Again, dunno the coco nutes but the boys at the shop told me the Canna hydro ones have more buffering built in to make it easier to get the right pH and keep it there while the plant does it's thing with the solution compared to the Ionic ones I've been using. Soil nutes are, I hear, quite different to hydro nutes and do not hold the nutrients in a form that can be used by plants directly.....I think the nutrients in soil feed get converted by the soil before the plant uses them but in hydro the nutrients need to come out the bottle in useable form.
Or something like that....?
The coco nutes are pretty much exactly the same as the hydro ones as far as I know. Maybe a slight difference but when I read the back of the bottles it says it's suitable for all hydro and soil less growing methods so probably just the same thing in different containers lol.
Your totally right about the way nutrients are designed for soil. I wonder if they are of a lower concentration in the soil nutrients too since the soil already contains quite a lot of the basic nutrients.
