 expanding coir with rapidstart

for those who don't know, rapidstart is general hydroponics answer to roots excellurator. it promotes root growth to transplants.
I have a bunch of coco I'm looking to expand. most of it will be used to transplant established plants into larger buckets. a small percentage will be used to put rooted clones into. and a very small percentage may be used to start seeds in.
so, I'm wondering if rapidstart is too much for seedlings and new clones? it'd save a lot of hassle for me if I could just expand with it and have it readily available for my transplants.

I'd expand with ph balanced water.
I wouldn't use the Rapidstart until You start your feeding.
I love that stuff tho.
It does wonders for the root development.
I have also found that 1ml does just as good as the recommenced 2.5ml per gallon GH recommends.

I always use 1 ml, But I use it as soon as roots are formed.

With clones I start with 1/4 strength nute mix and yes I use rapidstart then.
I use nothing but water on seedlings until they are ready to eat.
Haven't considered using it on fresh seedlings before tho.
May have to try it one day.

I don't use it the moment they pop or anything, but once they have the second set of true leaves they get a dose of it.
