Depending on the customer’s demand, the number of drain and dripper holes can be customizable.

If the prefixed size of the growbag is not what the greenhouse needed-I.E already have plot space with conflicting sizes, the amount of coir is not enough, or greenhouses with in-door fields- then the Pre-filled bags are a great choice.

Grow cannabis in coco coir vs soil: which one better?
This question’s answer can be differ, on to another, depending on one’s view of what they are doing with the substrate. But if the plants grown are cannabis, it’s recommended to use coir.
Soil is a beginner friendly choice. They are easy to grow, considered the “authentic” way to grow cannabis, and said to yield better taste. But, not all soil is suited to grow them- it is the slowest method with lower yield and has higher chances for infestation, and when they are either sick or infested, the signs come slow, which usually have already caused damage.
Coco coir, on the other hand, usually means that you have made a purchase for them, are are not only natural, organic, but also free from pests and diseases, come in a state of neutralization that can be fed with nutrient needed for cannabis, while staying relatively easy to monitor and make changes if needed. They are just as easy to plant like soil, while having full control of pH and nutrient components. One thing to note is not all products are innate, some of the coco coir products are buffered with certain nutrients, making the job much easier as it cuts several steps.
Tips on choosing appropriate growing media for cannabis plants
Or to make the heading more clear: “Things you should consider when choosing growing media for your Cannabis”, because there are more than meets the eyes
- What is the purpose of your cultivation? If it’s to learn how to grow the plant on a small scale, it’s recommended to use soil as a learning material, and on the other hand, any other purposes such as commercial use either on field or in greenhouses, should be considering coco coir as an option, fully or partially depends on the condition.
- For those who want to preserve the flavor of the cannabis, you can consider mixing both soil and coir as an option.
- Soil preservation work with coir is also an option, with or without mixing the original soil and coir to fit different purposes of preservation.
- Both of the mentioned substrates are not the only that could harbor cannabis, but are one of the most ecological and economically efficient ones. Consider others if there is need and affordability isn’t a factor anymore.
And that’s all. Good luck, and be persistent, as cannabis isn’t the easiest plant to grow.
