Awesome! Thanks NewtyGreat question!
If you are using a brick, I rehydrate it in tub in Luke warm water (temp doesn’t matter I just hate cold hands) let it get all saturated and break it all up real good while it’s sitting in the tub. To drain it, I use one of those screen drains like in the kitchen to stop any thing from going down the tub. In the summer I rehydrate in a wheel barrel. However you do it the basics are: rehydrate, let it sit in the water while you break it up. Drain it and squeeze it out as best you can and then rinse it one more time. This helps remove any nutrients/junk being held in the coco to make room for the Calcium you are going to add...Wooohoooo
Once I’ve rinced the coco twice, I squeeze it out good in the tub and then add 1/4 grow nutrients, mycorrhizae and full strength cal mag. I let that sit for a couple hours, drain then add to my pots and let those dry out in the tub or somewhere for 12-24 hours. Then they are ready basically. Thatsmy process with bricks! I barely by bricks now though because I’m lazy and that’s a lot of fn. work. CANNA COCO - Nutrients product line | CANNA CANADA
That’s the stuff I buy now...all I do with this is soak it in the mix I mentioned and pots. No rehydrating and it’s the nicest coco I’ve used! I’ve tried all the brands I can here in Canada and I get this from my local garden shop
hahaha either way
I was just going to do a small chunk because it’s going into 3 solo cups right now. But now I’m thinking, would it be ok to rehydrate the whole brick and then just let the rest sit there for a couple/few weeks? I bought a big bag of soil for my last grow and then while it was sitting in the garage, it got taken over by knats. Just a little paranoid about that happening again.
so don’t need it. I was able to keep PPM at 400 and under without diluting it
