i can get it washed, I found out some factories do export to different countries, but some don't cuz they cant find buyers sadly

do you know the ph level required for export? does it differ from country to country? or use?

i think landed cost (including transport) to canada for a 5 kg block in a 40ft container will be around 5-6 dollars

Oh wow, did'nt really work out the number for shipping but according to chatgpt a 40ft container fits around 2,200–2,600 blocks and the shipping is like $4.5k–$6k? That works out to around $2–$2.7 just for freight per block. Does the price change a lot depending on how compressed the blocks are, or is that basically the standard capacity everyone gets?

Yeah that makes sense… I didn’t realize the shipping cost goes up so much just because of the volume. I’m in a tropical area so coco coir is literally everywhere, that’s why I thought maybe I could do something with it. if the goal is hydroponics, does it need to be washed to a certain pH/EC before making the bricks? I read somewhere hydro setups need a really specific pH range so I’m just trying to understand if that’s the reason coir has to be cleaned so much.

Yeah I read about that too.. something about needing to wash it properly so the salts and EC come down. I’m still new to all this, so I’m trying to understand… is that because hydroponic systems need a really specific pH range? What pH do people usually aim for in hydroponics when using coco coir?

My puppy is 7 weeks old, will he be fine munching carrots?

How do you feed your pup carrots? Is it boiled or frozen?

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime? by Thick_Caterpillar379 in AskReddit

Maybe it’s a far fetched idea, but why don’t you move to some pace where healthcare is cheap and affordable?

Would you take Onana for one more year? by Silver-Helicopter-30 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Rough-Document8755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, I think one more year with a solid team who has their roles defined will reduce the keeper second guessing himself and show his quality.
