"Due to the slow nutrient release from the Charge in the Ecothrive Coco Lite Mix, you can start feeding with your nutrient program from day one. Start with a low EC around 1.2 and always use a coco-specific nutrient formula."

Coco should always look wet. If you can't do that move to soil. You have to have EC and pH test equipment to run Coco correctly. The lies the snake oil sales people tell you do not matter.
Why?
It promotes proper rootball growth. Starting a plant in large container makes the taproot shoot straight down then most lateral root growth occurs.
LOL, I meant why does it have to be a Solo Cup? My generic nursery pint pots have done fine for the last decade or so.
Oh I misunderstood what you meant then. It can be any smaller container obviously.

The fact that you don't measure EC or pH doesn't bode well for your success in coco. The companies producing those nutrients will say anything to get you to buy their products. It obviously worked.
Yeah some people naturally do better in soil and others in hydro. I tended to water everything to death so my affinity to hydro was there.
No problem at all
It was really me I should have bolded the word. But you gave the OP some terrific information in a clear and concise manner so it was a win.
Imo/e people have easier access to solo cups is all.
I don’t measure ec. Just ph, the nutes have been pretty forgiving for me. I have the healthiest plants I’ve grown. Looks better then a lot I’ve seen also. It all depends on how well you know your nutes you are using. Plus it helps that jr Peter’s has been in the agg business for years and years too
