trying new brand potentially low quality coco questions

hyrdo store kicked me down a few blocks to test out so they can get feed back.... always been a bagged person.... is the ec level of the run off all i need to worry about? Took one block expanded it flushed with a few gallons of cold water then 15 gallons of steaming hot water... ec meters broken... and one of my full season girls are going into it and cant risk losing one so late into the season... any advice on what to look out for?

make sure u got cal-mag on hand,u going to need it in coco,when I expand blocks I use 2 ml cal-mag per gal then u ready to roll

Yeah everything should be fine I pH the water at flush the Coco with but adding 2 milliliters of Cal mag per gallon during feedings and you should be good to go

cal mags on point... woried about other issues that i might not be aware of... found some small sized husks ungrinded for some reason the paraoia in my head has me tripping theyres other shit to worry about

same as baged stuff not quite as pretty,i have expanded most brands they all the same

so regardless of texture all that matters is the dissolved solids? baby girls going into a 100 gallon tomorrow if you say yes
