Grow Mediums A-Train needs info on the coco for future run... help a brother out.

This is simple, but also complicated compared to soil haha. I expect to see much better results in coco for the hassle hahaha. I love doing this as a hobby, I am constantly learning.

I don't do any of that stuff. but that's cause I can get the bagged stuff.
I have used the brick stuff before. If I were doing it again I would follow directions on brick or rehydryate as suggested, by the others. I add cal to every rez so I don't precharge.

So if I have a tote with a lid in it I can go ahead and break down the brick and leave it in the tote until needed.

Then I mix in perlite and load buckets.

Then flush until clear

Then precharge with voodoo and cal mag

Then plant germ ed seed and water as needed

The coco I picked up said it's "aged, pH balanced and no need to flush". Do you still do that regardless?

That's what I do. Except I don't use perlite.

I really don't know your answer. But others use loose coco and they do not rinse.

Tganks. I'm going the better safe than sorry. I'm rinsing the botanicare coco as we speak. It was dark runoff for about 20 seconds then I ran hose for 1 min through.

The autopot folks reccomend perlite and hans runs some so I'm thinking I'll go 70/30 coco perlite mix
