High Runoff EC. Possible toxicity?
Jfmart420started grow question 3 years ago
My runoff EC keeps climbing, I've watered just plain water in between feedings to try combating it but it climbs back up. Am I doing that right? Should I be diluting my solution and keeping the ratios the same? Please, any advise is welcomed

Coco needs nutes every watering so don’t give plain water and your nutrient levels are way too high for autos, look at my diary for the nutes I’m using (also using GHE trio) and you can see how much less I’m using. The high levels could be causing lockout therefore increasing coco EC, that’s what was happening to me early on. Also your pH should be 5.8 for soilless in veg and 6.2 for bloom. Happy growing bro

Also, water twice a day if you can with at least 20% runoff every time. My runoff EC is nearly the same As my inflow at all times now. Coco loves frequent fertigation, look it up online for some articles. Major thing I realised, use the GHE feedchart on their website. They have it for the proper nutrient ratios. Then dilute it down to around the EC level on the feedchart. Autos are delicate and shouldn’t require more than 900ppm throughout growth

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual.

The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

I added mycorrhiza to the coco coir from a local store. It turned out that there is slow release fertilizers in it. Was not indicated on the packaging.Please Help!
First time after watering with 5.7pH 400ppm drainage water was 6.7pH and 800ppm. I flushed her to 400ppm.
Yesterday was the second watering (450ppm, 5.7pH) and drain was 700ppm 6.7pH. I flushed her to 460ppm (1.5l of water), but pH still 6.6

Watering in Super CoCoHey there fellow growers! So I’ve been trying to figure out the best watering schedule and volume 🧐I’ve been told to always water with runoff, go by weight, top inch dry, etc.
I guess my main question is runoff necessary when watering in Super CoCo?
All advice appreciated!🌱Other. Other

PPM in DWC hydro systemHello,
It's my fist time with hydro and my girl are doing very well, she is an Auto on second week of bloom and the PPM are around 1000 of Remo Nutrients.
She are drinking 1L by day and the PPM dropped too.
Must I put water with ferts or just clean water? If with ferts how much?
