After I noticed the dark tint to the
nutrient solution to my bell peppers I decided to soak the chips real well and rinse and I did this tell about 5 times before I transplanted my strawberry into the chips. I think it still added some color to the nutrient solution but at this point I don't think it is a problem because it is organic and most importantly my strawberry's are looking very healthy with dark green glossy looking leaves after almost 2 weeks.
