Cuttings In Coir

[old grumpy ghost]

hi guys,just about to take another 24 cuttings from my skunk1 mothers,done approx 200 already before so know the route,wondered if anyone has an opinion on this,my last 24 never made it,i normally use small coir pots filled with coco which has been pre-treated with rhizotonic,make dibble hole + fill with Gel for plugs,in go cuttings cover with thin layer coco + straight in heated propgator to keep humidity up and BoBs your uncle,2 wks later rooted out bott+sides mint,so why dident the last ones make it? the only thing i changed from previous cuttings was the media,i ALWAYS use canna pro+ but had to bite the bullit and buy autococo,i feed run to waste and canna is normally very clean,but this autococo run off was black-filthy black dont like the look of it,all the cuttings went yellow and got worse,tried flushing they wouldent recover,someone screamed nitrogen def but honstly i dont think that was prob,bought more canna +bottle Formulex,would it be wise to pre-treat coco with this,can anyone tell me ratio to do this and i'd like opinions on Autococo.i certainly wont be using that again
