I just had a question regarding Coco coir and what is the best brand to use. I've came across a few different kinds and to me they all look the same basically so I want to know what's the best choice. Here's what I got questions on:
CocoTek by General Hydroponics
-CocoTek Premium Coir
-CocoTek PX
-Natural Coconut Coir Block
Botanicals
-ReadyGro Moisture
-ReadyGro Aeration
-CocoGro
Monster Garden
-Coco Connoisseur
Is any of those better than the others? or is it pretty much all the same thing just different brands?
Is it better to go with straight Coco coir or do a mix of 50/50 coco/perlite for better drainage and aeration?
Also I have seen people using 4" Rockwool cubes with coco. Is that a good option or is it better to grow in straight Coco coir? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using rockwool cubes?
And my lastly is I saw a YouTube video for a mix of what they call Hydrosoil. Any thoughts on this? It is a mix of:
1 part Coco
1 part perlite
1 part Ocean Forest
Sprinkle of powdered root inoculate like VAM
Thanks for the advice and thoughts in advance.
