Hi I use both GH cocotek and soon to be using botanicare coco bricks (shops don't carry gh anymore). This is what I planned to do to prepare the bales:
Expand in hot water
Rinse with hot water to flush salts
Charge with calmag (how much?)
Integral hydro says use 700 ppm calmag solution to charge. Reading on this board some ppl charge with combo of very mild veg solution (200ppm) and lots of calmag, like 20-30ml per gallon (that's gotta be like 1200 ppm).
I was gonna just follow integral hydro method and do 700ppm. How's that sound? Also his calmag is a self mix, I use bottled calmag I am assuming its similar.
His formula is
Calcium Nitrate********************** 290 g/l
Magnesium Nitrate***************** 280 g/l
Magnesium Sulphate************* 10 g/l
Ferric EDTA*************** ************** 2 g/l
And I used botanicare calmag or similar. What is the point of adding mild veg nutes to the charge? Also, do u flush after charge? Integral hydroponics doesn't mention it but I've read here some do. I don't plan to unless someone explains to me the point of doing so
