    Default Any recommended coco nute alternatives?

    Hi all, I'm about to finish my current grow so I'm ofc now thinking about the next.

    Current nutes and medium:
    11 ltr canna coco pro plus and perlite (85%/15%)
    Canna a and b (happy with those so far)
    Rhizotonic - open to suggestions tho no complaints
    Solar green silicone - happy with that
    Canna cal mag - happy with that

    I get through boost fast at 2ml per litre and my grows take ages... tho might be down to cfls in the past). I've ready the boost works alongside or in conjunction with the pk but not convinced that's not just a sales pitch.

    Canna pk 13/14
    Canna boost

    Any changes any of you pro canna growers would suggest? Hope I've supplied enough info. Ask if not or visit my diary... always happy to get visitors

    You already use a good line up why do you want to change out of interest?

    I'm the same as Fieldy, Canna Coco has always worked well for me

    You’ll do fine without the boost and save a fair few quid too. As for base nutes you could change to a separate grow and bloom nute for a more suited npk.

    You could also get hard or soft water specific so they work better with your water but having said that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

    Cheers guys, it was mostly the boost I wondered about as it's fairly expensive and I get through it fast. I've read so many posts and I'm sure I've seen people advising of better options so thought I'd throw the question out there as my boost bottles nearly empty again.

    Why not do a grow without it to see if it even made any difference
