I like everest hes a cool smart ass dude. Did your seedlings look like they had burnt tips? How often did you feed the seedlings?If that's so , I'm sure that's the problem because ive had this tote sitting out back getting rained on for a long time, long time! I was watching Everest's YouTube video about coco runoff EC and decided to ck mine and it was awful straight out if the bag, so I threw my new and used in that tote thinking I was doing the right thing. I guess I made things worse.
Yes, you cant use plain water BUT I do so only in the first couple days before I even present the coco with nutrients. Whenever you flush, dont use only water because it causes osmotic stress in the root zone. You need about a weak (0.5EC) solution to flush and thats only if you have nutrient burn meaning theres a salt buildup in the coco. If you decide to multifeed later on try not to go above 1.2.
