No offence mate but id never use that cheapo shit, you have to rinse the stuff before you use, there no micro life so more prone to mold its not buffed well so ph can swing like fuck, an some contain nasty creepy crawls, an you need to pre-load with a bit of nutes.

I use the canna coco pro tenner for a 50L bag, everythings done for ya, the stuff is shit hot, you dont even have water when you use 1st time cos it comes pre soaked!

I can't comment on the Canna (I know the one you mean though) but I've only used regular pressed bricks (can't be lugging sacks about trying to be covert) from different brands and I haven't come across one yet that has been buffered right or has microlife (which I don't need anyway as I use raw fert salts), it's usually just plain sterile coco same as the stuff I got from E-bay. I understand you get what you pay for but for the 200 litres I need I would have to spend £40-£60 (my regular grow shop sells the Canna Pro for £15 and he's the cheapest in Yorkshire on medium), rather than short of £20 delivered and just have to chuck it all in a big Flexitub of PH'd water the day before,no need to nute until the next water anyway.
If you remember that Vodka bottle bud of Skunk,they were done with cheap bricks. Each to their own but i'm not in the habit of spending more than I need to on marketing and ease. ;)

Mate best way for seeds in coco ive found is, but the seed in a cup of water cover, check next day if taps out quite abit an seed has sunk put it in a root riot cube tap up about 1/4 inch in put it in prop, usaully cracked the surface in 1-2 days then once youve got some nice roots pokin out the bottom stick it in ya coco.

an yeh i said tap up!!!

so in essence get a glass ov water,
fill it halfway
get a lid
grab my seeds back out the coco
just drop then in the water
then place in the airing cupboard
then
siv all the old loose roots out me coco
coz the tap roots are only a few mm after the tissue method for 3 days id did dry outonce tho when the lid came of but wasent for long and the roots white?
so is that a plan?

I left my seeds in bog roll between 2 plates for 5 days. When I got them the tap roots were bigger than the root riot cubes. I just snapped all the roots in half. Turned out fine.(AK48 grow) All this bullshit. Its fucking easy and if you can't do it, don't do it

If your really want to mate you could put it back in the tissue to keep it moist while you sort the coco out, ant you got any fresh stuff left?? the stuff is cannazym its from canna, its breaks down dead roots mate an turns them to food for the micro life,
my mothers wont be ready for at least aweek for cuts mate, there still small check my update out tomoz you'l see um.
