I prebuffered the coco too - but it was a while ago at this point (2 mos)I'm using 70/30 coco (I added more perlite, so 60/40-ish) as well and after presoaking my fabric pots I noticed they didn't really dry back. And while it feels moist, it's definitely not wet.
Interested to see what others have to say!

Thanks for the response - These are the general rules of thumb I’m following - 4 gal pot - 1 qt 1x per day, ~20%-25% runoff.You might want to search……. How to water Coco for best results.

The soil is pretty damp and compacted 24 hours after feeding (this is a recent change) but this is telling me I should be still watering 1 qt daily. Plant looks good, but don’t want to risk overwatering.
I’ve been having issues with this pot drying back and I’m wondering if it’s because of the salt/algae on the outside?
...
I’ve let it veg this long because I have a second plant running that I started later and I’m trying to get it at least to the point where I can flip it to flower too. That said I’m a little concerned about this guys height when I flip?
I’ll check this out! Thanks!As for pictures not being their true color look up White Balance.
I’m hand watering - it’s a dehydrated brick I rehydrated and rinsed the peat out of andIs your coco pre-made? If so, what brand?
In my research, I've read that larger pots need more perlite in the mix. 4 gal pots need 60/40, and 5 gal or more 50/50 even. I went for a 60/40 by adding more (5 gal pots that look more like 4 gal, but are square). I'm using Mother Earth coco/perlite, btw. Expensive but sexy AF.
20 mins after flooding (ebb and flow system), it is still very moist, but loose and fluffy. In fact, my little ones stalled out I believe (a gut feeling got me off my ass and evaluating) because I fell into the "water it like soil" trap. Oh, and I forgot to lower the pH of the presoak water.
