Hey crimbo heads

 

This is about coco, and possibly plants that were potted up before from small pots

 

I'm thinking of soaking them in buckets and gently freeing the roots from the old coco, as much as is safe anyway

It might seem a bit mad but I have a theory I want to try out

 

I know there may be some shock, and that's fine, but will it all just come away with a long enough soak?

 

Sprink be playin himself.. nobody be readin' this, maaaaaan.

Everyone doin' sum crimbo shit no doubt :)

Nice one beefster :)

 

I can see whay you did that too, whenever I change from one t'other they don't like it

 

I have a feeling that the old coco is hanging onto salts, even weeks after potting up. Mebe not, but feels like a fresh start this way :)
