I've never squeezed my coco b4.. I actually pack it in the cup or pot pretty tight so when it settles & packs itself in my pots won't b 1/2 full.. But I do squeeze the shit out of the root riot b4 I add the Lil seedling..I know you know how to grow but I have a little trick that I use on seedlings. Squeeze your coco and root riot or whatever you use by hand to field capacity, then just plant your beans. If you don't know what field capacity is, it's where you squeeze your substrate by hand and only a few drops of water come out. Then just mist the tops with kelp water as they dry but don't let them dry out. It's 115 degrees where I live at times and I had to mist my seedlings sometimes 3 times a day. The heatwaves last for weeks, I'm sure Evoke knows what I'm talking about. If you do it like that the coco will not compact or ever become water logged. I use coco with perlite and it's still too compacted if not squeezed to field capacity. Works flawlessly! Sometimes people use the paper towel method and transfer the fungus to their medium. The kelp also aids in keeping damping off at bay. RIP baby Face!
"I have also found that the fungus-retarding property of seaweed suppresses damping-off disease. This first application of liquid seaweed, together with periodic watering of the growing seedlings with a seaweed dilution, assures the seedlings access to all the micronutrients they require, as well as to plant growth regulators. As an experiment, I grew two groups of seedlings, half of them treated with seaweed, half without. The seaweed-treated seedlings grew significantly more rapidly, were more robust, and had better root development. My observations have been verified by formal research at Clemson University in South Carolina."
Yeah and that goes both ways, just cause your shit ain't purple or so green it's black doesn't mean you're not drowning em unnessessarily in calmg.Just because your leaves are green does not mean you don't have a magnesium deficiency.
Yeah Goo's a dam good grower if ya couldnt tell by all his threads fools be jocking, lol some people!!!I know you know how to grow but I have a little trick that I use on seedlings.

How much Mg is enough for an OG? What kind of range do you guys target? Botanicare CalMag is 5:1 Ca-to-Mg whereas GO CalMg is 3:1, so 5ml/gal of the Botanicare will give about 200ppm in ro (total Ca & Mg), but how much of that is Mg?
I popped 6 & a few days later I popped 6 more & 1 diedDamn that's a lot of variety in growth. Looking good!
Is there somewhere online I can pick up some of your gear? I hear great things! Would love to see what all the fuss is about, my man.Whew... I thought maybe I messed up the seeds in Traveling to San Fran or something. Doesn't seem be the case. Either way, extra Face/Off's going out for you
