Yes it will. There's nothing to buffer keeping the solution stable and you don't keep EC constant which is what you strive for in hydro for pH stability.
Have you read the stickys on the forum? Do you need a helping hand bud? You seem lost?
Speak for yourself lol
The guy looked like he has calmag problems from where he didn't flush his medium after buffering it, just trying to help. people like you make me laugh, think they know everything and everyone else's opinion is irrelevant. Go spread your hate somewhere else there's enough of it in the world.
A smart person would take everyone's opinions, cross reference then in the Internet and make a decision for themselves. It's a forum everyone's input is welcome.
That's why you buffer the coco before use and that's what it looks like he's done. They're seedlings not 2ft plants.
"Calmag" is not a problem. It's either or. They're antagonists. I'm just pointing out that you're flushing your medium for no reason and to no gain and you loose your socks? You don't need to buffer coir with "Calmag" with a complete plant food intended for coir.

Coco is hydroponic, you do care about pH and EC of your nutrient solution all the time. You feed daily to runoff, which is being trashed straight after. Thats why they call it drain to waste. You need to work on runoff managment pretty fast and stop treating coco like a “soil”. You have issues and slow growth because of improper treatment, simply as that…
That's one thing I was wondering, how much are you watering daily and how much run off are you getting? I know this is dependent on pot size and root mass
Depends on size of plant, in veg you can get through once a day, they survive every other day if they are smaller. In flower once a day is minimum and you can go up to 6 times a day if you have it automated and plants are big enough. I do not measure volume of runoff since those reccomended 20% might be missleading and cause EC climb high between fertigation. I just feed to keep EC runoff as close to input EC. But it goes hand in hand with cheap fertilizers and runoff managment. If those tho are not figured out it might get expensive and labour intensive. Good luck!
