Hi! 4 days ago I planted in your coco coir 9 seeds, and only four have grown slightly over the surface and seem to be slightly burnt. I measured EC of water that flows on a saucer and was until 1.12ms (the water that was watered EC0.15ms). Do you add an fertilizer to Coco Coir? PH also has decreased from 7.3 to 6.5 ... First time using your coco and a little disappointed.

I normally give my coco a light root stim feed, then put my already poped bean into it, give it a week or so on just the root stim mix dude.

Ater that you want to be feeding them at an e.c of 0.8 - 1.0 with a simple base nutrient (i use canna a+b) mix with root stim (i use rhizotonic)

Once youve mixed your nutes up, leave to settle a little while, 10-15 mins or so and then set your ph anywere between 5.8 - 6.2, i normally set mine at 5.8 which seems to work well for me.

If you research the coco thread HERE then im sure you wont be dissapointed with your coco dude, the stuffs amazing, once youve got your head around all the numbers n that, its different than soil, theres no ferts in coco dude.

At the first watering I added 1 ml / L root stimulator and grow 1ml/1L coco A + B, EC was 0.90ms but not measured the water from the saucer (I suspect that was 1.90-2.00ms!). The second time I watered with clean water for EC 0.15ms as I wrote above, and the EC amounted until 1.10. I had already cultivated in canna coco and had no problems. I think that Coco Coir from Plant Magic is fertilized. The second thing is that the PH decresed and should not, because coco is neutral right?
