I have read that it needs to be rinsed before use or it causes reactions and on the other hand I have read that it maintains the PH at 6.5 always. |
Mercy...I know this is way outside the box, but I have no idea what the pH is in the coco. I have a relative idea of where my water/solution stands, as I measure it when I do winter DWC grow. A new 10 gal container of solution mix runs from 6.0 to 6.2 with my digital meter. I've never had problems with those numbers, so I simply leave well enough alone. I don't do any run-off testing, because I really dont care. I just want to keep it simple if no problems occur.
The coco I use is said to be pre-rinsed -- I still rinsed it myself. One of my goals with this grow is to see if coco can be as fast and productive as DWC. I'd just love to eliminate many of the hassles connected with dwc. I'm somewhat obsessive about my growing, and have fairly accurate records of each grow. The past three cold seasons, I've had very successful bubbler harvests, and the speed can't be argued. This grow will be used as a comparison.
So far, I really really like this stuff. Next installment with photos next Tuesday...B
