I recommend never following the the fertilizer recommendations on the bottle.. Try half strength to start.. Seedlings I give about 1/20 strength to start from first sight of real leaves.. In coco I never feed full strength.
I have grown in coco for twenty years..
I gave up the perlite after two years.. I use pure coco..
I do not buffer my coco with Cali-mag,, but it doesn't hurt to do so..
I use the calmag during the grow feedings..
I keep my coco wet.. I don't let it dry out.. Coco must be wet to work..
I start...
After 23 years of marriage my wife did the same.. My feelings were the same as yours.. That said it took a good long while to get moving again.. I did not think I would ever get over her but it did happen.. I had to rethink my relationship with her and deal with the truth.. Time will heal if you...
Yes I have seen it.. I have been using coco since '05.. I should have made a list of the crap I've found in coco..
I coir seats on the ground and when they scoop it up off the ground some times they get more than coco..
Just keep smiling.. :)
