High Quality/Low EC Coco Recommendations

Hey,

Looking for some recommendations on a brand or supplier of clean, well rinsed coco coir. I've tried many different brands and none of them are what I would consider clean. I don't want to go through the rinsing process so if there are clean options out there, I want to try them.

Thank you

I have tried the bricks but never the loose bags. The brick I bought was not good. Are the loose bags any better?
I see some packaging variance on the bags:
Coco Professional Plus+
Coco Natural
Coco Natural Plant Medium

Are there differences you're aware of or just package variance?

I've never tried the brick only coco pro and coco pro+ the coco+ has added humic fulvic stuff added apparently but I'd be happy with either one.

When you say clean you mean no background ec right?
If i run water through canna it doesn't trigger my blue lab meter hth

For the sake of clarity.

That's good enough for me then. I also have blue lab equipment. Damn near all Coco I've tried registers around 0.5 EC and I have a hard time starting seedlings in it. Thank you

I'll pick up a Canna 50L bag this week. I also have some FloraFlex Quick Fill arriving so I'll do a side by side and report back with my findings.

I only use coco loco. Its awesome stuff. Ph'd, triple washed, zero dust, plants love it

The bagged canna has always worked great. For me, I do a quick rinse to get the "fines" out and give it some calmag.

Coco loco - confusing for sure. Contains coco, but is actually soil.

This?

What's in it...does not say.

I wrote fox farms about it and its coco, with about 3 weeks worth of the same stuff in the soil. Bat guano and other natural nutrients. My plants absolutely love it. Fox Farms replied and stated it grows like coco but you treat it like soil. It doesn't look like soil at all and it sure doesn't grow like it. But i haven't had 1 yellow leaf or any issues. And am on day 59 of a pretty nice looking grow

But i have to water them every 5-7 days max. But i water them every 3 or 4 days. Ive pushed it to 7 with no issues but like feeding them as much as i can

It's good stuff. Just providing some info. Not bad mouthing the product or those who use it.

Thanks for the info, guys. Much appreciated.
