Qpalzmstarted grow question 4y ago
Can all the run off water go in my water butt that I've put my nutrients in already.? Run off Ph and ppm is almost the same as what it is in the tank.

If it’s a consistent recirculating system- sure. But once salts build up after several hours of drying out, I’d think you’d have issues using it over and over..

Coco and PPM runoff readings!Hiya Folks 😊
With regards to feeding in Canna Coco Plus and using Canna nutrients.
I'm watering with the correct amounts for the particular phase I'm in and everything PH and PPM wise is spot on......
If my PPM runoff is constantly higher should think about feeding less nutes?Week 6

I tested the pH of my mediums and they were around 7 so, which I thought is too high so I watered with a 5 pH and I think this has brought the medium down to closer, around 6.5. I also put some worm castings for light top feed. Good ideas? Medium at 7 maybe caused yellowing?Week 2
