I was wondering, since I am currently in the same position I have seen many other Coco neophytes in, why not make up a sticky for the forum that has info on how to prep new coco before planting? I saw this question asked alot in the unnoficial coco growers thread before we got the forum. Depending on what brand of Coco people have, it seems that everyones prep routine is a little different. I have Canna bagged coco, perlite and hydroton, which I will mix in a 2 parts coco to 1 part perlite, .5 parts hydroton ratio, with hydroton lining the bottom of my pots. At this point though I am unsure of what kind of soultion to prep my starting mix with for planting seeds. Here are the questions I am looking for answers to:
-How wet does my initial mix need to be, slightly moist or wet until the point of run off? Somewhere in the middle?
-What kind of initial solution should I prep with? I am using the Canna Coco lineup. Just Rhizo? Add some Cannazym? Small amount of A + B?
I think a sticky for prep info could also cover different things like, prep'ing for clone planting, prep'ing for transplants, getting slabs ready for use, and how to prep old coco for re-use. This is just a thought, but I figured it could really help some people out as the issue I seem to see pop up most frequently with Coco is poor health in younger plants. I'm going to be germing and planting about 40 or so seeds this week to select 10-15 finishers from and I can't wait to give the coco a go! Please let me know what you think, thanks
