IME teas in coco are awesome. I throw a little guano, kelp, and mycro in there. Never happened to me, but if they are applied too frequently you can get a bit of a lockout from the excess of trace that is in the tea (not based on own personal experience, have heard it from legitimate source though and he is always in a soiless coco peat mix so it could be possible that it would not happen in straight coco)
compost tea and coco ?

I use condensate water which measures 0ppm. I use Canna A & B. Those have the correct amounts of Magnesium and Calcium already in it. If you go adding calmag with A and B it will accumulate into problems. I have learned this through experience in years.
I even reuse coco. it doesn't fit with what you read but I have extremely healthy plants and all signs of a little calcium or magnesium deficiencies i used to get have gone away.
I would not amend your coco with anything. coco is not soil. it has a buffer of potassium and calcium. anyways, just my two cents bro.

I think you guys both had good points in this thread, but I am going to have to agree with Coconutz especially IF people are using dolimitic lime to aid in ph buffering.... dolimitic lime has a solubility that only is efficient when soil has a 35-45% moisture saturation, otherwise the lime is inactive as a buffer and as a nutrient supplement, not to mention tons of other great benefits and information which can be found in this overlooked thread here...

so DO NOT let your coco dry out guys ESP if you are using dolimitic lime.
