Just some stuff he says in the movie he's always talking about some new information or variables. Have to have seen the great lebowski I guess to get the humor in it.

Sorry if I'm hijacking but the cheapest I found is 5 bricks on Amazon which is like 3 and 1/2 pounds for like 15 bucks that sound about right?

Same here I have a big bin I just keep adding coco, perlite, verm, whatever else I can find lol. And I have the same bin next to it filled w water . Very convenient pH adjust and I'm good for a week or so

my experiance with cheap coco is its too high in Acid content and will cause problems... we have coco Bricks here in Oz, but they are shitty .. We get 50lts Hydro coco here for $20 bux a bag

Why waste perfectly good medium? Coco is reusable through 3-4 runs before it breaks down into too small of a particle size. Buying it every run seems quite wasteful if you lack aeration toss in a couple handfuls of perlite

Those solid coco bricks are terrible in my experience. The acid content is too high.
This is what I use... it’s clean

Typically I use half promix, other half Coco and perlite vermiculite. Just trying to figure out the best source for my coco. Just switched to a coarser perlite mix and am loving it
