Do I need to buffer Plagron Coco coir?
NonameGrowDude
started grow question 2y ago
I never used this brand before so was wondering if any one has experience with Plagron Cocos Premium. Do I need to buffer it with cal/mag before use or can I use it directly from the bag?

I would. I usually use Canna but also plagron and the plagron did at every transplant cause a mg Def. To be safe I'd say yes

Perchè le mie piante non crescono? Sono germogliare da dieci giorni, ma per ora hanno sviluppato solo 2 foglie e 2 ne stanno spuntando. L'acqua che gli do è dosata in base al loro peso da secche. Il substrato non è molto drenante forse è quello?
