Coco coir new seedlings watering

Grow Cycle Seedling
1

I tried some new to me “organic” soil and this soil stayed to wet and stunted the seedlings.

So I transplanted them into washed and buffered coco coir 3-1 perlite mixture 5 gal fabric pots

I’m new to coco. I’m watering/fertilizing with Jack’s 321. My question is do I water in circles using small amounts like in soil or do I saturate to run off. The overwatering I did earlier causing concern for me

I’m growing in coco/autopots I water them like I would in soil small circles and increase the watering until full watering/or turning on the autopots.

My adventures with Coco continue. I flushed my coco and thought I soaked it in enough cal mag to prevent nutrient lock and I was partially correct.

One plant took off like gangbusters deep green. The other lagged behind them started turning lime green. I added extra cal mag but no help.

Finally got warm enough here to re flush the hell out of that plants coco and then soaked heavily in a lot of cal mag.

Boom all new growth turned dark green and then it’s growth exploded and caught up then passed the other plant.

Lesson learned !
