Preparing coco coir bricks with tap water.

[Anoney]

So I'm about to prepare some coco coir bricks and I'm going to use tap water. End result should land around 60 liter of coco coir.

My tap water:

Calcium 50mg/L
Chloride 6mg/L
Magnesium 3mg/L
Sulfate, SO4 14mg/L
ppm 140
pH 8

Do I need to add any kind of nutes while re-hydrating the bricks? I have zero clue if my tap water is good or bad.
I plan on adding perlite to the mix.

For reference:
1 milligram / liter =
3.78541178 milligrams / US gallon

What are you planting seeds or clones?

Are your bricks buffered?

veg solution i use:
Calcium 2.5 mmol/l = 100 ppm
Chloride: 0.2 mmol/l = 7.0 ppm
Magnesium: 1.5mmol/l = 36ppm
Elemental Sulphur 0.5 mmol/l = 16 ppm

Whats your goal? Your tap water is excellent to be used to wash coco.

Rinse well with tap to remove salts,I use a smart pot to do this. Lol

You need to rinse and then soak in PH adjusted water.
Unless the coco is already ph balanced...then you don’t need to do a thing.
