So I went shopping at the Hydro store, you know the one where Jim works, anyway he talked me into buying Chubby Buddha Coco, yes it is a little chiller in here but NO, Hell did not freeze over, LOL 🤣 So yes WoodI is going to try it's hands at coco. I did buy the 70/30 mix and it's TRIPLE WASHED, wow, and it's buffered, and Chubby Buddha and I have a striking resemblance maybe we're related like Forest and Bubba were.
So now what do I do??? @BubbleHok, @Monkeydo, Mr Wizard, "Momma" any body!! So I've got some clonies that need a homie, should I just moisten and stick? like a first date or do I need to rinse something first?
Here I found some info for you.
No need to thank me, it didnt take long to find I think I can paste links, right? LOL

Honor is simply the morality of superior men.
Why Thanks @sevans1965, now I'm an expert!!
@woodi2 you wanting to do seeds or clones? Not a huge amount of difference but you will need to adjust the strength of your input first, and always not sometimes, not every other time but always add calmag to the feed. But yes start low ec and run it as drain to waste, shoot for 2 feeds a day depending on your temps and never let it dry out. Funnily enough I'm kicking off a coco grow as we speak, wanna run a side by side 🤣
I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.
Yep so re reading your post you say clones.... what have you rooted the clones in? Essentially you want to start at a lower ec feed, somewhere around .25 - .35 ec and 5.8-6.0ph, shouldn't take long for them to take off and recover from your transplant. I would dose the coco with a feed till runoff before you plant the clones in it to give them something to eat, make sure your getting at least 15% runoff out the bottom and you should be golden.

@bubblehok, thank you kind sir, yes I am basically on track with everything you said. The clones are in rockwool and a 35yr old hydro cloner, hey it still works!! I was going to run some nutz through the pots tonight to get them prepped. The hydro clones I guess I'm just putting them straight in the coco and wishing them well? 🖐️ I'll work on the runoff tonight too. I have LA clones and CKA clones, 5 each, 2 will go into a hydro buckets and 8 will go into coco. These are going to go into the 12/12 schedule here very shortly.
How about if I just follow in your foot steps, you can leave me a bread crumb trail. lol
@woodi2 sounds like a good plan bro, I don't know about breadcrumbs but I could leave little skunk nuggets? 🤣
You shouldn't have an issue with the Rockwool but just be mindful it stays damp longer than the coco so early on just be careful with them getting wet feet, once they start spreading their feelers out into the coco you should be fine. That CKA loves the coco and I pushed mine to about 1.7ec before she started getting a bit cranky so you have plenty of room to play with the input. The LA will be a fun one too, haven't run that myself so can't give you any input tips there, but it's pretty much going to be the same method of feeling them out feed wise. Should be good watching these come around for you bro, can't wait to see how you go over here on the dark side of the salts kingdom!

@bubblehok, my ass is buffered better than this coco, it higher than I am. lol PH-6.95 and EC-0.60+after some rinsing. Should I just do the double dose of Cal/mag PH'd at 6.0? I had a light mix of 0.38 and PH of 5.95 but that went out the window. lol
