Canuk grow show Coco method

I haven’t used this in coco. But I’ve used dr earth starter 2-4-2 and then when transplanted the down to earth 4-6-2 and now the dr earth 2-8-7 or something like that. I would say yes it works but I also have worms in the pot to turn those amendments into nutrients. Also less is always more, I see anywhere from once a month or every week or two for top dressings.

I would try it. Please let us know because it gives people who want to use more organic methods without bottles a different option. Most people have a problem fitting 20 gal pots into their home grow tent.

Hey all I’ve tried canucks method and followed to a T. I ran into all sorts of deficiencies from Mg to Ca. His videos are for entertainment purposes and shouldn’t be used as educational as he likes to promote. I feel he is doing more for his plants than simply using dry amendments. His PH range is also questionable.

 

The last time someone posted about Mr Canucks I asked this question, "Can you reuse/recycle the coir soil after a single grow, or do you toss it". I think that is a super important thing to consider, and no one knew the answer last time.
not a hater, just curious

I toss mine out. I would keep if I mixed my own organic soil. Dry amendments and coco coir do not work well together.

 

I actually asked the guy, he told me sometimes he recycles it but lately he's been busy....that was a year ago, safe to say he does not recycle it. Lately his videos have been going into some very unscientific subjects such as ''flushing using organic dry amendments''.....yeah i know..... and also some old and false info about compost teas.
I stopped watching after the flushing one

 

Mr Canucklehead is putting a lot of misinformation out there. He says his videos are for educational purposes but in reality, the only education is learning not what to do in coco. You tube keeps pulling him for good reason.

 

What you kids dont know clearly is that he also brews a tea atleast once in week 1 of flower. Are you all claiming hes lying ?

 

I think most of the doubts come from using coco. It just seems wrong to throw out coco after every grow. Part of the organic vibe is to not fill the landfill for unnecessary reasons. Especially since it has inferior 'cation exchange capacity' compared to peat or leaf mold. Why not peet or leaf mold. People use those with organic dry amendments all the time. For instance, tomato tone and peet mix is nothing revolutionary.
Just my thoughts, and not hating. Just commenting on why it may not be seen as a good fit for organics, not on its inability to grow.
