Nutrient burn.. Best runoff methods?!
Ixnaystarted grow question 4 years ago
What's the 'best' method for runoff?
I've noticed my plant has a nutrient burn and realised I've not been watering until runoff enough which I think might have caused a build-up. Either that or the plant is perspiring more than necessary causing excess uptake.
Thanks!

Heya lxnay,
I see you are using coco so I would flush with a low ppm water w/calmag at correct pH. I would water twice the amount as usual then test the run off water and see if it is the same as what you are putting in. If it isn't, keep watering until it is and then continue watering as normal.
I would also recommend some perlite next grow, it allows more more aeration and drainage. I find it really helps with root growth on the plants. Most people I know do a 60/40 mix of coco/perlite. I personally love the opposite with 60/40 perlite/coco.
Good luck with the grow!
Cheers,

20% run off vrs what you put in is a perfect ratio imo. Unless your pure organic Growing. Then like 1% runoff or as little as possible. ✌️😉

When to use terra aquatica ripen? Wait until they look ready to harvest or when they look like they will be ready in 2 weeks while using ripen?I'm coming to the end & I think they need a few more weeks at least, but I may be just kidding myself, thinking they're gonna double in size.
I'm gonna use ripen for the final 2 weeks with a 48h flash clean before & after, so should I start now or wait for more amber trichomes?

When should I switch from veg to flower fertilizers?I've only fed using Gaia Green 4-4-4 once to date and notice no deficiencies. Should I re-feed fully with Gaia Green 4-4-4 in two weeks or add some of the power bloom during that feed? Would you reccomend adding any other nutrients to my grow?

Less water multiple times a week or more water and less times a week?Like I said in the description. Im thinking about increasing the water per shower. For now 1liter per day or two seems to work fine. If I increase it will last maybe a day longer?How often should I feed them? Is every day good or is it better if the feeding will last 2-3 days?Week 5

Watering on different stagesAnother basic questions, dear growers. I do understand the basic rules, but I would love to get some expertise from active growers. My case: 11 litres plastic pots with auto flowers inside. How much and how often would one recommend me to water them to maximize the result. ThanksFeeding. Schedule
