Great site. Trying my first run with Coco Coir. After a 100 YouTube videos and forum post threads, I’m still not sure the feeding required for Coco/Perlite 70/30. Questions:
1). Does Coco have to remain completely soaked as in a hydro set up or is it closer to soil (water as needed)?
2). PPM and PH on run off. I’ve only fed once at 400 PPMs and PPM was 1200! on run off. PH was around 6 on pics 1&2 but close to 4.7 on pics 3&4. Is that from the CC not being rinsed? If so, can I do initial rinse with tap? Did notice pots had caps at bottom and wasn’t getting enough runoff so that may have accounted for low PH on 3&4.
3) Fabric or plastic pots. - just wondering if there is a difference with Coco.
