As cannabis cultivation evolves, growers are increasingly turning to CoCo (coconut coir) as their growing medium of choice. Known for its versatility, sustainability, and superior control over nutrient and moisture delivery, CoCo provides the perfect balance between soil and hydroponics. But understanding how to optimize this medium requires a deep dive into its unique properties, particularly its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and its ability to support robust, high-yielding cannabis plants.
Pan Fusarium is an aggressive fungal pathogen notorious for its resilience and capacity to destroy cannabis crops. It primarily attacks the plant’s vascular system, leading to symptoms such as stunted growth, wilting, and ultimately, plant death. Fusarium species, particularly Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani, are some of the most common culprits affecting cannabis operations. These fungi can survive in soil for years, persisting in plant debris and organic matter, making them exceptionally difficult to eradicate.
