If you add your nutes and the ec is too high then add water until you lower the ec to proper levels or use less nutes to reach your ec. Cheers

Dilution would be the only option. Are you shaking up your bites very well before use? This can give inconsistent results.

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower.
When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom.
So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?Setup. Substrates

Exit EC in peat and perliteVariety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?Week 2
