I have made the switch and have been playing with coco for a bit now, and have some questions on how you would properly prepare a fresh brick of coco.
I have flushed it with Ph'ed water until I could get the EC as low as possible on the run off, tried a heavy dose of Cal Mag and Liquid Karma followed by a flush. And a few other wacky things on a few bricks.
However, I have had mixed results in the early stages. When some of my clones and seedlings where placed in Coco pots to veg they experienced significant trauma and stress. This resulted in deformed and twisted leaves, crazy self topping and braching out, yellowing and all around not goodness of plants.
Then all the sudden the become super strong and healthy, take off and flourish. Any Ideas on what I am doing wrong here? I am sure it has something to do with how I am preparing the coco. As I have another large amount of Coco on the way I want to hear opinions on how to stop this.
