i've used "hydro" nutes in soil with no problems. just make sure to compliment what the soil has... as that depletes you'll need some sort of ramp up schedule and start low in concnetration to start. I did this for about a year re-using some FFOF. Obviously by the 2nd use it was mostly devoid of nutes beside what i provided, which was more like a 'soilless' schedule and fertigation practices (10% runoff religiously) Take some notes. Observe and adjust. Do better next time. if you want to use soilless/hydro nutes, just buy a soilless medium next time. Keep it simple. "coco" nutes means "soiless/hydro" nutes. It's a useless classification to call it "coco nutes". There's nothing special about coco coir than any other common sense soilless substrate option. the fluffier, airy stuff tends to outperform things that will physically impede roots, like large clay balls or huge chunky perlite (like #4 and larger.. #2 is best if i recall). if processed properly it neither adds nor leaches anything from your nutes. If it does, that is a bad manufacturer and you should avoid that source in future. unrefined coco is very danagerous for your plants. It'll contain a shitload of Na and often leach Calcium from your feed which will displace other cations like Na and K etc. If processed properly, this stuff will be lost and gained in equal amounts (equilibrium) and will not leach any nutes, nor contain any Na. An 'inert' medium is the result. anyway, soilless/hydro nutes are the way to go if you want faster growth, but if you do keep it simple next time and just get a soilless substrate.

growdiaries.com/grow-questions/63740-should-i-use-canna-a-and-b-in-soil You already asked this question. and I am going to say NO, you do not need other food. The elements in coir feeds tend to be more well rounded as coir in of itsself is mostly void of nutrients so they ensure it has all it needs. Soil is not normally void of nutrients but adding in the small amounts of micros is not going to harm it, ensure you are getting runoff when you feed and it will prevent and salts from accumulating in the soil that could cause to potential lock out. If your soil has some slow release fertilizers in it, then don't feed with CANNA till its been depleted, that's normally aorund 3 weeks after it started growing in it. Transplants are like fertilizing when the soil is fortified. Look at the label on the bag of soil your using as well. somethings are advertised as soil and really they are soil less and just a mix of peat moss perlite and a slow release pellet. In shorts its fine, just get a EC pen and get runoff when feeding. Good Luck!

Hello my friend, you asked the same question yesterday about Canna Coco A+B and I answered already by telling you that contrary to soil, coco coil does not already contain nutrients. That is why growers need to supplement everything themselves. This makes coco nutrients particularly powerful, and if you use them on soil that already contains nutrients, you run the risk of overfeeding your plants.

Canna have 5 lines of nutrients, specifically designed for each usage: Terra, Coco, Aqua, Hydro and Biocanna. And you asked the same question yesterday. The answer remain the same, credit to @m0use: should be okay, but be sure to get enough runoff and monitor the EC. But I think you should use the Canna Terra or Biocanna line (or any other line of soil nutrients) as you should have less surprises.

Probably doable. Keep an eye on your plants, as it might cause some issues. Coco products are designed with neutral pH coco fibers in mind, so you'll need to test and tweak the pH and dosage a bit. While I'd recommend soil fertilizer, in the end, it's a weed, and people have successfully grown using house plant fertilizer—you'll likely survive it. good luck anyways

If u mean canna coco a+b, then it is a problem. It contains more calcium than probably soil needs. Your plant will develop calcium excess if there is too much calcium in the medium. When a plant consumes too much calcium, other crucial elements for plant growth are "locked out." Your plant will have fewer leaves and damaged foliage with red or brown patches. If u got no other option then at least use RO water to lowers calcium in the solution. Otherwise use Canna Terra Vega and Flores, they p good
