If Canna and other coco products are hard to find at a good price, whether local or online with delivery, consider Tupur from Royal Gold, which is coco-based with some added inert 'forest products,' is designed to work just like high grade buffered coco (or better), and at least for me is cheaper than Canna and other quality cocos. See https://royalgoldcoco.com/royal-gold-soils/tupur/. The past few grows with my local hydro shop (HTG Supply) having closed I've switched from Canna Coco to Tupur from Amazon because it's the cheaper than the cocos at regional hydro shops and online sources and includes free delivery. I use it with no pre-buffering out of the bag with added ~20% perlite, sometimes mixing in recycled Canna coco at about 20%. In terms of performance and results, Tupur seems the same as my using Canna coco.

sadly, not listed on amazon.ca, which leaves me in the same position as with Floraflex, delivering to my sister in law's place near Seattle and picking it up when there.

Be aware that much discussion of buffering seems very vague or even off-base, such as mixes up buffering the coco (involving controlled processing/reactions which I presume only the manufacturer can really do well) vs. adjusting the Ca/Mg content (and related pH) of the water held by the coco. Go with pre-buffered coco vs. thinking you can optimally properly buffer it yourself.

I've used the bagged Canna coco (US) for many years, adding 15%-40% perlite, with good results. Canna is pre-buffered, no need to mess with it. I just do a minimal 10%-15% drain-to-waste feeding with 40-50% strength nutes (2-part MegaCrop) in pure/RO water; and hardly ever add cal-mag supplement.

That's what I like about soil - the buffering effect Have experience with MegaCrop -OK stuff ///// Didn't know about canna being pre-buffered -Thanks

Well, not sure about the ace bit, there are others here with a lot more experience than I have, but I will try not to give you bad information.
