How do you wash it after each grow? i use promix and i feel they are almost the same thing as coco.Mixed up coco for the Lil'Mobstar seeds last night. Don't think I ever explained how I do my coco so here it is.
I use Canna Coco bricks. Easy to store and comes buffered already. I mix up my nutrient mixture, these gals are getting Botanicare Kind. Dilute to 1.0ec then ph to 5.8. Then add recharge at 1tsp per gallon. I add 6qts of perlite to one brick. It takes right at 2 gallons of nutrient solution to expand the brick and get the moisture content i like. This ratio fills a #5 fabric pot to within 2 inches from the top. I always add hydroton to the top of these since they'll be on the drain to waste system.View attachment 1520421View attachment 1520422View attachment 1520423View attachment 1520424View attachment 1520425
After each grow i suspend my pots above a big empty trash can and water hose the top until i get 800ppm out the bottom, takes about a hour per pot lol then i pop a seed and repeat at the end of each grow, i stopped buying promix once i filled up 2 big ass totes and have been reusing it ever since with no issues yet.
I would of used coco but at the time it was EXPENSIVE everywhere and online was hurting my soul on shipping prices so the cheap $8-12 promix cubes at walmart and homedepot saved my wallet at the time. i need to recheck prices and give coco a go.
