Grow Mediums Questions about nutes

[spliffy82]

Hi jayar, spliffy82! Nice to meet you and read about ur coco queries.

I myself am reusing coco coir from my last grow, but before I was willing to try any beans in it I thoroughly flushed it with ph5.8 water and flushed about 60litres through each of the 7x 20lt pots.
Iv read that flushing about 3x the volume of ur containers with adjusted water is good or until ur getting an ec of 0.5 run off.
This is what I did and touchin wood, everythings looking sssshhhwwweeeeeeeet.
About the cal/mg issues, I had the problem with the last run of Barneys p chunk, I now believe that this was because the new, inert, bagged coco absorbs the calcium and magnesium thus depriving the plants from utilising it theirselves!!! However 2nd time round the cocos cell stores are saturated already from last time so hopefully, this time everything has been buffered. It killed me on my last grow of the P-Chunk, well that issue combined with heat stress from a hot summer didnt bode at all well in terms of yield and flavour of the bud, for pchunk it was shockingly disappointing, GUTTED !
I am not making any stupid amateurish mistakes on my new development, Dutch Passions, amazing, THINK DIERENT !
Anyway jayar, I hope any of this helps u in any way in achieving ur medical high grade bouquet !

I forgot to mention the DWC, LSD, detailed description in new growers forum.
And the two meters, ph/temp meter and electrical conductivity/ec meter. These are as important as light, feeds, co2 etc and without these ul struggle to get optimal results.

Spliffy nice to meet u too bud, yeah ive been reusing the coco now im on my third round, which i completely f'ed up so restarting. The trick to keeping the coco clean for the next seedlings is flushing with cannazym for a few weeks. By flushing i mean just feeding regularly.. i only water till a little bit of runoff and i think it's fine as long as you keep adding enzymes to eat the dead roots from the previous grows. After harvesting and removing the roots, i keep watering until runoff at ph 5.8 and Ec 0.8 for a few days while the next seeds germ. Never had problems with burning seedlings, but i remember being scared as fuck the first time lol they did alright tho.

Like the setup bro start up a journal here in the coco section we need some more CoCoNuTs on here!!! Nice scrog too just built one myself ive never used one before!!
