Was having trouble because of ill prepared coco coir block.
soak block ph 5-6, run water through it, test ppm. make sure you're not putting seedlings in 2.0 ec coco
then buffer it with a little cal-mag/very light solution.
I would just water my seedlings next time till cotyledons turned yellow.
been using 6/9 and everything is perfect - no need for any more help - thanks to everyone who contributed
The most intimidating part of growing in coco coir for the first time is the fear of failure and uncertainty.
If your brick/coco/bag whatever is properly prepared then water seedlings till cotyledons turn yellow and start feeding half strength 6/9 or 1/4 strength - then full strength once 10" tall or so...
Oh, and you CAN water with plain water in coco, it won't "mess" up the "cec" - it's not recommended but if they look overfed you can plain water and the plant will use the excess.
If anyone needs help with coco just post a question here and I'll do my best to answer you
This journal is over, have some weeks to go, smooth sailing though, the girls are beautiful, 6/9 is amazing. I thought I would never use a GH product....
