Bro,forget that runoff crap.everyone is confused about it I see. Do your plants look OK? Then there is no problem.higher runoff ph than input ph means your plants absorb the nutes well and this is a great sign.if ph was just like how you set your feeding ph then this would be a problem because all nutes that build up in your pots drop the ph dramatically. Runoff is shit bro,runoff is nothing unless your plants are dying. Coco makes the nutes more and always available to your plants than soil,they probably eat well,do not get confused on runoff please and do nothing about it. Yes,flushing with acidic water will make the runoff drop but this will most likely cause problems.better stay like this,do not mess up your coco please. If your plants grow well,dont take action.if they dont,please share photos with us so we can find a way to recover.
Trust me,your plants dont feel the way you are worried about them.
Do you analyse your urine every day or every month? I guess no. Doctors only ask for it when you are sick.think like this.

we already gave the RIGHT answer ; he doesn't have any problems but unnecessarily concerned about that runoff ph myth. your boy grows nice with coco but we don't huh? check out my diaries and see how to properly grow massive trees and get outstanding crops with coco. ph coming out is not that important but people hang around like they know everything,just like that barns bullshit. he doesn't even grow in coco yet he talks rubbish about it and misleads people. talking to your guy for what? for a non existent problem? and your boy will answer like "flush with low ph water" and it will cause serious problems for this dude,breaking ph balance of his coco. come on, I know how this website works. you and others periodically come and enter the contest and spread very false information.I've seen a lot of people complaining about how their crops got ruined by misleading info. please leave that grower advertising bullshit and focus on your own job if you don't have an idea about what's going on...

Your ph going in and coming out are important. I suggest talking to Roberts as he grows some nice crops with coco. Coco and pebbles is hydroponics, just another form, we call soiless. Getting your coco buffered properly before hand keeps things going much more smoothly. Cheers my friend.

If hydro the only check is run-off EC not PH, its meaningless unless some major weird issue exists.

Keep running 5.5 PH water through it until your runoff is between 5.5 and 6. Then go back to feeding like normal. Make sure you flush with PH'd water every 3-4 feedings. Salts can build up quickly with coco.

When you collect your runoff aim for 20% going in. Try and collect the last bit of runoff and test that rather then the whole 20%

Someone said to me if i add silica will give me more kkkkkkkkk (alkalinity) so when i ph down i wil have to add more which give me more aaaaaaa(acid) .
KKKKKKKKKK AAAAAAAAAA
Now you again have nutrients, decay etc that will add acid and lower PH. The last example added 2 more acid so we do the same.
KKKKKKKKKK AAAAAAAAAAAA
and you only have 17ish% increase to acid. So the PH change is much less. Confused. But i fort jus keep feeding with a ph 5 5. . Doe wana keeo fkushing loads wil damage root zone alredy overwatered it at the start

Just what your doing, flush with a lower ph. You have buildup in the medium so if you keep putting in 5.5 it will eventually lower it to 5.5 as the buildup washes away. Just keep flushing my friend.

Nutrient burn?I believe I overfertilized this week. I am using a four bucket DWS system with Reservoir bucket. This is the last week of my veg and I might’ve been heavy handed with the fertilizer. At one point my solution was 1844 ppm. I usually run itbetween 8 to 1200 ppm. I delutedd the solution in half. I didn’t have time to change it all because the lights are going out. Do you think this is nutrient burn? Thanks

Coco grow: the EC of my runoff is consistently 0.2 mS/cm lower as what goes in (1.1 in at this time, runoff is at 0.9). Also, PH of runoff is at 5.8, while 6,5 goes in. Is this a problem? What causes this? Its been 8 days since germination and they look healthy.

Hydroponic PPM and feeding. How do I match magnesium sulphate to potassium for flowering??Do I got this right? Hydroponic Flowering cannabis eats at a rate of 1-1-2 and for maximum useage, feeding 1-1-2 makes sense. Extra nutes outside the ratio is wasted and extra. You want highest PPM possible before burning. Will extra Cal-Mag burn roots/leaves?Feeding. Other
