Someone answer me a few questions who uses Coco?
How often do you water, is it like soil kind of schedule?
Is it hand watering you do?
How often are nutes applied?
Do you need to pre-wash Coco?
Cheers lads.
When the plants are small you can water every 4-5 days if you want. Or you can water every 5 minutes. It doesn't matter how much water you put in, it is impossible to overwater in coco. In flower you need to feed everyday. Coco dries out way faster than soil, and when it gets dry the salt buildup is disgusting and your EC will shoot through the roof, so not good.
I handwater, but you can setup drippers if you want.
You must feed with nutes every watering. If you give it just water, you will destroy the PH buffers and microlife you built up and your plants will hate you.
If you buy the dried brick stuff you need to wash it a good bit as it can be packed with salt. The bagged moist stuff is usually ok to use straight out of the bag, but I rinse a few gallons through it first before I use it just to be sure.
