Hey Del was using lemon juice but i have just found my old GH Ph down so gonna give that a try i have a grocheck from hanna and check the calibration every other watering. I think that I was also not watering enough when i watered and causing me to not get much run off there for nutes were building up. This Coco is just a learning curve I hope! one more question Are you folks buffering the coco before using?

and there you have it, lemon juice doesnt hold ph for long i believe............i use coco straight out the bag and water with ph'd weak nutes.....2ml tnt.then pop my cracked seeds in and they do fine.............ph is everything in coco........coco rocks

HESI Nutes guys.

Is it OK to use the Root Stimulator and TNT at full strength or should I offset them? 5ml of each per ltr or 2.5ml or each per ltr? Also is it ok to use every feed or just during germination and around transplant time?

i wish i could help but i have never used root stimulator........i just let the pots dry when they are small to increase root mass.....
