Coco coir Brick and FF calmag 😁

[JAB]

I have both of these available.. can I buffer with the calmag and if so what's the best way to do it? I want to do it this way because it's free as I already have both and I want to see what growing in coco is like rather soil with a small batch before I go buying buffered coco and all that. I have perlite as well just need to fill a 5 gallon fabric pot is all I'm doing.

I grow in coco. I never trust the coco. What I do is rehydrate and run some water through it and check the ppms. If it's over 350 I flush it until it gets below. Soak for 24 hours in 350ppm 5.5ph calmag. Then for 24 hours in 350ppm ferts 5.8ph. Then let warm up and dry in tent for 24 hours and direct plant seed

Ok the brick I have is not buffered at all. What nutes do you use?

Bricks are usually gonna take some washing. The hotter the water the faster the flush. I've used a bunch of nutes. Brand isn't as important as staying on top of the ppm you feed them
