Can you feed your new seedlings nutriets in coco?

Rule #1 do not wash coco? Sorry Blue but I gotta strongly disagree. The bricks come packed with salts and who knows what else. Yes if one is purchasing quality buffered coco don't rinse but I've found botanicare and Plant It brands to both be full of salts and junk. I've also found its better to get rid of buffers as they don't play well with all nutrient lines.

I think rinsing and filtering coco really depends on brand and pre washed or brick. I've washed rinsed and filtered blocks. And done nothing with prewashed and fluffed. I prefer the prewashed. Works great with my nutes.

I prefer prewashed unbuffered coco to. I use for bedding for some of my reptiles after testing pet store coco.
I just had a bunch of bad runs that I just realized were do to my shit coco. I changed from botanicare to some other brand and it was back to back fail grows. Sad it took me so long to notice, always wash those bricks! Lol.
Hey Bromeo
Thanks for the input, I'm quoting the canna infopages with all of the tips in the 1st post. They're all related to canna coco professional plus, rather than Coco as a whole (bricks, other brands etc). I'm delighted to say i strongly agree Bro
wash yer bricks! ... But (as you said) not your quality buffered Canna Coco 
Great thread man!
I'm sort of new to indoor and wondered if it was easier or harder than soil? Seems like it more time consuming needing water daily. I know people prefere coco all over but it it worth it in the end? More work and more nutes but if the yield is double I'm down. Also wondering if it's forgiving cause it seems like it's sort of a bitch to get down

Its not more difficult - just different.
Some people go to great lengths with huge nute setups in soil grows.
The biggest difference for me is that you PH to 5.8 rather than 6.3
Other than that it can be a very fogiving medium. I'm about the laziest coco grower there is at AFN and i've given my instructions to a new grower - first timer (with my kit) got the best part of 6 ounces with 2 plants in a 60cm x 60cm cab.
As far a the basic nute line go - if you wanna be lazy and pay a fraction more in order to get good results, i'd go for Canna Coco Pro Plus (medium)
Base Nutes: Canna Coco A&B
Supplements: Canna Rhizotonic & Canna Boost.
That's all you really need - but i was swayed by an awesome grower to use Dutch Pro Explode as well as a bloom booster. It's crushingly expensive - but for me, it's worth it
hope this helps
