Coconut chips to add to soil with coconut coir

Has anyone used coconut chips with coco coir as a growing medium

Hi not me but wondering if thats the same as another form of coco. I heard coco coir, coco peat, coco fiber, what is coco chips just another word for coco peat? Any other descriptions or clues on the package? I dunno I’m just curious, trying to clarify…

I think if growing in coco coir then mixing another type of processed coco husk would change the water retention and aeration of the coir-medium, in a bad way

Chips of any sort rarely do well as a grow medium for cannabis, be it soil or coco. Perlite is most commonly added to coco, but I don’t see any benefit from actual chips.

Chips leave space between and can create water channels, most coco is just pith and fibers.
