Peace.
It's my first time growing in coco. I noticed I get a lot of runoff. When I gave plant 1.5L of water, I measured about 1.3L of runoff. I usually water right away, with very little interval. Is it a problem, or it's normal while growing in coco?
It can be due to your airpot+ maybe bad quality coco or not the right choice for that kind of pot, or you have rolled the pot in the wrong way.
Theres can be a lot of variables, wait some coco experienced grower that can help u in others way maybe 😊✌️🏽
There’s no way a 19L pot should have 1.3L run off from 1.5L of feed. With that type of pot I would water slowly and sometimes just pouring about 500ml on the top layer making sure to wet the entire surface also helps before pouring the rest in slowly.
I like those type of pots for soil and felt pots but not a massive fan for coco as a lot seems still spill out the sides and you really want the water to act like a piston that pushes all the old feed out. Water slow and check pot weight for confirmation of when it needs a feed.
Run off for coco should be between 10-20% of volume added.
In future I would use plain plastic pots however that’s just my opinion buddy👍
