Good luck Tint! I hear ya man on the learning experience, one of mine I never really talked about was 9 plants in 3 gal pot that I chopped in the end of January. I was pissed and scrapped it, all got made into wax.

I use. Coarse coco.

F the Fine coco.

Below. Never.again. Gold label coco. (I added the perlite.)

It's weird.
Wet or dry, this coco is noticeably black vs brown. Out of the bag, no perlite, retains way too much water. Probably contains lots of fines and dust.
Choking out my starter plants.

Perlite rinsing out the powder and dusty crap.

I just started using Jacks myself and been mixing with 15ppm RO exactly 321 with no extra additives and I end up at 1.8 EC. It seems a little high to me but wasn't sure what everyone else is getting. Are your EC readings on the above chart correlateing with what you're getting after you mix up a batch?

My final mixed EC is always higher on my meter(s) than advertised.

It used to drive me nuts. Lol

It's my understanding that it's related to some non-nutrient dissolved solids in solution.

I feed between 1.2 and 2.0, on the meter. Often 1.7ish.

Yeah it's a little mind-boggling when all that was added in was the nutrients to begin with. I start tripping on my meter and wondering if it's off even after calibration or some other factor I'm not considering.
