Will this coco based product work as a bulk substrate?
    #27098003 - 12/19/20 03:38 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Thus far, I have been using CVG made with coco coir bricks from the pet store. A 3 pack is $8.99 and the quality is marginal at best.

This coco based cannabis soil is available at the Ace up the street, $11.99 for a big bag.  Do any of you have an opinion on how well this might work as a bulk substrate?

I may just buy it and try it out...I can plant some weed in it this spring...but I'd prefer not to waste the time, space, and spawn on something that isn't going to work.

Thanks for the help.

You probably could but you will have to pasteurize it properly and will be more ball ache than its worth. If the bricks you are using give you results then I would stay with what you know. That bag is not pure coir, its designed to grow plants not mushies. I’d put money on you having a trich fest with that. You want 100% coir if your making cvg substrates. If your not happy with your bricks look else where theres tons of good coir out there.

Thanks. I've already seen enough trich to last me a lifetime. I'll go to the hydro store and see what they have.
