Yeah I used to use exclusively bricks, the cheaper the better.
Not anymore, I've had some serious hit and miss episodes.
Best quality coco I've found are the 'IKON Coco Potz'.
A 10L brick that comes wrapped in it's own poly pot.
At £3+ a pop though they ain't cheap.
Mind I've been reusing my coco for a couple of years and just buy Canna Pro for top up, not so keen on Canna coco though.
I've got about 100L of coco stockpiled in the loft, lol.

i've used the canna and atami only, never tried a brick as i like the ease of out the bag into the pot lol.
just started all new stuff for these two grows as i too had been using the same gear for over a year lol. it's great for stealth though, i went to my mates about 30 last year and only walked in once carrying anything and came out with a bin bag full of green 4 times.
bricks are also good for stealth as walking in with 10 50l bags is a bit sus

Sorry i asked that question then completely forgot lol ....
Nothing to do with the bricks mate , there sound used them quite a few times
I was wondering who uses coco cus when i feed with coco ive always let 10% run off ..... as it supposedly stops the salt building up in bottom. .. anyone else do this and is there even any point to it? Wasting nutes over a year can be costly so thought I'd ask lol

divvent worry robbie , i ran 150l+ beds and only ever got run off a couple of times, the same coco was used on 5 flower cycles without ever being taken out the tub.
in small containers i always get run off but that is cause i only water the plants twice a week so i give em a good saoking

Have I shown you guys my green crack from two runs ago?
Well put your face in the path of my hand and I'll smack you right upside the head with this and you will know what it is to smoke the mighty green crack and how it slaps you in the face on the first hit, she is a mean bitch for sure, loose trim job on purpose I mean look at that frost,

I just got done with a grow of 9 chem dog 4's(chem dog 4 is a mighty yielder pop can size nugs) my first time growing the chem and 3 GreenCrack ladies:
They are in a slow dry, non trimmed or cured, then into jars with boveda packs for the cure. the first 3 pics are the chem dog 4 (hoping for 4-5oz) the last is the green crack (hoping for 1.5oz).

Yeah just once, the last time I topped up was with that as my local had one bale left in as he wasn't stocking it anymore so I got it cheaper than retail.
It's ok, I'd put it above Canna Pro but still not as good as the IKON stuff.
The quality of the coco is actually better than both IKON and Canna but the shred/particle size is better in the IKON imo.
IKON is like tiny cubes, Canna is like fish food flakes and Fertile Fibre is sort of fluffy (hard to describe).

They are buds ghb just not a tight trim. No I never sell but then again I live in denver so getting cuts is easy and I have a good job as a computer network engineer.
you want to see a tight trim job, check out my mountain temple, sugar warp, and cherry pie (somehow a strand of my wifes blonde hair almost always ends up in a pick and I don't know how cause she doesn't smoke or touch my stuff):
