definitely rinsing compressed coco, and btw I noticed home hardware has expanded coir too if you're not near a grow shop like myself, but you have to order it in store shipped to the store. maybe this will help. and while I'm at it Indoorgrower .ca has expanded coco and ship free at $99. cheers

Bought 2 bags of the expanded cour not long ago. Had them delivered to the atore and picked them up. The coir was fairly chunky with pieces of coconuts in it. Apparently its charged with cal mag and has wirked great for me tbh.
 
as always browsing for new leads and came across TreeOfLife a Canadian online outlet. Haven't ordered anything yet though they have some interesting products. For me one is the HerbsNow dryer which looks interesting. the other is U-Cann cannabis specific dry organic amendments by Gaia Green. It costs twice the all purpose 4-4-4 and has different application rates. anyone have an experience with either of these products?
 
Growlights.ca appears to be carrying the quantum boards just over direct cost and miles below HLG. I bought a tent off them and it was average but it worked. Thought I'd pass this along. https://www.growlights.ca/480-watt-fb288-lm301h-3000k-660nm-uv-ir-led-fusion-board-light.html also I use a Meijui and and HLG and they're both working great. edit* found another online shop carrying Samsung chip lights ecofarm.ca I don't have any experience with this shop just passing it along

Good worm castings can be hard to find in Canada, most of the brands sell worm compost which is just cattle manure with a little worm castings thrown in..

Here are some brands of worm castings I have used and personally vouch for ( not that my personal opinion matters to everyone.. ) these brands can be expensive but they are pure coffee grounds looking castings. No fillers..

Gaia green
Nurturing nature
Gro4

Always can start your own worm farm. May be your best bet. Get that delicious worm tea and castings from it.... added addition if you fish ;)

Also, I recommend IndoorGrowingCanada.com they are located in QC and carry lots of good products and they price match.

I like supporting both Canadian and cannabis related companies :)

I an currently using a super soil made in Ont for a grow I am doing now as well. Its called Stepwell Soil. :)

grub grenades are from a canadian company, based on the west coast and can be found on amazon. great organic solution to gnats. I used to have gnat issues after introducing fresh castings. I dumped a grub grenade amongst my pots and in my soil bins and have not seen a gnat in a very long time.
