Hello guys just a quick update on me block of coco coir
Well that wasn’t an easy job I can tell u, I cleaned out a couple of me recycling boxes and put the block in(tried to saw it in half but think saw was blunt lol)
So first of all I put 6l water in and not much happened so added another 6litres of water with a ph of between 5.5-6.2 I could then start to break some of it up, and in the Center still dry as hell, takes ages to proper penetrate the middle, so I added another 6”litres of ph water, I then got me hands stick in and tried moving it all about as to get the water evenly distributed between the coco,
So that’s 18litres water I’ve added and still quiet a few lumps about with dry bits in the middle, so again add another 6litres of water and really get stuck in and move all about, I then left for about 15 mind and then tipped into another recycling box as to get the wet soggy stuff on the bottom to now sit on the top and seep through the rest.
At this point I thought I’ll read the instructions, duh me it only says to add 12litres of water and leave 15mins, so I’ve not give double but to be honest it’s not all that bad, I’m now going to leave for a bit for the water to sleep through the whole lot, and then I have a 10litre bag of perlite that I will add in to the coco coir and the. Distribute between my 3 12litre pots
