This is my first real attempt at a coco grow using canna coco mixed with some chunky perlite at the bottom for good drainage. These are 2 strawberry coughs that were planted at the same time. The coco plant is twice the size of soil. I'm thoroughly impressed. When I did my first coco transplant into a 5 gallon hempy the roots were thick, white, and ran through the coco top to bottom. All perlite only grew a few tap roots to the res and then established roots in the 3" res only. I think it seriously inhibits the growth due to a less than robust root system having been developed. More roots makes stronger plants. Coco for the win:. Jack's 3-2-1. Before anyone says something I only just transplanted the SC on the right this afternoon. The soil plant is growing so slowly it's going to be another week or two before she's ready for the big pot and truth be told I can't stomach the idea of using soil. She's going in coco for sure. Soil is just too dam slow.
