Soak and Buffer Coco Coir
Переглядів 56 тис.4 роки тому

He said safety glasses 🤦♂️
What brand coco coir are you using. I recently ordered the gro med coco coir with added nutrients N.P.K. and because it's already rich in nutrients with balanced PH and high CEC but I believe it still needs to be buffered with calcium and magnesium.
Bleach and peroxide?
Or.. not and. You choose
Stop 🛑 using bleach use vinegar hello 👋 duh 🙄 vinegar is way better for cleaning
U dont comment bsck so this seems pointless but hopefully someone will come to my aid..your explaining is not very good 😂 so am i sdding two 5 gallon containers of calmag water to clean the coco mix or doing the one 5 gallon container in too halfs...as you said now get your 2 nd 5 gallon container and poor over untill drains.butnu didnt show in the video you making two 5 gallon containers...this is the worse video i think ive eva seen and the fsct you dont reply to anyone makes u rude af
5 minutes 4 second video. "In under 5 minutes" in description is a lie!
why don't you just decompress the block with the buffering solution? it would be hitting 2 birds with 1 stone
You need to flush out the free salt first. Then buffer to remove the sodium that is chemically bonded.
Subscribed. Thanks for the great video, I love that it is concise.
Too much water. Not needed
They sell salt free Coco Coir
Couldn't you sanitize the buckets in the sun?
Mr canucks grow recipe doesn't call for buffering. Can you please explain how he doesn't and get's amazing results?
If his method works so well then why are you even watching this video? 🤔
Good CCC comes pre-washed and pre-buffered. The best comes pre-charged with NPK nutrients as well.
Thank you so very much. I overwatered my coco coir. And your video has helped me so much!!

Looking forward to collaborate with you. UA-cam channel link : ua-cam.com/channels/-ZmjOKRTP1C9kV-y4qwsYQ.html
Honestly 2000 ppms of epsom salt ph to 5.8 let it soak for 24 hrs rinse to 400 with ro then it’s ready
Excellent video!! From an experienced coco grower too, I think this is the best buffering video I’ve ever seen
Does the water that got drained out of your plastic tub hurt the soil? I want to figure out where to dispose of the water after buffering, and don't want to damage anything in the garden.Thanks!
Manufacturers often put dehydrating chemicals into coco so they can package it easier. not too good for plants, thats for sure! I dump mine where nothing will grow.
The water you drain after hydrating the brick should be thrown out, as it may contain salt and other contaminants. The spent buffering solution however will be rich in potassium (and some sodium, so be warned), and can be used to fertilize other plants you may have that are fruiting or flowering. One application of this stuff isn't going to do any harm, however continual, repeated use throughout the growing season might cause some sodium toxicity issues.
What is Coco grow A n Coco grow B
Dude, just spray with 90% alcohol to sanitize. That's all you use in mycology and mycelium is far more susceptible to contamination
can you store ther left overs and use for next time or do you throw it out?
You can re-use coco coir for subsequent grows, but it's highly advisable that you include an enzyme (Cannazyme, for example) in your nutrients that breaks down the dead root material. For a first run in new coco, you don't really need the enzyme until/unless the plants become root bound in their pots (like the last 4 weeks maybe, depending). To re-use the same coco, run the enzyme from start to finish.
I don’t need to add nutrients solution if I’m gonna be adding nutrients with every watering
the point is that coir absorbs and steals the nutrients from waterings. we buffer coir to prevent this from happening. the cal mag we are adding here is not used for the plant, it is to prevent the coir from absorbing the nutes in our water..if you don't buffer then you will have extreme deficiencies regardless of how much you try to add through watering.
You're gonna have to add them sooner or later as the Coco will steal them. Easier to add them in the beginning so you don't have to do the problem solving later
Why did I buy coco coir this seems like a pain in the ass for growing cannabis
Right? That didn’t seem easy… what a waste of time and water resources Imo.
You can save yourself all the bother and buy buffered coco such as Canna Coco, for example. It's gtg right out of the bag.
dont take long my man. i did it on my first ever grow. started out terrible but i corrected it. couldnt get ph right
@@johnnymccoy4311 pH to low? What do you do to correct it?
No perlite?
Nice drop 💧 check us out sometime 👍
how did you like cocotek? the product has been around for several years, yet i can find virtually ZERO information or customer feedback about it. it's super frustrating since paying for nutes seriously adds up, but if i could find something that produces even decent results, but saves me money i'd be satisfied.
Ocean Magic sea minerals...one tablespoon per gallon...works great
I've used straight coco coir by just adding water. Works just fine.
That is because you buy it pre-buffered. Only the cheapest CCC comes unwashed and unbuffered. The best kind comes pre-charged with NPK nutrients as well.
Nice video
Hey Mac, What is the diameter of your drainage holes? Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for sharing. I really needed to know what to do with the one I bought.Do I still need to get the mix you put in the water.If you could reply I would appreciate it.
How long does the buffered nutes last for and do u got add any dry nutes?
great , detailed infos ,
I've always use just straight hydroponics cocoa is very messy
Some people recommend buffering the coco much longer. 24 hours.. or 8 hours x2. Double-buffering means you soak them in EC 2.0 cal-mag solution 8 hours. Then rinse away the solution and add a fresh cal-mag for another 8 hours.
So that’s where I fucked up. I soaked it twice and didn’t wash it away
@@romellojames4548 i think that's fine.. check out cocoforcannabis dot com.. they got a bunch of guides on how to buffer coco
@@romellojames4548 someone commented on cocoforcannabis's video that if you don't rinse the coco after buffering it will kill any clones or seedlings you plant in it
Really helpful, thanks Matt
I like your channel!! Keep on uploading. If I was you I would look into using smzeus . c o m! It will help you promote your videos.
Matt, how do you use the cactus and prickly pears
Dawn, thanks for watching. You can place the prickly pear fruits in a container of water and agitate them for a couple of minutes to remove thorns and make them easy to handle - alternatively you can burn of the glochids with a lighter (more effective method just dont cook your fruit). Then peel the skin and it's ready to eat. Not mentioned in the video, the paddles of the prickly pear can similarly be consumed - remove glochids, peel, boil the peeled paddle, and then chop and add to a salad. The Dragonfruit cactus can be easily reproduced simply by cutting at one of the hard narrow joints, allow to callous off, and then placing it sideways in soil. It will quickly set root when in contact with soil and will grow rapidly with plenty of sun, water, and nutrients. These cactus produce delicious fruits of high value and varying color.
Definitely news you can use!
