It kind of seemed to me like the coco needed to be precharged and buffered or something with Cal mag. I still rinse my coco and sift it with Ro, add calmag and base nutes to bring the ppm around 500. I am using canna coco bricks now but I still did this with the bagged stuff
after charging the coco I then add ph up/down(typically up) until it is 6.0. I then let it sit in that water until the ph stabilizes which I’m patient for and will sometimes change. After everything’s ready I drain the water and use it
Coco substrate can act as a buffer, storing water and nutrients for the plant. Buffering can work in several ways. There are water buffers, pH buffers, nutrient buffers and the coco buffer. What are the differences? Here you can see one example. Discover the other differences by watching our...

I am new to coco so I’ve been doing this all with no problems, but if it’s not needed I would love to not have to do all that shit!!! I hate going through that process
