    These different size one gallon pots are screwing me up so I need someone with a lil experience to tell me how many gallons is 40 liters of expanded coco ? I’m using Gaia green and want to amend one of the two slabs that come in a canna coco pack which should be 20 liters cause the pack is 40 liters. Thanks

    I get 12 gallons per 50L bag of Canna Coco Coir with a little bit left over.

      Cool thanks. The package says it’s 40 liters expanded and I think 8 dry. What confuses me are my one gallon pots that are all different sizes so I didn’t want to measure with those. Appreciate your time 😎

        Any time! Hats off to @jmystro for the more precise answer. He’s the guy to learn from. One of them, anyway. 😂

    40 L is about 10.5 gallons.

    By the time I add in perlite etc I usually get 2/3 of a 5 gal bucket out of each of the four squares that comes in a 40L pack of canna. Each square also absorbs a lil less than a gallon. I generally will add at the very least some cal mag to that water I use to hydrate. My pots are 0.9gal and one square fills 3-4 of them.
