Mainline looks good.

I'll just say that if you're going to grow in coco and use synthetics, then you should just grow in 100% coco (e.g., coco/perlite) and not Coco Loco, which is about 50% coco and has fertilizer and other shit in it.

In coco that doesn't contain "aged forest products" or fertilizers, you just water it with nutrients every single day, at least once a day, and the plants will take off like a rocket ship and realistically you never have to worry about overwatering.

Thanks for your insight. The Coco Loco is not cheap. That will be a savings. Do you also start seeds in the same manner? My first grow a few years ago I ordered coco coir and perlite and went that way. Not sure why I changed. Well, I do know. Reading too damn much speculated information. Lol.

After the coco is properly rinsed and charged, I do a final rinse with 0.4-0.5 EC nutrients. I take germinated seeds and put them in the coco/perlite in solo cups.

Once the seed pops up from the coco, after 24 hours I'm feeding nutrients at 0.4-0.5 EC. Some people wait for 3-7 days before feeding nutrients because the cotyledons will provide food to the seedling, but hitting it the next day with nutrients makes the growth take off during the first week, which makes it possible the next week to...

On day 8 or 9, I increase the EC to 1.0-1.1 EC and top out at around 1.2 EC in veg, and top out around 1.3 EC in flower. Always feeding multiple times per day - seedling to harvest. If one feels sketchy about feeding at least once a day during seedling, increasing perlite to a 50/50 ratio will ensure no problems.
