A pot can not run off because it has no legs!😁

You may need to add more water. Pot could be so compact that it could take a while to get runoff. Best of luck with your grows!

More water to achieve runoff, soil may be too compacted if you didn't add perlite to it. Rule of thumb is ~20% of what you watered in to the pot as runoff.

Hi mate, you are probably only giving enough to wet the soil. add more water to experience run-off. Good luck

High ppm in organic coco
So I’m growing with organic nutrients blended into the coco. My runoff ppm is over 4500 but plants aren’t showing any signs of lockout. Should I be worried? How can I drop the ppm of the coco runoff?

NL Auto Day 56 — after major nutrient imbalance: I don’t know how to rehabilitate or determine when ready to flush and harvest... Suggestions for a n00
I committed a n00b mistake & got the nutes all outa whack during bloom. Now the fan leaves are yellowing and brittle. The stigmas are also turning orange, but I don’t see ANY amber trichs — maybe just burned? I fed again, but don’t know how to tell when to flush for harvest. THX!

Foliar spray in DWC
Can you use a foliar spray made from organics (fulvic and humid acid, potash, sea kelp, wetting agent) in a DWC? Or is using any organic material more trouble than it's worth? Is week 3 too early for foliar spraying? Hoping to green my thumb a bit. Thanks

Ph and ec in batmix??
Most of the people here telling me that i should regulate ph and ec when growing in soil (batmix) But on plagron website: Should I adjust the pH and EC values if I grow with Batmix? No, combined with our 100% NATURAL Grow Style you don't have to regulate the pH and EC value
