Ore charging coco

[Patriots781]

Hey guys Im gonna be trying out coco I got a brick that was already prewashed and all that will see what ppms are but I'm trying floraflex this run so when I mix the water to drop the brick in what should my ppms be for the seedling I'm gonna drop in coco? Should I start off with quarter strength?

I set my coco for seedlings at 0.4 EC.

Hydrate your brick coco with a mild bloom solution.

Why bloom soluto

Why bloom soluto

The high phosphorous content promotes root growth.
Besides, I only use bloom nutes from start to finish........no grow.

For as long as I’ve been researching for my own grow, I find it funny when people get surprised by what you use to grow. Proof is in the pudding, you grow some killer looking flowers man.

i've used coco coir for ten years. the brand i use says its precharged, but i still add .5 ec calmag to it when rehydrating, if i don't, i get deficiencies in early flower

I have an old bag of maxibloom but .4 ec is what around200 ppm? My water comes out of the tap that high so tap 220 ppm now do I just add the .4 ec or 200 ppm and my final will be about 400 ppm is that good?

I don't even own a ppm meter.
Consider 1 tsp. to be full strength.........I start with 1/4 tsp. per gallon and increase as the plants grow.
Last grow, my plants only required 1/3 tsp. throughout the grow.

So it says triple washed and buffered so I made a solution of about 400 ppm at 5.8 my tap is about 220 is this ok for seedlings? I'm using bc nutes recipe for success,u also have a lotus sample pack if you pay shipping they hook it up and I have floraflex b1 and b2 specifically for my dwc I use through out whole grow cleanest ph stable nutrients period all the other ones the iron it n makes it like a reddish coloror orange color that's whyost veg and bloom nutes are either red or pink orange in color
