Plagron coco, anyone used there coco??

[Harry Gypsna]

Hi there....My next grow is going to be in coco, i decided to give it a whirl..
I have found somewhere to buy plagron coco 1 metre slabs, they are half the price of canna slabs, and even cheaper than rockwool slabs..... Has anybody used plagrons coco, and if so whats it like?? I know some cocos are not really all that good coz they have a high salt content in them...how are these? They(plagron) do say they have trichoderma in them like the canna..... So is plagron coco a good quality coco media? The extreme cheapness makes me wonder about it...

yes, it´s a good brand of coco, im using it right now, my main reason to buy it was the price, its like 11 euros a 50 l bag, and the cana coco is way expensive, and so far i cant se a diference, plagron is like the bio bizz, i think that any of this brands delivers good coco coir, just choose the cheapeast one!!

Ok thanks i score, if i decide to go with slabs then ill use them, if i use pots then im gonna get vita link bagged coco because im going to use the vita link coco nutes no matter what coco i use--Ive had good results with the regular general purpose vita link hydro/soil nutes(recently renamed vita link max) in both soil and hydro over the past 3 years so I trust their coco nute((was called vita link coco-now renamed vita link coir)) will be as just good.
I was just really surprised at the price of the plagron slabs.... ve not seen them anywhere else and canna one from what ive seen range from 4-7 pounds depending on where you get em.
Thanks

Harry,,,,,,I've used B'cuzz, Canna and Plagron coco...and of the 3 i found the Plagron coco had the least salt content of them all. (Canna was highest believe it or not. )
I'm surprised the plagron blocks are so cheap because the bagged stuff is the same price as the others.(uk)

MmMm Plagron =)

MmMm Plagron =)

Plagron is delectable stuff! I havent personally used the medium, but our belvoed Growdoc uses Plagron in his soil bed mixes. . . and if you have seen his ladies, you know it can produce some blossoming gals!


Enjoy your seach!

I would think the plagron growdoc uses is their soils or feeds, not the coco- he uses soil beds doesnt he??
Anyway ill definately get these plagron 1 metre slabs then if i do go with slabs...although im gravitating more towards pots at the moment to be able to even out the canopy-this rockwool slab grow was awkward when a plant needed moving the whole row needed moving-PITA.
The place where i saw the plagron slabs has bcuzz ones even cheaper..... they dont even have canna

the b´cuzz line is also good, the coco and the nutrients, its from atami, and they have devoloped alot of their stuff whith coco in mind, and they are very cheap, my enzymes from atami cost me 11 euros a liter bottle, i don´t now the price from cannazyme but i bet its way more expensive!!

 

[truecannabliss]

I use Canna's coco and their A+B food, plus Rizotonic & pk13-14....then from B'cuzz i use the Coco booster and the Coco bloom stimulator.....i keep the ph around 5.7 and hand water daily.
Let me know if there is anything else ya wanna know.
Peace

Will do, cheers mate... the plan is cheese(Im craving it lol)...not long vegged 12 plants on 4 slabs or 12 pots, space is roughly 1.3 sqm still not set on pots or slabs yet.....

 

[Kenny Lingus]

You could do 20 plants in 5 slabs there man!!! Need no more than a week veg, unless it's a slow rooter/grower strain.

I'm also interested in them plagron slabs, as theyr at 4pounds vs canna's at 6,50. Also seem to be a bit more coco in them and looks wider and will fill libra trays completely.

Tell us how they are, will you??? (I won't be able to get into them in another 3-4weeks.)

A straight out of the bag test of Plagron coco using a freshly calibrated EC meter (calibrated to 1.413 EC)

With demineralized water (0 EC) the reading was 0.194 EC.
Tap water: 0.295 EC.

(Old topic, I know.)

Their light mix tested at ~0.8 EC
