Just curious, what's the point of an 80/20 coco/soil mix? Why not just go all coco?
Hard to tell in this picture, but the coco looks dry. Need to keep it wet constantly
From what I've seen, potting mix added provides a little extra nutrients for the first week to help out the plant, meanwhile the coco allows aeration and helps prevent nute lockout if I remember correctly.
I tried straight coco and the plants didn't survive a week, so far this recipe is working for me until they go in their buckets
A seed has enough nutrients in it for the first week or two itself. I run canna coco/perlite mix with no issue. Like I said, your problem likely lies in the fact you're letting your coco dry out. That's a big nono.
I check it 3 times a day, when I get up at 7, when I get home at 6, and then one more time before bed. They're running on an inverted schedule, no light from 7am-1pm. When I check I use the rule of "if it's dry an inch down, water." I make sure to do it evenly and with a gentle spray just so it doest just flow straight out the bottom
Quote from you --- "When I check I use the rule of "if it's dry an inch down, water.""
This rule does not apply to coco coir.
Oh damn, i usually water every other day or so I'll keep a better eye on that. There's usually some weight in them though from the last watering
For clarification though, you said salts build up in coco, but I was under the impression the coco prevented that? Did I come across some misinformation?
Alright so if THAT info was wrong, do you advise nutes every watering or, every other, or water, water, nute? Because I've seen every option for that one..
