Feeding Auto Seedlings in Coco Coir

[chamullero420]

First, apologies if this has been covered somewhere - I couldn't find it.

I have some 1 week old Auto Gelato seedlings that I started in 3gal fabric pots with a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix, pre buffered with calcium.

(Next time I think I would go for 1gal pots, but too late obvs.)

At this stage of their life, should I be feeding to 10% runoff each time, or just feeding a little bit around the seedling?

I'm using the Canna Coco A+B at about 0.8 EC.

Thanks!

In 3 gal pots I would just water around the seedlings until they get bigger. No point in watering a bunch of coco without roots in it. And agreed, start in smaller pots next time.

And this won't lead to salt build-up in the coco?

You’re only doing it for a short while. Just until they are bigger and the roots have had time to grow. Maybe a week or two. Then start hitting the whole pot.
