Hey I am currently in hawaii and will be growing with canna coco outdoors in the mountains..
Plants are currently being vegged indoors. Sour NL x Nevilles haze ..G13 Haze x NYCD.. AUTO AK47 and a few others..

I planned on diggin holes then filling the bottom of the hole with chunky perlite..
Then putting the COCO in bags then placing that in the hole so the perlite is underneath the
drainage holes of the bag.

Will this be enough drainage.. will nutrient water collect below or sink?... my best guess is
that it will sink pretty quick? If not what type of problem can i run into...

The soil here is clayish with alot of nutirents in it. Pretty loose stuff
easy to dig into. Growing in the COCO with the canna nutes, i am
thinking will give way better yield and grow way faster, just going to
have to do alot of watering.

it would definitely be better to get pre-washed coir.

I wouldn't use the compressed bricks i use, without flushing the shit out of them.

Cocogro is a superior coir fiber because it is aged a minimum of 18 months and has finished its decomposition stage. In addition, Cocogro passes through at least three monsoon seasons, which naturally washes away harmful salts out of the final product. Most other coir fibers are only 4 to 5 months old and have excessive potassium and salts and thus have to be chemically treated.

I use the first one you posted....and I have never flushed any coco before I used it and it always works wonders! Like hydro man I swear! PEACE
