Less then 10 days from sprout no. Just proper ph water. After day 10 start very light and step up as needed. Do NOT go of nutrition information on bottles.

I added mycorrhiza to the coco coir from a local store. It turned out that there is slow release fertilizers in it. Was not indicated on the packaging.
Please Help! First time after watering with 5.7pH 400ppm drainage water was 6.7pH and 800ppm. I flushed her to 400ppm. Yesterday was the second watering (450ppm, 5.7pH) and drain was 700ppm 6.7pH. I flushed her to 460ppm (1.5l of water), but pH still 6.6 How to fix it?

Runoff PPM's are higher and Ph numbers are lower than what I've been adding when I water-
When I watered each of the plants with Ph balanced water only the runoffs for each plant were about 30% higher ppm than I put in on the previous watering with nutes (see numbers above). The plants look very healthy. Should I be concerned with this and if so why?

To Tea or Not To Tea
How's it goin y'all, my question, I hope it's not a dumb question, do I NEED to brew a compost tea if my soil already has fertilizer and nutes in it (using Dr.Earth dry amendments like the all purpose 4-4-4, veg 5-7-3, and bloom 3-9-4) for autos?
