I measured run off ec today and it was 2.0 so i decided to give plain water until it drops. i have been feeding with nutes everyday 2.25 liters each. it evaporates but still i suspected salt build up. also im not sure if i measured it correctly. what are your thoughts?

Hi there,Run off EC 2.0 is not so high but it depends on how your plant response.Your plant seems to be much green in colour and tips burn(nute burn).In soil, the less nutrient the better if you want to see natural beautiful ripening sign.So cut off or reduce Nitrogen rich nutrient for a while.This also should lower your ec value.Only give water when your top soil is dried about an inch to two and keep run off around 10~15% to prevent salt build up.Check both of your water pH, ppm(EC) and run off even when you give plain water.You don’t need to water everyday and you don’t need to feed everytime you water.Always listen to your plants.Happy Growing... ✌️

Hi there, if you have been feeding every watering then you will have built up salts in the soil. When measuring runoff I let most of it drain and catch the last 200ml so it's a closer reading to what the soil/coco is.
