Whats y'alls favorite brand of coco available on Amazon? Since the 'rona knocked out my favorite gardening store I've been reduced to buying pet store coco coir and its pretty meh quality and very pricey. I'm not a huge fan of pH chasing with peat and thats about all I can get around here. I am in the US btw,

US or EU?

I am stateside. I've had very good luck with Cyco Pearl. It's 70/30 coco/perlite and is prebuffered. It does tend to run a little"hot" out of the bag. I've taken to rinsing it with seedling strength nutrient mix, say 300-350ppm, until the runoff is in that range.
 
Canna if ya can get it locally by the bag or order bricks online. They have been around for decades have been and still are one of the best. The price is a bit higher than some other brands but the quality and consistency are unmatched. It is not hot, does not need additional rinsing and is ready to use out of the bag with no additional drainage needed.

good luck!
 
I do not grow in Coco but Roots Organics has a good Rep here.

This is the best I've found by the brick, still gotta wash it though...

Botanicare cocogro is also good stuff :thumbsup: Haven't tried roots yet. If you're already using Coco you can always just wash it and reuse what you have for free.
I never trust the "buffered" claims so I always wash it and buffer myself. You can save $ by just getting cheap Coco and doing the work yourself. The better Coco will basically have less of the small particles so you'll lose less of it during the soaking/washing part
 
Botanicare, Mother Earth, Canna, or Rx Green Technology Coco.
