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

Subsrtate ph is too high
From the every beginning my ph monitors (soil sensors) are showing ~ph7. I drained it with ph 5.2 solution for two times already, but I still have ~ph6.8 - 7 in both of my pots. Will it hurt my sweet babies? How to make soil ph lower without damage them? Please help me.

Biobizz siempre?
Uso productos biobizz y me gustaría saber cómo riegan a sus niñas. Riego cada 3 días, a veces 2 a 2. ¿Debo usar los productos en cada riego o alternar riegos con agua? Gracias

Watering in Super CoCo
Hey 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!🌱

Increase Nutes?
How are they looking? I’m only feeding 1/2 the nutes recommended on the bottle and I’m running around 600ppfd. Do you think they look like they need more light or nutes.

Watering question - Volume?
Currently doing my 1st grow and had some watering questions. I see a lot online about when to water which seems pretty easy to understand but I have trouble finding the amount of water. Is it based on the size of the pot? or the size of the plant? or both maybe? How much?
