Coco Coir Seedling Questions
Hello I would like to know if it's possible to over compact coco coir as I kept pushing it down when I filled pots and if it's the reason one of my seedlings cotyledon leaves are droopy. When do I first add nutrients to the water? Germinated and potted 2 days ago sprayed 3 times.

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mix
I have been adjusting my ph level to around 6.2-6.5. Now I'm wondering whether this was a mistake (see previous post), since I'm using BioBizz Light Mix (60%), coco coir (30%) and perlite (10%) as my substrate. Our tap water has a ph level of about 7.3.
