FoxFarm Bush Doctor Coco Loco Potting Mix, 2cu ft - Extends Your Watering Schedule, Triple-Washed to Reduce Salt Content - Perfect for Cultivating Healthy Plants

Was recommended this product by many people in my garden group for seed starting and soil blocking. I have healthy seedlings and this product is wonderful. Zero soil amendments too.

For a potting mix, this is a bit pricey but well worth it. Excellent texture and loft with impressive moisture retention and it has an active myco component which enhances growth, which is readily evident. First time user, and I am a believer. Fox Farms… you got it right.

Hello Everyone,This is kinda long just talks about my grow experience. The only thing worth knowing is the last sentence as it's basically why I wrote this.So to start off I did a lot of research on the type of medium I should use for my grow. I looked at soil, soiless, Hydro and aeropots which aeropot didn't even hit the radar just listing to be nice and not forget anyone. I will say this is a quality product it's like holding silk in your hands. The medium is properly amended. Overall I've had my plants in this soil for about 20 days now and Overall the plants seem to be loving it. However, I am Ph'ing my water to 6.2 and I totally didn't even think that the lime contained in this would drop my ph even lower... I am currently watering my plants until runoff and noticed that my plants were still growing, but one seemed a bit behind the other. This could be the seed/genetics medium water added nutrients or that my runoff was 5.1ph but whatever. Anyways, I did some research spoke to a few people and they advised me to continue with my daily feeding at my 6.2ph as this would be okay as long as I am watering at 6.2. I decided to bump my watering up from 6.2 to 6.6ph a few days later almost 5 days later so day 18 of life I have now been watering at 6.6ph for 2 days. I have now seen my runoff come off at about 5.6ph now and the plants are seeming to grow stronger and faster now even though it's been two days. I did take a few leafs off of this girl as they were blocking the beautiful shoots from below. May or may not end up being a good thing who knows. Though this could be to me removing a few leaves, but I will continue to water the girls at 6.6ph until I flush here in a few days at which points I plan on running 10 gallons of water ph'd at 6.2 through until I get a 6.2ph runoff. Will then apply nutrients and continue onward. I do however, feel as if I had know of the lime this experience would have been a little more eventful in terms of grow heigh etc etc who knows tho. I do think that I was able to catch it pretty soon at about day 13 I noticed it and by day 20 we have brought everything up. ANY WHO THERE IS LIME IN THIS MEDIUM THAT IS ALL YOU NEEDS TO KNOW so just know lime will lower your ph for you.

Excellent for all growing needs

Great potting media. Be aware of the fungus gnats. If you can let the bags sit for 60 days prior to use it will help. I bought several bags and had to use some right away. Gnats in my tent the entire grow. The bags sitting waiting to be used got opened after 3 months of sitting and it is gnat free. I have some pretty big buds coming in with this stuff and I've never grown any plants before. You can get a photo through veg without feeding in cocloco. I lack experience in comparing it to other potting medias.

I have no issues with this potting mix. However, I think it's important to note that this potting mix (along with many other brands) commonly includes slow-releasing fertilizer into the mix. The benefit is that you don't have to add in fertilizers and just use it as is. The downside is that for those who don't know and use their own fertilizer, you could be over-fertilizing your plants - which can negatively affect the appearance of your plant foliage over time.

Excellent. Love it.

Very good for beginners who like to grow fruits with big roots!
