Uses for coco peat

Hello everyone,

Last night I hydrated some coco bricks for my next transplanting. Just for fun I decided to collect all the runoff coco peat, (that fine dust that comes out of the coco coir when rinsing). Now the fact that this product is expensive to start with I would hate to have to throw this stuff out. I'm wondering if there's something that I can do with this fine powdery cocoa dust?

Myself i was thinking that since it's excellent at water retention it could be a good medium for starting grass seeds out in. Just wondering what you guys all think about this?

Starting cannabis seeds works too. I use Canna Coco and Xlg perlite 50/50. For starting seeds, if I don't use a Jiffy Pellet, I'll fill a 3 oz Dixie Cup with just the Canna Coco, works great.
