You may want to take a look at 'Greentree' they're a company out of Ithaca NY.You can buy online if it's not locally available to you.
They have a product called Ultimate Blend I think it was called.Not cheap,but like most things ya get what ya pay for.

Canna bricks. Come in 2 20l bricks in individual bags. Each brick also breaks in half so you can hydrate 10 l of coco at a time if you wanted. Their coco also absorbs water fast and is clean Salt wise. It’s a dry brick so guaranteed you start gnat free. My favorite stuff. More convenient than the 50l bagged stuff from them especially if you’re doing only personal smoke and don’t need to fill 2000 pots. Break a 20l piece in half for 3 small new moms and put the rest away and know that an open bag won’t attract gnats.

I believe the advantages of peat vastly outweigh coco. If you search "peat vs coco" you can read my thoughts along with sources.

That being said, I heard there was a coco shortage due to the pandemic.

So for an online source, i use the coco depot. They are bulk suppliers and way cheap. They supply allot off soil companies and retailers. They are an importer. I get a pallet (200 2.5 cubic feet bricks) for like 700$!!.
They have a half pallet minimum, but they now have a retail business with a different name. Can't remember the name but u can probably find out with a search.

They have any type of coco u could want. I like a mix of the coco "peat", the course fiber, and the chips.

I ended up with a brick of Urban Worm Coco via amazon. I went thru the hydration and soak in calmag thing a couple times. I did this as an experiment for my next grow to see if it helps my soil hold moisture and take water on top without the aggravating pooling on top.



As a side add on I also am going to run 4 GG4 clones in 5 gallon bags with different soils. 2 of the bags will be my mix based on AG's easy recipie with the addition of a bit of coco. One will have way more EWC as us in three SOLO cups of EWC than the other. The other two will be one of coast of maine bar harbor and the 4th and final will be the coast of maine stonington blend. I will feed as usual with the Neptune's Harvest and ACT's. I swear this grow is the best I have done despite my best efforts. I chop in 10 days and using ACT's in a close to AG's mix plus a couple times adding Biomin Calcium and a bit of Epsom on the off days of just water has done wonders. Im in too small a space to really hard quantify things but I think Im getting better. At least as a small grower.
