So far so good - More review to come

As title says, so far so good. About my pictures:Pic 1 is just showing the package the product was received in.Pic 2 is showing 5 bricks were received and were individually wrapped in plastic packaging.Pic 3 is just to show I weighed each brick using a this precision nutrition scale.Pic 4 is showing the weight of the heaviest brick.Pic 5 is showing the weight of the lightest brick.The total weight of all bricks combined came out to be 118.8 ounces or 7.425 lbs. So this particular box of Plantonix Coco Coir exceeded the stated weight of 7 pounds by .425 lbs or approximately 6%.The only problem I have with the weight is, and I know this might seem like a non issue for most, is the weight range of the individual bricks. As you can see from the pics, the bricks weigh any where between 26.6 ounces on the high end, to 18.6 ounces on the low end. That's a half pound swing. The reason I am a little critical of this is when it comes time to mix the coco coir and perlite. I normally use a 650 gram brick coco to 4 dry quarts of perlite, easy-peasy, half bag. I guess i don't understand why it's difficult to get to the 650 grams per brick. Seems like you put 650 grams of loose coco coir into the mold and compress it. I know picky, picky, picky. Just like things to be easy.So for those that have a scale just mix approximately 1 dry quart to every 162 grams of coco coir.Another issue i have is the smell of the coco coir itself. I am hopping that after expanding, rinsing and drying the smell goes away. I'll let you know after I finish the above.So, in a nut shell thus far, product did come in individually wrapper packages unlike what others have said, there was 5 packages and not 4 as others have said, and i did receive more than 7 pounds as stated.I will finish this review after I go through the hydration process.

Pros
  • Organic Coco Bliss minimizes the use of synthetic fertilizers
Cons
  • May require additional bulk additives for optimal plant growth
