Would love some CoCo Coir Advice! New to CoCo, please share any Tips & Tricks!

Im going to be growing in coco coir using botanicare cocogro...a few quetions do i have to put a rock or any hydroton at the bottom for a "air pocket" also I will be hand watering the ladies...any advice for me would be awesome, ive only used dwc and dont really know much about coco...it would be nice to go into details on how to know when to water and how often during the seeding stage (I am going to transplant from Rapid Rooters) +Rep please! and +Rep for all replies!

get a plant pot, chuck some coco in it, chuck a plant in it, water with nutrients as per manufacturers feeding schedule, really is that simple with coco

edit: if you are using rootriots/plugs etc you can jus put this in the pot and cover with coco

Don't you have to rinse the coco?

some brands you have to, manufacturers website should give you an idea

Also when i rinse and soak the coco should i add any nutes to it? like adding nutes while they are soaking... or wait until the cotyledons have fallen off?

I don't rinse my botanicare coco and I've had no problems really but it might be a good idea. I love the shit. You should look up the coco growers unite thread it has some badass info about coco

You don't need to mix in nutrients when you transplant or plant into it but id suggest mixing in some mychorrize for great results.
