0 PsyCLown Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If you buy coco bricks there should not be any trich in there, it is meant to be inert so no food source for the trich anyways. If this is what I think it is for, then rather avoid the coco and go for grains. Trich colonizes very quickly and can spread like wildfire. If you have ever used trich before, you're going to struggle to get rid of it. Products like Explogrow contain trich as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
