What nutes? Using RO water, Botanicare coco, Airpots on top feed
I need some help figuring out exactly what nutes I'll need.
Here is what I'm going to run:
RO water
Botanicare brick coco
25% perlite mixed in (not sure which brand yet?)
3.4g air pots
Top feed watering system (not sure how or what system exactly if anyone can suggest that'd be great. I've read that blumats is a really good system but some people also had problems with it)
So what nutes are needed?
I know you normally have to run Cal/Mag+ When using RO, but do any of these coco specific A&B nutes such as Canna coco and H&G coco already have added cal/mag in their coco mix?
I understand that the Cal/mag PLUS by Botanicare has the addiction of iron, so it would be beneficial in using this nute, but if Canna coco A & B has higher levels of cal/mag then adding cal/mag + would cause issues with cation exchange.
So what's the verdict with Canna coco A&B when using it with Botanicare coco and RO water?
I've also read that Botanicare using a bad pesticide in their cal/mag solution, is this true and if so what would be a better brand of cal/mag+ ?
Also, at what point is Epsom salt figured into this equation? If I don't use cal/mag+ or regardless if I do run it or not I must run Epsom?
And I've seen people mention Mykos is great for coco, what is this mad how does it help?
Thanks.
