Damn, sorry I wasn't watching this thread a little bit closer. I really like those blocks of Coco because you know you're not getting any bugs or any larva or anyting when you get them all compressed like that. You almost always get all the bug problems from the big bags of soil and stuff like that at your local Hydro shop.
I put mine in a about a, I guess it's about a, 20 gallon tub kind of about the size you had. And I just put two three liters of water in wait a couple hours come back flip block over put a couple more liters in. I keep that up until I've got a relatively dry mix that I can separate well with my hands. I actually use a little bit less water than what my instructions recommend.
After I get everything all mixed I put my perlite in and put that all into my pots. I like to pre-charge my Coco with a little bit of Cal Mag and a very very weak solution of my nutrients. Sometimes I get seedlings that start so fast that they can quickly outgrow the stores they have in their first leaves. At that point I usually poor almost as much water through it as the pot is rated at, just to make sure that I wash out any salts that might have been left in the Coco.
Where I'm growing
Hello bud, this is my first time with coco so little learning process, I certainly no not to use as much water as I did, and to leave to work in, I think I was un patient, i ended up untaping the holes in the bottom of the recycling boxes and the water poured out, so going to leave 24hrs to dry out a little bit before planting my seeds,
I potted up me 3 pots and their was still some run of water from the soaking, so left in shower raised as to run of the rest of the water, and probably will run some ph’d water through again before actually planting the seeds.
And yours are looking nice will tag along
